Hi,
I feel really alone. I spent all of yesterday in my room, will do the same today. I have nobody to talk to. My boyfriend is away until tomorrow evening. Nobody texts or phones me. I just feel really left out and like I have nobody to talk to. I never tell anyone that I feel depressed sometimes, they wouldn’t understand.
I think I’ve isolated myself from my friends since I got together with my boyfriend last summer. What will I do? The only way people socialize is by going out drinking but whenever I drink I end up feeling worse.
I don’t see much of a future for myself, I keep having these bad days. I know that we are essentially alone in life but I don’t know if I can keep on going when I feel so alone. When my boyfriend’s here it’s okay but when he’s not I feel lost.
I don’t see much point in getting up so I spend most of my time in bed. Im my last semester of college and it’s exam time at the moment. I don’t know many people in college so I feel even more alone there when I see large groups of friends.I can’t really go home either, that always manages to make me more depressed. My father lives on his own and leads a lonely existence since my mother died a few years ago.
Please help me

You need to get out of the house and do something today even if it just taking a walk. ANd if all yall do is go drinking, Take the time to think while youre out.

Oh man, reading your post makes me depressed…I am not making fun of you. I am most likely a little older than you are, I have a family, bills, live on a different continent than all my friends and family…
But here it comes…
A wise man once told me this (my father-in-law): The only person responsible for your happiness in life is you. If you sit around the house and fret, you are the only one getting hurt. The rest of the world keeps spinning whether you are happy or not.
I wish for you that you make yourself happy soon….The awful truth is that it bothers nobody that you sit in your room unhappy and lonely, but yourself.
Good luck to you….Smile
well said europa
Then don’t do it alone, If your boyfriend is your only escape, then go out with him. Try to meet new people, let’s see… I want you to do something for me… Walk up to someone you think looks interesting and say hi. Be spontaneous, be outgoing. Forget all your troubles for a while and go meet new people. :) believe me, you’ll find friends if you really try. Much love for my fellow dark warrior, be happy, be healthy. LIVE YOUR LIFE!!!
Fart itll hurt but the person will leave u alon SO FART!!!!!!!!!!!
no prob hon…we’re all here to help. :)
Your emotional distress is a result of your cognitive perspective on life. Not so much a lack of events occuring or a large group of friends. People are attracted to energy and positive thoughts. Right now you seem to be in a slump emotionally. To turn things around claim your true independance by understanding you made it through college without the crutch of a bunch of other people with problems telling you what to do. It is an awesome thing you are an independant person. Use that to your advantage. Reconfigure your outlook on life by emphasizing on the benefits and positive things that although right now you cannot see, do exist. Try to find them, be a happy person.
Im a recluse but I enjoy it, really I do. I do howeer travel more than anyone I know. I only have contact with immediate family and strangers. find your nich and embrace it.

The heart of the problem here is acceptance. In my opinion. I used to feel JUST like you. Alone all the time, hopeless, and just plain sad. The thing you have to do is, learn to love yourself. I know how lame it sounds. But it’s true. My hapiness used to rely on a multitude of other people. Until one day I realized the only person I truly have in this world, is myself. And I wasn’t happy with that one person. SO I worked on him, and rebuilt him, and rebuilt my mind. Nobody is going to come to your house to meet you, sorry to say. You have to get out there and present yourself, and give yourself that chance to blossom. “No flower blooms in the dark.” And I appreciate how much you love your boyfriend, but your happiness cannot rely on him. You need to be happy with yourself. Before you can ever be truly happy. And I admit it’s not easy. But it’s very possible. Just start looking more deeply at things, and rather than think about all the shadows and darkness you see, think about the light that is there, to make those shadows. Find beauty in the simplest things. A cool breeze on a warm day, the way the trees sway in the wind. The look on a childs face when their mother play with them. Start small with your positivity, then build on it. Try your best to remember you are never truly alone in this world, and that God is on your side. And you will begin to see the true beauty that is life. ANd if you ever need someone to talk to, shout to me. My door is always open.
Kelly,
I feel alone too. I often look at other people and wonder if they are as happy as they seem. It is difficult to find meaning in life - just look at the newspaper. But I do certain things to help me cope. I have a book I love - The Purpose Driven Life by Rick Warren (What On Earth Am I Here For?). I keep it by my bed and read different chapters depending on how I feel. It has truly helped me with feeling isolated and alone. Please take a look at it. I promise it will help.
Love.
Susan
Hey.
Im quite a bit younger than you, but one of my friends got a bf rea=cently, and she stopped talking to all of us and only ever spent time with him and then he got ill….
he was off school for like a week ( not too long but…) and although we were pissed off with her, when he was away she came back and apologised for rejecting us. We all wanted to be with her again so all was forgotten. Now she spends time with us AND him. fine balance but it works. Dont wait for your friends to call you- make contact with them- they might not even know your bf is away if you have stopped talking to them…
give it a try.

Kelly, I know how you feel. I’ve been there. Actually right now I am there too, only I don’t feel so bad because I have stopped caring if people like me. I just make the effort I can and accept whatever results I get. Anyway, I assume your 19 because you go out drinking? If that is the case then it will not really be long before you go off to college and will meet a whole bunch of new people. In the mean time I suggest try and get involved in things in your community such as volunteering or a tennis club. You will not feel so bad if you get busy, and it will do you good to be out of your house in a social environment.
Hello,Kelly, I know what you mean! I have been living in my room alone for a long time! I know what it is like! I am now getting out and break the spell! You have to want to get out and find things that you like! Break the pattern and take a chance!
Learn to like yourself and the rest will come! Daniel
