Living alone is hard. Living alone and being thousands of miles away from family. Living alone and having no friends. Living alone and having social anxiety.
I want so badly to just have one friend. Just one person that understands. One person that I can get coffee with or have a glass of wine with. Someone I can connect with that understands depression and anxiety. Someone I can be completely honest with without fear of judgment or rejection.
I feel completely alone. And it hurts tremendously
AliCat21, … I feel this way most of the time. It’s been a battle for many years. Some years were good I’ll admit but mostly lots of depression, overwhelming sense of loneliness. Going through a bout of it right now. But know this, lots of people here get it and are very kind and helpful. You can usually talk to someone whenever you want. I know it’s a terrible feeling but this is a good site and I’ll check back with you and see how you are doing. I’ve just had a crummy day myself but will be better a little later.👍🏻🙏❤️💕 if you want to chat! Jane
Hi 👋 it’s Shnookie. I’m here 4 U. U can personally message me. U R brave to have come to this website. There R warm and supportive people here where U can freely express your thoughts and emotions. I live by myself and know that this can be challenging at times especially during the lockdown. U can do things such as playing music that U like, exercising and doing other things that bring U happiness.
Hugs 🤗 S
I have a hard time doing anything when I feel like this. How do you find the motivation?
I turn my TV on. It’s a pacifier for me. I know if I sat on my couch in total silence it would be very difficult for me. My beloved mother who was also bipolar taught me this trick from her psychiatrist. If I find that my mind is being overwhelmed by so many thoughts I take out my journal. There is motivation here because being overwhelmed is too much for me to handle. U can personally
message me as well. I’m always here 4 U
Hugs 🤗 S ❤️😎💪
Sorry you're going through this. Alot of us on here are pretty similar in this way. Lots of support if you need it, and can feel free to message anytime if you want somebody to talk to .
Hey dear, I am sorry that you feel that way. I feel the same every single day. It is so hard to trust people because all they do is to judge us having troubles. Although I am miles away from you, but you can always share your feelings, talk to me in personal message. I will try to be a good friend to you and there to listen and share. I hope you feel better 😊
Sounds familiar, desire with a lack of motivation is a painful brew. How do you put yourself out there so wounded? What choice do we have? My thoughts are with you.
I am so sorry you are feeling lonely. Thank you for being brave and sharing that with us. I know I don't live near you, but I live alone too and struggle with feeling lonely. The good thing is: you and I are not alone! I will pray that your pain lessens and that you are able to find someone that you can share with. I do a lot of volunteer work, and that helps me meet other folks who need friends. Hugs to you!
I wish I could give you a big HUG right now. I have many days I feel this way too. I believe in a higher power and I have prayed for positive new friendships. I feel blessed to have connected with so many people online here. We are so alike in so many ways. I have even found new friendships close to home, of which, I feel is also a blessing. Prayer works if you have faith. I have faith my friend and I will pray for you. Reach out anytime you need to. We are a community of sisters and brothers here truely needing each other.
I'm hurting badly for all the same reasons, don't know how you get through xmas
Hi. I feel alone too. I’m not sure which part of the US you live in but I’m in the Midwest. The cold days are tough. I’m here if you want to chat just send a note. I just started to try some things suggested by others on this site. This community is the best. I love being apart of it because people do understand. People can relate and although some ideas might not work for you some ideas just might. Please reach out. I’m in need to. Here’s a virtual here’s to our new friendship. Are you looking forward to anything in December? I have my kids band concert and dance recitals. Both should be nice.
Me too. That's why I've reached out to find in-person support groups but got no response on that. I feel your pain, literally.
I Feel for you. I live alone, as well. My Jack Russell, Kitty and Horse are my best friends giving me unconditional love and companionship. I do have friends that I spend time with but no one close enough to discuss how challenging it is, at times, living with GAD and depression. It’s the reason I joined this forum. Surely there must be someone near you. It’s just a matter of finding them. Or, perhaps, there’s a local group that meets in your area. Do you have hobbies where you could meet people?
Hi Ali,Since this post was written a year ago, I was wondering if things had changed for you🤔
I feel so alone
I feel so alone
I feel so alone
I feel so alone with this 
feeling so lost and alone
