I am so lonely and suffering
i am struggling really badly with loneliness and sadness because i have no strong friendships and i desperately want to make friends and find a girlfriend but i have been trying for months and its not working. i am afriad of how long im going to be alone for and i dont know what to do. i am not close with my family at all to talk about this stuff and im experiencing so many emotions and intrusive thoughts. i really wish i had people to socialize with on a daily basis and im scared for any possibe chance i might become depressed because i was depressed recently but i recovered through therapy, however my insane isolation is consistently making me sad now and i just have so many fears and negative feelings about all this. i dont know what to do, i just REALLY want a support system
@Ineedfriends0821
i totally get where you're coming from. i've been in that same lonely place where u just want connection so badly, and no matter how much u try, it feels like nothing clicks. so exhausting and scary, especially when you’re scared of slipping back into depression.
personally, building a routine, journaling, and finding online spaces where I felt heard helped me sm. won't doesn’t fix everything overnight, but it will remind u that you’re not alone, and things can change :) u deserve real connection, and i believe it’ll come.
(@ipoopcats - HOW DID YOU DO THAT?? Even before my thoughts formed … you spelled it out perfectly—like perfectly!)
HEY … @Ineedfriends0821 … listen to what @ipoopcats says. I’ll also reflect what you stated: “i just REALLY want a support system”
You have one … here at 7Cups!
Please think on this … and I’ll check in later.
