If there are so many people in the world that feel like me, like us, why do I feel so alone? Like nobody can understand my thoughts? Like I can’t ever be 100% sincere sharing them? If there are so many people on here that feel the same way, why aren’t you the girl sitting next to me in class? Why aren’t you one of the people I have to see every day? Are we meant to die little by little of loneliness in the end? Is that what we deserve?

Depression is an individual experience, it is incomparable to others because it is unique to only you. I suppose this characteristic of depression plays a role in making you feel lonely, as it really is a one-man journey. Others can support you from the outside in though, don’t be afraid to speak your mind and express your feelings. It’s hard for people who have never experienced depression to empathize, depression is a very indescribable state of being, any attempt to really articulate it comes off cliche and simple when it’s actually really complex. People intepret this simplicity as depression being simple, creating the dissonance between the two of you.
Loneliness is something that constantly pervades my life, but having connections with others even if they are not tangible is something that keeps me afloat 🙂 I hope you’re able to find people who can really resonate and understand you. To be honest, I’ve met 99% of them on SP. Nah, you don’t deserve to die of loneliness, you’re worthy of connection because you seem to be able and willing to offer the best for others. Keep your mind, ears and heart open, if you search you’ll find some people who can kick ass alongside you
I guess if people want to understand in the end they do, I have a few people who make me feel like I’m really not alone, and that’s a very positive outcome in my everyday life. I always keep my mind and heart open hahaha keep on kicking bad bad ass @SB
PURPLEPAIN, many times family members can not tell others are depresses. They can not tell their daughters are crying out for help as they do reports in school on Sylvia Plaithe. Our eyes are closed out of ignorance or stupidity to the suffering that goes on to those around us. Maybe they are next to you in class maybe they live next door. Maybe they hide their pain really well. All I knew is that there are many here to help you on your road to recovery
I know, and I want to be here for others as well.
Many times family will know you are depressed and don’t give a shit.
