Answer 2

Pooter. How sad. There are no wrong turns in this "life journey" you're mentioning. A turn is a turn and unfortunately, a U-Turn really isn't an option. So what's next? Think about what you enjoy. I know that might be a difficult task but think about what made you happy as a kid... a place, a hobby, a person. Make it your job to seek that out. Or, better yet, dive into something new. Boredom can be a big reason why people feel lonely and sad. If you are busy all the time, there isn't room to get down on yourself. I've found that the easiest way to get out of a slump is to do something that directly affects someone else. Volunteer for an hour or 2 a week. This summer I was unemployed and depressed. I had way too much time on my hands. I started volunteering for a couple of hours a week at a therapeutic horseback riding center. The children made every minute of my life worthwhile. Put a smile on a kid's face and then come back and tell me you're still lonely and sad. It's nearly impossible. Join a club. Join a team. Get out there and meet new people in any way you can. Eventually, when you've stopped thinking about it, you'll find that you aren't so lonely, afterall.

Good luck!!

what are you kidding lonliness is great sometimes I want to be left the hell alone. Make the best out of your lonliness keep busy at work by doing this you will have money and you can do all of the following , get a hobby,Go out to clubs with friends have fun rent movies go on vacation and meet interesting people play around in the internet do what you like, if you feel you are too ugly or too old to get a girl or guy, then pay for one, it will be alot cheaper than getting into an expensive relationship just make sure you wear protection. Go to Tijuana.Eventually by getting involved doing things you may run into someone you can spend some quality time with. Hope this helps

Answer 4

You did not explain much as why you are lonely or feel sad. Did you just had a nasty experience or loss somebody or even being rejected by someone? Do not blame yourself of what had happen to you. Be strong, have courage in yourself. No 1 can help you and it's only you yourself who can bring back the confidence in yourself. Your will power must be strong enuff and only then you can fight back all the feelings of emptiness and sad. What's the point of making yourself feeling down? Go out there, make new friends, or perhaps your own family members can help to bring back the sunshine in you. Look at the brighter side, have faith and never lose hope my dear friend. I may not know you but deep down in me, i sympathise with you. I ever had the same feelings like you but it's me, myself who got out of the situation and try to make myself happy with other alternatives ways i can find. So don't give up, trust yourself that you can also find your own happiness 1day.

love would not harm heartbreak and tough patches do . they the two harm. loneliness is the desire to have somebody around you . together as love hurts now and lower back that's in many cases with the wish you and that individual will stay together .....they the two harm which hurts maximum? no particular a lost love can weigh on your heart for a protracted time distinctly once you permit out that individual and the relationship you had . loneliness makes you want to fill a empty area. hard to respond to.

Answer 6

I don't know why you feeling like this because you don't go in detail. But I do know this you need to pick yourself up, brush yourself off get out and start making some friends. Because you need people around you. The way you are writing you blocked everybody out of you life. I know being lonely hurts... Been there...
With all the therapy out there only YOU can fix this...

As the old saying is "YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO PLAY HARD"

GOOD LUCK ..... IT'S ALL UP TO YOU

Answer 7

First of all, get a hobby or job. It can help you avoid your melancholy. Just try and move on without pushing yourself. People usually make wrong turns in their lives. Trust me, I'm going through that phase with my crush, Kristian. My advice is, try and move on without pushing yourself through. Take it slowly. That feeling should be gone once you don't think about it. Sorry if this doesn't work. Good luck!!

Answer 8

Hun, you should consider talking to somebody. Also, try writing in a journal or something. There are a million different things you can do to start making yourself feel better. Try affirmations in the morning when you wake up or talk to a doctor about anti-depressants. It also wouldn't hurt to look up some bible verses either. :) Praying for you.

Answer 9

Go to a third world country, then come back and see if you're worse off then. Stop wallowing in self pity.

And I've read your response and you sound pathetic. I've been depressed before and I sought help, in my faith and a psychiatrist. I didn't cry out "WOE is me, or oh I don't know what to do, wooooooooooooo!".

GET OVER IT and see a bloody Dr.

And I'm not sorry, I'm just not gonna be wishy washy about it like everyone else. There are millions of people in this world that have worst problems than you have. You're just bloody sad, how about people being abused? Child rape? People dying of poverty and hunger? You're in a first world nation and you're wallowing in pathetic pity.

NEWSFLASH, sitting on your **** and crying about it doesn't do anything either!

Answer 10

You need to talk to your doctor. I've spent my whole life battling depression and have tried ADD drugs, anxiety drugs, and anti-depressants to try to find what will help me. So don't give up.

A primary doctor can help you with finding a counselor, or prescriptions.

Right now I'm on lexapro and that is helping alot.

When you walk outside look up into the sky - sometimes I do that and it helps me keep my head up - and the sky is pretty too.

Answer 11

Everyone is lonely today, thanks to the virtual world..there are no real friends/family anymore. Ironically people dont know their neighbors, nor care to be nice to family or friends, but they try hard to search people online. Clearly, you are doing the same and so am I. Think of those who are less fortunate than you and you will feel happy. Good luck:-)
