I find that my belief in a higher self prevents me from feeling alone. In my darkest hour I call out for help to that higher self and I can feel the presence in the room with me. It is telling me that everything is alright, not to worry. Like someone watching over me. That presence will make itself known if you call out to it. You are never alone.
If all else fails, and you are suffering from chronic depression try a light anti-depressant. Just don't get hooked on drugs. I have seen how a mild anti-depressant can really change a person's outlook on life and energy level. I don't take any myself, but I have seen it work wonders on others. Life is a treasure, enjoy every minute of it. |

When my wife and I separated a year and a half ago I was so lost and empty I wasn't sure what I was going to do next or how to do it. A lot of my lifelong friends sided with her even though she has only been friends with most of them half as long as me. Being alone allowed me to sort out many feelings and I started reaching out and opening up to different people and now have a new core of really great friends. A lot of times I did'nt wait for them to call me, I initiated the contact and now surround myself with positive and energetic people. Staying upbeat and active really kept me from hitting those low points in this very hard time in my life. If you can find someone you can trust and open up to them, talking trough these feelings for me has been a big help, I'm sure your post already has you feeling better.

Keep yourself busy & take care of yourself!
When I am feeling hopeless I usually go do yoga or some meditation! My animals, working out/yoga regularly, sleeping & eating well, and the newly discovered "Energy Therapy" has helped tremendously with regaining emotional balance in my life. I was feeling pretty anxious and unfocused earlier, but after riding my pony I feel much more relaxed! I have to stay focused when training him because if my mind wanders his does too & then we end up looking like a drunk circus act gone awry! |

hooray for suicidal thoughts.
:D I thought the point of life was to be happy. I thought I knew how to make that happen. but ****. that didn't work. I don't know what the **** to do. or if there was something to do, why I should even bother doing it. it all seems so meaningless. I'm the world's best pessimist. and I honestly don't believe I'll ever be happy. bleh. |

Oh my gosh , I am so sorry that you feel alone.
I have never felt that in my life and dont know why. I never look at the bad things that happen to me, I dont like to feel sad or unhappy so I shut them out and think of things that I like, If I see something that makes me unhappy i read something that makes me happy. Everything around me is bright and happy, my walls my roof everything, I have fairys and flowers everywhere ( hmmm I am not suggesting that you put flowers on your wall. But if I get upset I go an play something fun, I might dance to the wii or just be dumb, It always makes me feel better, I guess just dont focus on the yuck as it will never go away , Well really i dont know how to stay happy It just seems to happen, but if you ever want someone to talk to just message me, I wont be to far away from here, without I am sleeping. and I always love new friends. So dont feel alone message |

OK,,,lets see,,,how do I deal with feeling alone..being alone,,and that snake that tries to sneak up the back of my neck saying,,YOUR ALWAYS BE ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!
My job takes me down a highway everyday,,,by myself..and I have NO interpersonal conversations with anyone live,,some by phone,yes. I live,, in a 6ft by 6ft box on wheels called a semi.. I drive a truck for my living,,and it carries much stress daily. First let me say that HAVE YOU EVER REALLY OPENED YOUR HEART TO SOMEONE LESS FORTUNATE AS YOU,say,,a blind person,,a women with no breasts left on her chest,,a man in a wheel chair for life.. THESE,,,,are what fuels my mind to KNOW,,,I AM NOT,,THAT BAD! Because I am whole,,I have eyes,,that see.. I can still WORK, and make my own living..... IF you can SEE outside YOUR BOX, then YOU can KNOW AS I DO,, I may be alone,,I may be down right now,,sure,,here I am alone at every faking thing I DO man,,, BUT,,,PEOPLE,,,REALLY,,,THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR """""NOT""" And feed all your emotions into believing THAT,,KNOWING THAT, and LIVING KNOWING YOU HAVE SUCH A GREATER CHANCE AT LIVING WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN FIND YOU TO BE A KEEPER,,ONE DAY AHEAD. Now I know this is just a thought to have,,, NO-------------ITS A FREAKING LIFE TO LIVE AND FEEL GREAT ABOUT WHO YOU STAND TALL BEING,,,A PERSON WHO CAN WALK AND TALK AND BE FUNNY BE ROMANTIC BE ANYTHING THEY WANT TO BE,,,because YOU BELIEVE IN "YOU",,,,,and you don't just t,h,i,n,k,,,,,, YOU FKING KNOW YOU,,,,and YOU LOVE YOU,,because of all the PERSON YOU HOLD INSIDE IS WANTING TO LET IT OUT,,TO EVERYONE YOU MEET. I've seen a 14 year old boy die by his own hand and gun,,WHY? Because his girlfriend dumped him,,,He even told her he was going to kill himself IF she didn't take him back,,well,,whoopee,,so many say that ,,,who does it,,,HE DID! The REAL REASON WHY HE DID IT,,,BECAUSE HE DIDN'T BELIEVE IN HIMSELF OR WHO HE WAS OR COULD BE...SO POP,,,dead,,,leaving that girl fked up for her life and all who loved him,,, WE AS A WHOLE,,,US,,,ALL OF THE ONES HER READING THIS RIGHT NOW OR FIFTY FREAKIN YEARS FROM NOW,,WE'RE NOT ALL HAPPY PEOPLE ALL THE TIME,,,we run down,,get depressed, lose hopes,,dreams,,relationships,,BUT WE GO ON,,WHY? BECAUSE WE JUST KNOW WE CAN SURVIVE ALL THAT LIFE THROWS AT US, Someone inside you right now is SCREAMING AND CHEERING HOORAY,I AM SOMEONE,,, But YOUR MIND is missing all this and thinking yea yea yea heard this **** before,,all my life ITS HOW YOU THINK<<BULL **** I FEEL LIKE ****<-----thats where your at man...right there at the end of that arrow lays a guy who wants to live in self pity MORE than he wants to or feels he can,,CLIMB ABOVE AND OUT OF HIS BOX..... DEATH is a WEAK and cheap out for anyone to ever think or feel as it leaves behind NOTHING of the person you LIVE AS,,, Just broken hearts and sadness to all left here... I've SEEN MIRACLES HERE IN MY VIEW,,as a little girl was told she was going to die,,she was five,,,and her parents cried,she cried all were w/o hope,,,BUT,,,she was SAVED,,,IT, her cancer,,disappeared SHE LIVED AND STILL IS ALIVE AND FREE AND MARRIED WITH HER OWN DAUGHTER NOW THREE YEARS OLD... HOW,,,why,,,SHE PRAYED AND BELIEVED THAT GOD WAS GOING TO SAVE HER, HE DID,,,,,,,,, WILL THAT HAPPEN FOR EVERYONE "NO",,But t did for that little girl. The POWER OF OUR MINDS WHICH WE WERE BORN WITH IS A INCREDIBLE DEVICE OR TOOL IF YA WILL,,,,IN IT, WE CAN BECOME,,,WE CAN LEARN. WE CAN MAKE OUR SELVES SLOW OUR HEART-RATES, RAISE OUR BLOOD PREASURE... AND MOST IMPORTANTLY HERE NOW,,,WE CAN OVER-COME **** IN OUR LIVES. IF WE CAN MAKE OUR MIND BELIEVE IN IT,,WE CAN NEVER BE DOWN,,BECAUSE WE KNOW,,WE ALWAYS GET UP...WE HAVE CONTROL OF WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE THINK ABOUT AND OR WASH OUT OF OUR THOUGHTS AS SOON AS IT STARTS TO SLIP IN,,just say to yourself,,,,NO,,,,get that damn thought out of my mind,,,I AM NOT WEAK!!!,,,THATS,,how you become better at being alone,,,,,because you see,,I KNOW,,,GOD is always with me,,and for that I am always BLESSED,,,BUT,,,I WASN'T ALWAYS WITH GOD IN ME. And THEN,,,I believed in THIS BODY AND MIND,,to KNOW,,,I TAKE CARE OF IT,,,NOT,,,IT LETS ME DOWN.... I don't let my mind take my thoughts ANYWHERE,,I don't let IT TAKE ME TO.... Your never feel your OK,,,until YOU MAKE YOURSELF "KNOW" IT IS! Then NOTHING is impossible to do or be,,well,,YOUR never be a Super Hero and fly,,,BUT,,,short of that YOU CAN BECOME FREE OF WEAK THOUGHTS AND DEPRESSED THOUGHTS,,IF YOU MAKE YOUR MIND KNOW ,,,WHO'S IN CHARGE OF "HOW" IT SEE'S AND THINKS,AND TALKS TO US Good luck,,and you may think I'm out there as just another nut case, but THATS NOT YOU THINKING THAT,,, Peace,Love and Be Real |

We reach a point in our lives when what we have is not enough. We spend our youth trying to be successful, and when we reach the mountain top of success, we are amazed at how empty it is up there. And so, we feel alone.
I'm not sure if this is your issue. If it is, let me know, and I'll continue. |

sometimes i feel like all hope is gone.. but when i look at somethings i feel that am very lucky to be living... once there is life there is hope..

Awww, sorry to hear you feel like that. I get like that myself, sometimes. I figured that the more men break my heart over time, the worse i feel. As i never feel this down if it was anything other than that. At least finally, i feel more understood, reading that others feel the same. Time is a great healer, it's all very well telling us that, but we sure don't see it. I think people need to understand a bit more. Even just an ounce of hope about something is better than nothing. Yeah?

I like to think I've accomplished quite a bit and really turned my life around for the better, but it never seems good enough. I can't help but feel like I'm still failing, and I really don't know why. Because of this I'm constantly asking myself why I even bother trying, and it's like I have this little voice in the back of my head telling me that misery is all I'll ever know... Happiness is something I don't deserve. My phone never rings, people who claim to be my friends never seem to be there when I need them most. Has anyone else ever felt like this? How do you deal with it? How do you wake up every day and deal with the feeling of being completely alone? How do you tell yourself it will get better? How do you make it better? How do you keep the will to live when you sometimes wonder if you're even supposed to? I've come here because at this point I feel like I don't have anyone in my life I can talk to about this... I've posted on this board in the past and there are people here who honestly seem to care about others... I'm hoping this time is no different. I think we have all felt like this at one time or another. I never get a call from my so called friends unless its about a party. Best thing I ever did was join some local groups, met some new people, and learned new things. I am still alone but I keep myself occupied so never really feel alone. |

pets help!!!! at least they do for me, if it wasn't for my 2 dogs i am sure i would be in the ground by now. divorce, lost job, bills pilling up, creditors calling, etc. they're not called man's best friend for nothing. they help me a lot even though i sometimes don't realize it.

Yes, and I feel it slipping away more and more right now.

Hate to bring this up but maybe you are clinically depressed and medication may help you. I am bipolar and feel like you 24/7. In fact I have come to a conclusion I will spend the rest of my life alone and I am trying to learn how to cope with it. Meds never helped me, but they could help you.
Good luck to you. |

You are the captain of your ship. You run it, no one else. People can help you along the way, but you man the controls. Each day is new, different and in your hands. It starts when you awaken. It follows where you lead. I have never felt hopeless. Because it would mean I had no say in my own life..that somehow it is predetermined. The good and the bad. EVERYone has both. Everyone has the potential to change what they do not like. Aloneness, surroundings, friends, jobs, all can be re-routed. You need only to want to, bad enough. The strangers you meet in here can become friends. They do care. Sometimes it is easier to emote with a stranger than someone closer. Identifying your issues is a first step. The things you can speak of, tend to fester less. Of course it will get better. It is in your hands. Couldn't have said it better myself.. |

you are falling into the plans of the nwo.they want you to feel powerless and helpless.you have bills nobody had before.they took away all the good jobs.they constantly bombard you with false messages.know wonder we feel the way we do today.your bills will keep skyrocketing.in the late 80s we had free tv or hbo $10 a month no cell phone bills or internet.gas was 1.30 or less a gallon and half as many red lights.no infomericals or very few.no popups. the fertilizer was 15-30-15 not 24-8-16.there were no so called terrorists.we only recycled aluminum cans.so things are alot different now.we can all be dependent on the government and now get free birth control to keep us in check. lol
