My best friend just told me how much she loves and supports me.. She has been always a special person in my life... And, she is super supportive.. I can't explain how amazing she is.. During my initial depressive days, I totally stopped talking to others and completely isolated myself.. I didn’t wanna talk to anyone and I was lonely.. I didn’t even wanna go to my College cause I hated everything... But,she always stayed by my side.. Even when I tried to avoid her, she just didn’t leave me alone.. She would be always there for me.. She has been my support system and she was the reason I used to go to college... I just love her.. When she told me that, I felt how loved and blessed I am.. I am just so grateful to have her in my life... She is the best ever ❤️... #Depression #MentalHealth #Anxiety #CheckInWithMe #MightyTogether #Gratitude

When I first became ill 18 years ago, no one turned toward me. Everyone left me. During that time, it felt like everyone else was achieving their dreams and aspirations while I was left behind.
I have spent many dark days wondering: is it possible to be this alone, cast adrift in time, where no one knows how the day arrives or even why? Is it possible that in this vast universe, no one can hear me? Is it possible that no one can lend a hand?
The hours, minutes, and seconds were so heavy. Outside, the world kept moving; people were happy, fulfilling their wishes. After the death of my only sister, I became even more solitary and broken. No one paid attention.
I was forgotten and cast aside a long time ago, but I have realized I need no one. I will continue and I will win on my own. I will move forward alone, just as I have felt from the very first day. God waits but does not neglect. My day will come, my destination will arrive, and I will finally find my rest.

Drowning in my daughter's Lupus pain after losing my wife to brutal cancer.I am deeply depressed and exhausted from carrying this mountain alone.

My wife’s cancer took everything, and now Lupus is hurting my daughter. I’m failing at work because I’m breaking inside. I am so lonely and just need a virtual hug or someone to care. Please.

I'm new here!

I’m Mita, and I hold a PhD in Psychology from India. I am very happy to be here.I am here because I am very passionate about mental well-being, especially in the context of how our lives are becoming increasingly digital, to connect with others who believe in the importance of having open conversations about our mental well-being without fear of judgment. This means being able to talk about anxiety, burnout, overthinking, loneliness, and the invisible pressure of “always being online.”I am here because I am also concerned about how silently many of our youth are struggling with things like comparing themselves online, not sleeping because of online habits, and feeling disconnected despite being constantly connected.I believe we need more compassionate conversations about our mental well-being.I hope to contribute to this conversation and also learn from others. I would love to share my knowledge in simple language and also learn from your stories.

Hi, my name is WildRose18. I am 18 years old and am suffering with a array of symptoms and issues. From knee surgery’s, to chronic pain, to medications galore, I’m really looking for some other people who are suffering from Nerve pain, AMPS, Anxiety, and more. It’s lonely, being so young and struggling with so much. while dealing with my health I’m a full time college student and work full time as a special needs aide as well. I’m looking for some friends to confine in that understand me to another level. Have a great day!

LOVE IS

What You Want It to Be

THROUGH THE YEARS

AND TESTS OF TIME

THE BELLS CHIME

N THE REALISTS RHYME

OUR STRUGGLES

THWART OUR FROZEN DREAMS

IN YOUR OR MY OWN REALMS

OF LOVED AND LOVELESS

LONELY NIGHTS AND WILD

THE WISDOM OF CHILDS

WHEN RAIN AND PAIN

AND IRISH REIGN

AND POETS ARE PROPHETS

AND LOVELORN ARE FOUND

AND YOU FALL UPON THE MOSS STREWN GROUND

AND YOU PONDER THE LOST IT'S

AND CHERISH THE DAY

WHEN THE STATUS QUO IS OK

AND THERE'S REALLY PEACE INSTEAD OF WAR NOT JUST IN YOUR HEAD

IF YOU REMEMBER YOUR YIN YANG WAY

AND WHAT THE TEACHERS SAY

YOU MIGHT BE FINE

AS OAK AGED WINE

Hi, my name is CynthiaZ. I'm curious about the topic of loneliness. Will it affect our mental health, or is it a kind of mental illness? I'm glad to be here.

Hi, my name is LoneAngel62. I'm here because I hide my sad, lonely feelings. I put up blockers until I start to lash out at people. I have friends who don't want to be around me anymore because I get moody, defensive and take the blame for anything even though I know I'm not the blame. I find myself crying hours everyday when I'm alone. I'm in the middle of a divorce, I have medical health issues that caused me to retire from work. I have to have surgery on my ankle and foot next month. I hate being this way.
