Ridiculously Sad

It’s been a rough week. I don’t know where to turn. There’s only so much the net can do for me, I want a real live person sitting here next to me. I’ve asked for company and it was kindly offered by my flat mate, but there’s too many other people around. I’m freaked out by social situtations and it would only make me feel worse.
There are lots of other people I can ask, but I’m just not ready for them to see this side of me yet.
I only have to make it to 10pm when David comes back online. Where do you go for company, if you feel like you don’t have any friends? Anyone I would usually ask 400 miles away… So…
All the time I’m alone I’m either crying or holding the tears back. I wouldn’t even call this depression. Just overwhelming sadness. I guess I’ll just go for a walk. I wish I didn’t post so often.

The people I trusted did not show their real faces, so I gave up.

gah, i’m sorry.
i know what it’s like to feel that loneliness.
and unfortunately, i don’t know how to cure it.
i used to throw myself into my online relationships - b/c i didn’t know anyone in real life.
but that gets you all tangled up.
and it’s way to hard to show how you’re really feeling to those in close proximity to you.
so all i can say.
is that you WILL pull through.
and you WILL find someone.
and this night will not control you.
be strong.

Thanks, I’m feeling quite a bit better now. Been keeping myself busy since then and on that night, Thursday, I phoned something called nightlink… First time I’ve ever called something like that - it was quite an experience! But it was a good distraction and release for half an hour.
