Alone

Hi. I am like you a lot of the time but I have to tell you. If I do not have someone to talk with then I try to keep my thoughts occupied on something away from the fact of being alone. It is very hard to do this for me especially at first when I did it but it got easier to do. It was like learning a new thing. It has to become a part of you if you want it. I am learning to deal with the alone times. I have times when I just can't take it and then I just break down and cry but after that it is good that I had the cry. It is a release of stuff needing to be let out. I come on here a lot so I can post when need be and you can check it if you like. Have a good day for yourself.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I can totally relate. All I can tell you is what helps me get through days like this:

-Get out of the house, even if it's just someplace like the local library

-Connect with people on the internet through websites like this

-Find something good to distract yourself with, keep busy, learn something new

-Keep reminding yourself that this is TEMPORARY! Because it absolutely can be. Somewhere out there in the world are some wonderful people who can care for you and value you as a person. You just have to get out there and look for them and give them a chance to get to know you. More importantly, give yourself a chance. Believe in yourself and believe in a better future for yourself. I know that can be so, so, so hard to do sometimes, and yes there are a lot of awful, selfish people out there, too, but what's the alternative? I'm not ready to give up and it doesn't sound like you are, either.

Also, having a pet helps a LOT!

I hope you feel better soon.
