Sudden loneliness

KupkakeIn8or January 5th, 2023

Let me start by saying that I'm not normally a very emotional person, I haven't struggled particularly with mental health in my life so far (I'm only 16 so we shall see); obviously I've had ups and downs but I've managed to keep a level of composure, whether it's a facade or not, it has been comforting in that I don't get as easily affected as others while keeping my empathy whole.


However the past few months have been getting worse and worse, I wouldn't say I have depression as I find a lot of the time I am happy, but I have been feeling a deep sense of loneliness and isolation.

Sometimes it can come randomly but most of the time it comes at night, sometimes when I'm alone but I'm normally fine with friends and family.

The feeling Is somewhat difficult to describe, most of the time it's just a deep feeling of isolated, bring thoughts that I'm lonley and have no real friends, that I can't reach out to anyone, that I lack any real connection, but sometimes it can be so much worse. Sometimes I'm kept awake at night, shivering or crying to the the same feelings added with dread that my life is practically already over, that I'm destined to be alone unless I do something now, which considering it took a lot of self will just to post this you can understand how speaking to family who aren't the friendliest may sound.


This is all amplified by the fact I don't actually think I can talk to anybody but you (whoever is reading). My family is complicated at best, my mother is the loveliest most caring woman I know, and my father can also be great but he struggles with anger issues, he's spontaneous, ready to explode: and can get violent quickly, relying on alcahol to remain calm(not to great effect). My friends are also great, some of the smartest, kindest and most selfless people I know. Yet they've openly admitted when we started talking about other stuff that they don't know how to talk about emotions: they feel uncomfortable when doing so and simply lack the knowledge. I don't want to risk making things akward or it proving to be useless.


I feel like I'm condemmed , like the loneliness I feel is a pit that I saw too late and now it's getting deeper and deeper, and that I want to shout for help but I don't have a voice. I can see the ladder but can't touch it for reasons I've accepted. These feelings are frustrating and draining and as I said I've felt nothing like it before. I'd appreciate any advice or anything. Thanks for listening, sorry for taking up your time.

These emotions so deep and I am right there with you

You see the most of us that do suffer from depression

Are all hear to listen to each other

Although it us tough to admit it on the subject of who we are

The real connection is not there because we make it so

I am happy as long as you are

These feelings run deeply although we are not alone there is that elephant in the room but it is a nice elephant & space

Matters

I'm okay That family is like a friend sometimes but I will not forget my family because only they know of my darkest moments

You see it's like a war among the stars and you get to play

Director

Sometimes I don't know where I come from and I'm okay with that because I know how to play it , you are all playing along

Sometimes out of the air my family finds me talking to myself I wonder if I have gotten back you all now that we crossed that bridge.

Family is the most understanding group of people and they live here is some ways this large web

They are caring and they do not give up, well they might just be there in the end but I don't want anyone else but you all

We can just sit around and visualize the sound of what loneliness might be is it loud or cab it whisper in part I am an owner of this paradise of what loneliness can be I can wait.

The least favorite thing right now is whether or not you decided on what is cheap because you are not and we voted or am I just kidding though

Thanks to all

By coming here you have already started on a road to healing. It is really rough but sharing it with others helps.

I know that when I first realized that I had depression that I was shocked because I hadn't felt anything like this before.

But as I learned more things became easier. You can do this and we are here to support you. @KupkakeIn8or
