I was feeling immensly depressed and lonely a couple of weeks ago, and I was trying to find a remedy. The only thing that has worked so far, is spending hours on the internet, which probably isn’t healthy. Within this forum, I’m sure there are others who have done similar. I tried plenty of other things, and going out and meeting new people, but it didn’t seem to help. I am living away from home, and away from my family. There is so much to do on the internet to make me feel better, but maybe I’m just fooling myself. ---

It’s a short term solution to a long term problem. Make stronger efforts and finding happiness elsewhere and you’ll be better off in the long run. I know because I am (not) a shrink. ---

^ Its not mental issues, its more of wanting company. No matter how much you want to get away from people, deep deep inside, you just seem to want to find the right person to talk to. Earlier on in my life, I started hating people (literally) but sometimes just observing someone and then introducing yourself seems to work… 😕 I might not make much sense. It might be because I am sleep deprived thats all… ---
