Need a friend that listens

Hello everyone! I just need to talk to someone about my depression here, cause no one around me wouldn't listen nor would they understand me..Lately, my level of anxiety has increased so high that now I am just feeling so overwhelmed and emotionally drained. I can't eat anything and I have lost a lot of weight.

I have started a new job and it doesn't really go well at the moment. Since then, I have been feeling so depressed that I end up crying almost every night. I have social phobia too and with all the new faces I met recently, it has gone worse. I don't know how to make friends so every day I wake up getting ready to go to work , I'm feeling very anxious.

I'm still single and I love being alone but sometimes I just wish that I had someone who hugs me tightly at night when I'm crying in bed.

I can't even talk to my family about my problems because they won't understand me. They'll think I'm just making excuses to be lazy and do nothing.

I just need someone to talk to sincerely without being afraid of being judged. I need a friend who understands me and listens to me. I have always been strong enough to take care of myself alone all those time, but now I'm afraid it's too much and I can't take it anymore.

Sorry to hear you are going through that. It can be truly hard without a support system. Don't mind offering a listening ear when I can.

Thank you for the support, I really appreciate it ❤️Yes, family rarely understands those kind of situations and I think that's why we're all here. It's so comforting to know that there are still people like you who's listening and giving support to those who needs help, so thank you.

Also, I don't have any therapist yet. In my country, it actually costs a lifetime to have the privilege of talking to a therapist, so I prefer to search for a support group online.

Best of luck to you too and I wish you well in your daily life ❤️
