I was so high on life 2 days ago Im doing very well at work and am happy about that.

though today i purposelly hung around work so that i wouldnt have to come home to an empty home. when i got here no phone calls nothing!

am i so pathetic that no one will come into my life? i mean is it going to be this way forever. is there any help out there for me?

Home is my refuge. I don't want to get phone calls or have people come over. I like it like that. When I do want to be around people I go to the mall then I'm glad to get back home. I respect your feelings, though. You're not pathetic.
There is help and for me it took time to realize what I wanted. Curling up and crying can be cathartic and so can a hot fudge sundae!

I look at my similar situation and have realized I have avoided alot of the people who WERE close to me and therefore they have gone away. It is so hard for me to meet new people, I don't have the energy or the drive but I desperately disire companionship and Closeness. How weird is that. I think it is something we have to all deal with to some degree. I am such an all or nothing person and when I don't have the freinships/companionships I think I should I tell myself I have none and am a loser when in fact I have a few good ones out there, I just need to put forth a little effort, if I can find it.
Hang in there...

Yeh that friend thing thing is hard to do

No it won't always be that way. It's just a bad day.
Last week when I started getting depressed and I knew I was going to get suicidal I couldn't fine one friend to talk to. Not one. I felt so bad and so alone. This is the 2nd time this has happened. You have to believe it will get better because it will. People get busy and can't contact friends. That's all it is.

Try to remember that just the other day you wrote that your day was Spectacular and you will feel that way again.
