I'm very depressed, anxious, and suicidal. Not being in a romantic relationship has been making my feel very low. Kinda just looking for some support

hi, dear. not being in a romantic relationship sometimes is happiness. you will always be able to find someone to love, but not always you will be able to be free. right person in a right time, honey. when the time comes, you'll find your person.

Thank you. I just have a hard time finding any joy in anything. Maybe I think of it as a an escape

[Nicetry_1 in reply to KarateKenny]

i thought exactly the same and know i tried to end my life because of my partner. love wasn't a salvation for me. be careful with it.

[KarateKenny in reply to Nicetry_1]

I'm so sorry. If you ever want to talk feel free to send me a message. You are even younger than me I want you to keep going you deserve to be here and shouldn't let anyone else take that from you

If you're feeling suicidal, it's probably best not to rush into a relationship ATM.

It's probably better to find friends and support for now, and let the relationship happen naturally later.

I've dated girls in the past, and I've had my heart broken too. There's PLENTY of people to date out there.

I've also been single for long periods of time too. It's OK to be single. & I get it, you're 22, but you have A LOT of life to live. There's no rush. The world is not going to run out of people to date when you are emotionally ready.

Breakups and being single in your late teens and early 20s feel like it's the end of the world, but it's not. It's more of a growing experience that most of us have been through. (myself included)

You are a lot more normal than you think.

I just feel really stuck in life. I'm not really social and don't think I really want more friends, so I do really know what to do. I do really care about anything. Getting into a relationship is the only thing I really look forward to

[AnxiousSilver in reply to KarateKenny]

I get it. Believe it or not I was once 22 myself (I remember that time period quite well), and was even single myself for a while during that time period.

I get the pressure of going out on the weekend and trying to meet someone, and the frustration of coming home when it doesn't work out.

Keep at it, be patient, and sometimes the girl you end up dating is someone you met when you weren't in the mood to go outside that day or night with your friends.
