Feel very alone

This is the most alone in my life I can ever remember feeling. Between every bit of stress and being depressed at home and work I tried to force myself outside to go play a card game at a local card shop. A place where similar people to me exist that share interests. Even there in a room of 30 people, I felt so insignificant. I had nobody to talk to at all. In an hour of being there I started to get a wave of depression that made me wish I never left the house. Ever going somewhere to participate in a activity I have waited months to do, I got no enjoyment from, and also had a breakdown trying to do. I tried to talk to some friends online about everything, but it felt like I was just ignored. Everybody I want to tell things to just feels like they are annoyed at me. I really don't know what else to try. Nothing helps me feel better.

I'm sorry that your outing didn't go well and that your friends didn't help you. Maybe you should look into seeing a therapist. Try www.psychologytoday.com. I was in bad shape when I talked to the nurse practitioner that I see in July 2021. I told her that I could talk for 3 hours. She said it was time to see a therapist. I really vented to the therapist. My last appointment was in March and I have been holding my own for the most part. Think about it.

I am so sorry to hear about how lonely you feel.
I know that feeling of putting yourself out there only to feel like
you wish you hadn't tried.
But it's amazing that you did try! There are so many lonely
people out there. You matter. Things will get better

I wish i even had some where to go to try and get out of my isolation. I go to work everyday where i have no friends and between that and loosing my best friend in a break up now i have no one. The only activities i can do are ones by myself like go for a bike ride or draw but i can't even get my self to do that. I hate my job and should be and need to do to a financial crisses im in but i can't even get out of bed most days or get myself to open my computer. Only to try and talk on here but it hasn't really gotten anywhere connecting. Sorry i can relate it's hard at least your making effort. I feel so alone.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
