Anyone ever get that kinda feeling where you're lonely and u feel the pain more physically then mentally? thats how i've been for at least 4-5 months now and i've been hiding pretty good til lately.

i really don't know what to do anymore. i sometimes wish i was in a coma so i didn't have to feel the pain.

Ouch, Megaman X, have you sought professional help for what ails ya??? This could be a chemical imbalance and the treatment (medicine) could be what you need to get you back to where you need to be.

Been down that road and all the meds did was make things worse

Megamanx, I am so sorry to hear that. Lonliness is so awful. It seems to really hit hard around the holidays too. I am noticing more and more posts on the xchange about feelings like yours. Are you lonely for family, friends, love or all of it? There are so many different types of loneliness that hit people. I have a good friend who has a great family but she is very lonely for someone to share her life with. I wish I could say something to make you feel better. Just remember you can post away here and vent everything.

Not sure what to say, PJ. :(
I think we ALL have, at one time or another, felt this way.

Like Imsoosure said, post away here! You will feel better if you get it off your chest. :)

{{{HUGS}}}}

I have been going through the same thing PJ.. so i know how you feel. It is getting worse for me. I feel so lonely like I have no one in this world. It can get you down I know i have been down for the past month. I have taken those mood pills Valitrin you can see them at www.valitrin.com (http://www.valitrin.com) i am on them now but i can't see any difference.
I know what helps me is posting here.. you guys keep me laughing and i don't feel as lonely when i am in here. So PJ... i will be your PM friend.. you cyber buddy.. so when you feel lonely just pm me okay?
There really is no other advice i can give you..

I think I know how you feel. I have been down that road before about two years back. Actually, sometimes I still feel that way off and on. I have a boyfriend and I love him, but sometimes I get lonely for friends (like other females). It's hard for me to find friends to click with because I am so different from most females. I like things that mostly guys are into and I have no desire to have children.

We are here for you if you want to talk.

Awwww Sweety! I am always here for you!
I wish there was something more that I could do to cheer you up :(

You need to make some changes in your life... I get myself involved in charities and things like that to make me feel better about who I am and about life. That doesn't do the trick for everybody, but it sure helps me when I get lonely.

We need to find you a woman, too! That will surely help!

I'm not sure what I can do to help out.. but you just name it! And hanging out here will help, too! This bunch really loves ya, babe!

thanx Tina, and everyone else. i really appreciate(sp?) the support

I've been there, PJ. I don't know what the right answer is because I obviously didn't make it. I can tell you what NOT to do though. Don't: Lock yourself away from life Push your friends away Stay home alone and dwell If you are feeling anything like I did, then I know how difficult this would be, but try to get out and be around people. I dwelled on being lonely for so long, that I realized a lot of it was self-imposed. And. because I did it for so long, it has affected how I feel when I am in public.

If you need someone to talk to, I am only a PM away, pal. :)

There's not much I could add that hasn't already been said. I can only emphasize what has been said:
Get out of the house and around people.
Find things to do that interest you (keep
yourself busy).
Share your feelings with someone you trust.
And post here often.
These are all normal feelings, everyone experiences them in varying degrees from time to time. You can PM me anytime you feel the need (that goes for everyone).

PJ, have you talked to your doctor about changing the dosage of the medication or changing the type of medication?

I know it doesn't sound promising, PJ, but a change in meds can make all the difference. Hope you feel better soon. :)

I kinda know what your goin' through pj, I went through a rough time the first few years after I started Homeschooling, I adjusted and found ways to get out. Now I'm doin' fine, I have 2 GOOD friends and thats it. That's all I need. I know everyone on the block and we might play some basketball once a week but, all ya need is one or two good friends. And of course everyone here. :)


Also, Medicines aren't some magic cure, somtimes ya gotta do it the oldfashioned way.

Hope ya feel better soon PJ.

No, they are not magical. They can though (under the right circumstances) keep depression from spiralling out of control. I like your attitude though, Ted. It's a healthy one. Keep thinking like that. :)

LOL @ Ted. Yep! You definitely do need a good attitude not to let this world drive you nuts! And, you're welcome.

I'm currently not on any meds, but the reason I'm lonely is cause there really is nothing left in this city. I wish that I could afford to move but thats out of the question til and if i find a new job
