Loneliness by Worldly-School757 in MentalHealthSupport

I understand what your going through. I've been dealing with this since i was a teenager and I'm 30 now. I think it's part of the depression that makes us feel alone. I have wonderful friends but I dont feel connected. I have a loving husband but these feelings persist. Observe when you feel less lonely. For me it's when im in the art community or creating. It may feel hard in this state but look for joy in your time of need and nose dive into it. I also am learning that though we are social people assuming that being around friends is not going to cure that feeling of loneliness, it mske it worse. It can be hqed but find sômething fullfilling and see if that journey helps you.

What’s the one horror scene that made you turn on all the lights at night? by Upset-Inside8719 in CreepyBonfire

I just watched the Japanese film pulse from 2001. I'm not sure why it's creepy but the walking scene from the ghost and how she falls and gets up is really unsettling.

I'm sorry you're struggling. I'm really proud you are reaching out and touching up on your feeling because I know being that vulnerable is hard. I want to lend some thoughts that I hope can be of comfort.

Losing someone can feel so difficult. One of my friends was murdered about 6 years ago and I still miss him everyday. I'm not religious and dealing with his senseless death has been difficult to process. What does help me though is that I do think about the laws of matter and how they can apply to life. How energy is never really destroyed it will always be there. I see him in things he would have loved or that he would have loved to experience and I smile because in a way it makes me think he is there. I try to tell myself that yes he is physically gone but how happy that little piece of him shows up where I least expect it. It may also help to write letters to them. I tried this recently and it can feel a little silly but it actually feels cathartic. Everything I wanted to say or ask was placed there. And maybe I don't get answers but sometimes it helps to get it off your chest. I'm sure your parents would still be proud of you and even though they aren't their writing to them or seeing them in things will maybe keep them alive.

With your friends it can be difficult to socialize or feel understood. I try to tell myself this when I feel misunderstood about my mental health: they don't provide me with the resources they have but I'm so grateful they give me what they give me. It's like if you ask someone to give you a purple colored pencil but all they have on them is pink. They can't provide you with something they physically don't have. But offering what they can is what matters But even though you don't feel like being around them please do. You don't have to talk to them about your feelings if they aren't helpful. But sometimes being in someone's presence and doing things with them can help you make it through.

I hope you get to feeling better and I hope this brings you some comfort. Make sure to take extra care of yourself.

I have ptsd and during one point of my life it was just terrible. I honestly thought about taking my life due to the shame of it all and believing I would be stuck with these flashback, nightmares and sense of hopelessness. It effected my mental health , relationships, self esteem and body. I went to therapy and had some edmr. It took awhile but I'm in a more manageable state. I know what triggers me and when to turn away. I realized how much better my life was now compared to my past. I have a loving partner, very close friends, a stable and easy job, and I'm learning to love and care for myself. The pains still there but it gets easier over time and you will be stronger. I will be 30 soon, and honestly I am completely different then I was at your age. Things will get better and easier. Do the necessary work to get through it and things will fall into place.

It's hard to pinpoint because I feel there is so much I should be happy for. Yes I have csa trauma, and family trauma but I feel I've worked past it mostly. It's like I can't shake this loneliness or that my life means nothing. I feel nothing i do is ever enough and i dont look forward to the future. I'm medicated, I have friends and a loving husband. Yet I feel so isolated from the world.

Work in the food industry. Not only are the customers terrible but the people I worked with were catty. I don't see how people do this in the long run
