Loneliness on 7Cups
Hello guys 
I have been on 7Cups for a little while and I have to say that, in some occasions, it has been helpful...in some others, it has been actually very frustrating.
I got here, as I believe many of you, searching for support, friendship, or, most likely, just someone to talk to. I live a very lonely life, in a desperately isolated place (an island with few hundreds inhabitants), and, unfortunately, I have several psychologic problems (or psychiatric?...who knows...) that developed after a not easy life. The last 3 years, especially, have just been a daily torture, a sequence of bad events that corroded me little by little. As I just wrote, I live on a little island, here we only have 2 little food stores, nothing else. Until few months ago, we didn't even have a general doctor, so, no chance to find any kind of help from professionals in the psychiatric/psychologic field. Once reached the bottom of my sorrow and despair, and having nobody that could help me, I found 7Cups.
I talked to some listeners, wrote here and there...and figured out so many times it feels like talking to myself...I wasn't able to build any stable "talking friendship", which is what I actually need. I feel like a throw stones to the void...just write sentences that maybe noone will ever read, and for sure, that noone will answer to.
I am pretty sure I am not the only one feeling like this here... I don't want this to sound like a complaint, 7Cups is anyway good, but I wish I could find someone who wants to just keep talking to me, and that wants to be listened.
Is my hope in vain? 
I'm feeling terrible. I can't bring myself to do anything. I'll never change. I have no one and feels like it's getting worse .. going nowhere...

Hey. I can understand where you are coming from. I am sad, mad, depressed, lonely, and seems like there is no end or hope in site. Meds that used to work, now, unless I take 2, not working. At least before I took it, and for few hrs at least felt good about myself. Not so now. If not for my mom taking care of my 5 year old, I would not even know how to exiatt,how to go on. Ok, well sorry for long Rand. I just felt I wanted to reply to your post. Have a great weekend.
Im feeling lonely right now. Just went through a breakdown. Its really late right now and the only person here is my dad but hes asleep. I keep having really bad memories that are making me upset. I really want them to just go away but they wont. I want to talk to someone about them but because its late, Ive just created a senario in my head. Its just me and my doctor talking about my memories. Even though its in my head it still goes wrong. I just want to confirm that Im not going insane. I just want to be with someone right now.
I live in an overpopulated country and yet feel the same. Been on here since 2014 and I still feel like talking to myself in a crowded room.
@barath1999 sometimes we can feel our most loneliness when in a crowded room... like no one else knows how we feel ... keep positive ... keep being kind to yourself and there are listeners who will listen .. message me if you would like ... we are in this together
@lovelypomelo Thank you so much. Yes I feel lonely and I've lost all reasons to love myself. I feel worthless
I have severe loneliness
@MeMyselfAndHer I'm struggling the same way as you do. I'm Italian and I live in a small, little town where there's so little to do. I think I started feeling this way a couple of years ago. I don't know if it's depression, I haven't talked to a therapist for that matter, but I'm struggling so much to deal with it. Sometimes it's bearable, sometimes I feel good, some other times I think of some dark things that I scare myself for even having those thoughts. I don't know what causes it, maybe I'll find out. In the meantime though, I feel really really lonely. Yes, I have my family, but lately for some medical issues, I have this huge weight on my shoulders, like everyone is counting on me. It's really difficult. Moreover, I feel like I don't have any friends. I don't remember when was the last time I went out to "have fun" with a friend of mine. It's a lot of stuff and I don't know how to deal with it. So here I am on 7cups. Hopefully I'll find someone to talk to, if anyone wants to actually talk to me hahaha 
Anyway, I hope you all are having a great day
@anintroverted I'd love to talk, it sounds like you're going through kinda a similar situation as me.
So the Growth Path requires a post. I am on here to do the therapy thing to function in real life. I have some "traumas" that cause me problems. One of the biggest problems has to do with a woman I fell very hard for and lost my head over. I am not good with women to begin with and have a lot of personal issues and problems dealing with emotions. This caused me to become overwhelmed, affraid, and a whole mess of things I do not understand that led to the loss of someone I cared for more than anything. Post made.
I been lonely since I can remember
Lonely, I can relate. I had two friends. One left a year ago to Spain, and the other is leaving soon to the USA. not sure what to do. Isolation can be good for selfreflection, but to literally have no one to talk to in a world of close to eight billion people is a curious thing. I am getting to understand that it is a me thing; I'm broken--eight billion against one means there is obviously something wrong with me, not the world.I just need to figure out what it is before it is too late.
I dont know for sure but I feel like I have pure O (I'm not trying to offend anyone). It's just that I had those weird impulses that were triggered from something I saw or thought and they've been happening since I was 7. It's getting worse now and I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't even trust myself anymore; even more so I fear of what I'll do.
I try to tell my parents about it but my mom just says meds are gonna mess me up even more. I'm thinking of going to a psychiatrist that's new here in the neighbourhood without telling my parents because I need answers. What bothers me even more is I told my sister about this and now she thinks I'm a freak or something.
Also most of my triggers are caused by heights. I have to tell everyone I have height phobia to hide the fact that I'll jump over the edge any moment
English isn't my first language so please disregard anything I said wrong
I have depression, anxiety, family issues and I self-harm. I guess I'm here cos I just need some help, But I'm quite stubborn soooo idk how this will go but I'll give it a try.

Hey Kindpear!
I don't know if I can offer help but I want to try, cause this is a place meant for healing. You'll get through this no matter how dark it feels <3
@kindPear7805All we can do is offer our ears. We are all at different stages of depression and anxiety. I am here if you just want to talk to someone. I don't know if I give good advice, but I can listen really well.
Hi kindPear7805, congratulations on being here. You are not alone.
@kindPear7805 if you need help with self harm you can just text me, we can talk in private and discuss about it
@kindPear7805 One thing I am not going to do -offer you some glib home spun advice when I know nothing about your personal circumstances. However, I suggest, (if you can) that you acknowledge you aren't being depressed on purpose. Without trying to cheer you up I will say that 1)depression 2) guilt 3) shame 4 (any number of personal horrors.....only compound the difficulties. Stick to just navigating depression. It won't make you life and soul of the party but it might (yes just might) make things a teeny weeny bit more bearable. And if I'm simply being pig ignorant, then I apologize profusely.
@kindPear7805 I appreciate the fact that you are very self aware. That is one big step to finding solutions to challenges.
@kindPear7805
if you wanna talk, pls send me a message

@kindPear7805 it's okay, listeners here are trained to have patience with stubborn people also :)
