What I have found about feeling alone is it's usually not true. There's always someone who understands the way you feel. Finding one is the hard part. Finding the strength to speak to them about how are you really feel is even tougher. Trusting someone enough to share these feelings with is the hardest of all. There is no one good answer that solves loneliness. I really wish I had a better answer for you. I've gotten used to loneliness. I know it's not healthy. At my job I'm the guy everyone comes and talks to if they have a problem because they say I'm easy to talk to and I listen and understand. I guess that's because I know what it's like to have no one and sometimes being the person who listens to someone else who needs you can be the 1st step.

So many people blame themselves when they have a mental illness or consider themselves losers. You are NOT that. You are all precious, worth more than gold. In fact you know who you are. "Normal" - (yet to find the definition of normal) people wander around clueless and chase pipe dreams. You have a mental illness. Nothing wrong with that.

I know how you feel. I have very few friends and I feel like I am losing my mind. I can't concentrate on anything and can't hold a job long enough to make anything. I was driving around a few days ago with a gun and bullets thinking I was going to end it all. I ended up calling my youngest brother for help. Now I still want to kill myself but he has the gun, so I in some ways want to come up with another plan, but not sure of any other painless way to go. I just can't seem to handle it right now. I am at a loss as to what to do. I can't go to the hospital because I have no insurance and no money. I feel so ashamed that I can't support my kids. I am such a loser.
