Have you got a counsellor?

I know how hard it is to quit and the weirdest things can bring on the urge.Loneliness can definitely do it.Do you have anyone to talk to at all?

I just asked because I never thought itd help but… I think it is helping, Ive just started and I havent feeling as bad recently.

I went through my doctors, I was diagnosed with depression and they found me someone. You could always just try getting out there and making new friends but some people obviously find that harder than others so its a bit of a useless suggestion lol

sometimes i feel lonely, and then i think of all the other people out there in the world who feel lonely too, and it makes me feel a bit less lonely

i’ve been feeling really lonely too lately but it doesn’t last forever, just think of all the times you just wish people would leave ya alone! hehe

well i hope it helps. it’s not a nice feeling being lonely i know, but there are some benefits. it helps you appreciate your relationships with people when you have them. it helps put things in perspective. at the very least, it gives you a chance to catch up on reading or watch all those movies you always meant to watch.

just remember that you are not alone because you are a bad person or nobody likes you. it’s just a stage, and everyone in the whole world goes through it too (even paris hilton and hugh hefner).

I’m sorry you are/were thinking of hurting yourself! I can’t say i’ve done that in a long time (i tried it once and it didn’t help the way i felt). So i don’t quite get it, but if it helps i hope you don’t! I’m almost 100 per cent sure it won’t do anything to change the lonliness thing

Aww. It kinda makes sense, I guess, to take your anger out on something else. I snapped my phone in half once after my boyfriend called me, “arrrghhh”– it’s all the phone’s fault, crack it in half!! And we all know how impossible it is to think logically when really upset!!

I think if you let yourself get really angry and punch something, the only thing you can do after that is not be annoyed at yourself for doing that? I mean, you’re already upset, you did something silly, don’t feel MORE guilty and make the pain worse by feeling bad about your resulting actions. if that makes sense.
