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?

Nowadays, because of working parents, children are not able to spend so much time with them which is leading to depression and many other mental health issues. Its not hte parents faults too as they want whats best for their child too, but ya this is a major reason for loneliness. Even in future, some kids don't talk to anyone then just because they start expecting the same from everyone and until people realise...sometimes its too late :(
Hi. I was depressed about a month ago and now I am again.
Here´s why:
1. I have been focused on my future way too much. I think about my crush all the time as well. I worry that I won't be happy in the future, that I won't have even close to what I want. I will be alone and sad. No guy will ever like me for who I truly am. It just scares me.
2. Sometimes I am just sad and I don't know why.
- Example: I told my mom I loved her earlier today and she asked me if I was ok. I told her I just don't tell her often enough and then started balling out of now where. Two minutes later I was just fine.
Situation 1 is mostly to blame! I am only a teenager but I can get really worked about the future when I worry and think about it a lot. But the thing is I can't stop thinking about it for very long.
Another problem (I don't know if this has to do with it) is it is currently midnight and I haven't been able to sleep. I've been thinking about a lot of random stuff and have tried listening to rain which usually helps but not this time. I had a really hard time getting up as well.
I don't know... I'm just tired of overthinking and being sad and whatever else I'm feeling.
@Kiwi749- Growing up nowadays seems even harder for you as a teenager. I honestly dont recall being pressured like your generation. So it is no wonder that you contemplate the future so much. Your message about telling your mother how much you loved her was very touching. I hope you are able to discuss your sadness and worries with her. Many of us humans are hardwired to overthink and worry. Getting involved in a physical activity to get distracted often helps. I have also found that journaling is a useful tool. Perhaps at nighttime when your brain is on overdrive may help. Take care.
