Year help: Insomnia, depression, and loneliness…a dreadful concoction of misery if there ever was such a thing.

Insomnia, depression, and loneliness…

a dreadful concoction of misery if there ever was such a thing. For years now, (granted, I’m only 20), I’ve been fighting depression with my psychologists, medications, and everything else you can name. However, while that may be somewhat effective I have found that come night I realize how alone I am. I literally have no one to call at home nor when I am at college and knowing this, and finding it excessively hard to find people who want to feel a connection with me, I am usually in an eternal state of sadness, accompanied with spasms that are a product of my mind and feelings of gloom and despair including tears on the worst nights. How have others dealt with feelings of loneliness and of feeling that no one cares nor wishes to care? I have come to cement in my mind that in general people do not wish to approach those with issues and instead prefer to hang out or chat with “cool” and “suave” individuals who always show a mask of being forever happy and filled with superior self esteem…and are fun, witty, and usually attractive (whatever our society determines that to be).

Am I wrong in my thinking? What experiences of extreme lonely feelings do people have? Does anyone else feel completely alone and unwanted even in a room filled with people, many who you might “know” for months if not years?

I know exactly what you mean… I feel exactly like that, all the time. Just tonight, I was in the living room and my brother’s phone buzzed… new message. I found myself thinking about how I never or rarely get text messages, and the stupid jokes my old acquaintance from high school don’t count.

I was really happy until I was about 11, then something strange happened and now every day is generally something to get through.

But I’ll stop, before you feel like you’ve been thrown into the psychologist role.

life gets better.
i had that.
i had insomnia from the age of 9-14
i dont know really what to say, but enjoy life. even the stupid little immature things just laugh at them.
i rekon you should try some drama group classes, you get to act as someone else and loose your real life responsibilities. i think thats what helped me. you loose a lot of worries and forget other things. and can portray someone elses life.

anyway thats all i have to say.

i know exactly what you are taking about.
i am 20 as well and suffered severely through high school.
now in college i find it harder and harder to stay positive and remember all that i learned about myself and my condition.
i know that i have friends, and i know that people love me, yet sometimes i find myself feeling completely, bitterly alone.
i actually found your post because i googled “depression loneliness insomnia”.
it is exactly what i am suffering from right now.
i hope you’re doing better.
if you need anything, even just understanding- email.

I found myself using public access to type this. I can relate to everything that is posted. From the loneliness to remember he high points in my life. When did this all start? I resent myself for the mask I wear. It is harder and harder for. I do not like the person I look at in he mirror. My energy does not attract the things or people I want. Heck….I do not even know what I want anymore!
Life for me at 34 was not planned to be this way….I have become everything I hate.
Thank you for letting me get this out. Serious loneliness is a public place. We live in a society in which we can not commiucate anymore. The person sitting right next to me does not even know….What is wrong with our world….What is wrong with me? Drama classes that is a good idea….Thanks!
