I've been feeling very down lately. I've started to notice that once again, I'm alone. I don't have many friends and those who claimed that they were my friends have suddenly stopped talking to me. I feel hurt and betrayed and I just really need a hug from someone. Does anyone have any hugs left?

Hi, I have a problem. I know I do, but that doesn't change anything. Recently I've started to feel the urge to self harm again, and I even relapsed. My mum tends to look at all the scars on my thighs and see how they're healing (they're several months old), but just as of last week or so I started making minor little cuts on my ankle and the sides of my forearms. Does anyone know what helps when you feel these urges? Nothing has helped me so far; not distracting myself with happy things, not talking about it, not "picturing someplace relaxing", any of that.

Please help....

What do you do when the people you care about leave you willingly?

For the first time in a long time, I've actually started making progress with identifying my feelings and addressing them before they blow up on me/I start to spiral. I can cry without hating myself (which made me laugh and then stop crying, what a roller coaster).It's just a small step, but it's in the right direction, and I already feel an immense amount of love and appreciation for those who have helped, especially for all the listeners with whom I've talked. I see a lot of struggle here and I just want to give everyone a hug and let them know that it's possible to break out of the cycle. *hugs*

Hi, for about 3 years now, I have been depressed, I have social anxietyand like too keep to myself, being around people is not my thing. I've learned to accept my depression, I've learned to accept how this world is. But sometimes I really wish there was more to life than accepting how things are. Recently I started to have this feelings about this celebrity, a girl I have never met or spoke to, I dont know if you could really call it "love" but I just cant stop thinking about her, her smile, the way she talks, the way she is. I even have dreams about her.. I've never felt this way about a girl before, and it makes me feel empty, like something is missing. I know that I will never meet this girl, and that thought hurts like hell. Its like a nightmare that never ends..

Could really use a hug..

My fiancalled me a worthless train wreck I accidentally backed the car out of the drive way and scraped his car... I feel like a train wreck my life has been nothing but pain ... Maybe this place is Hell for women

Hugs!!!!!!!

Hey hope everyone has a great night/day and life gets better even if you're going through an arguement or rough patch in anything right now. I feel you bruh. Anyways I wNted to give you free hugs. If it wasn't creepy, dangerous and weird I would do it in person but no.

I hate feeling like I hate everyone and everything. Really I don't but utterly contemptful!... Maybe you all can restore my faith in humanity, so hug me!
