I'm having a episode...it's not bad and it's not good...I feel empty. I want to sleep. I want someone to care. I want...I don't know what the hell I want. I have that thousand yard stare. I pop pills to feel normal. When I take them I am more social and talkative and then..and then. When they leave I get sad again. Everyone keeps telling me they don't want me around. That they would be better off with out me.  Maybe it's true. Maybe you are better off without me. I mean theirs no real reason I'm still here besides to complain and waist your time in reading this... only happens at night. Always at night.. I'm just so tired...and so lonely. I just want a hug...

Why are people saying such things?
That sounds pretty terrible..

Maybe these are the wrong people to be spending time around

They are joking. I think? But it still hurts.

Try hanging out more with positive people. Not worth it to be around people who constantly bring you down. As for the sleep, try practicing some sport. It works for me. Every night I come home super tired.

Hi! Here's a big hug! You matter, count, and belong. Your life matters to the people who love you the most. Please don't let people make you feel like you are not wanted because you are. God loves and cares for you. There may be time when it seems as if hope is gone, but there is still hope. Have you considered talking to a license counselor? Praying for you.

To love, one needs to know what is love. And love is the most beautiful thing in life. when u truly love u give ur love seeking nothing in return. I give u my love and I don't ask for ur love in return. I just love. And love is the only thing that can fill that emptiness in ur heart, not any person​ or materialistic items. Ur love is not exclusive to only 1 person, but ur love is ur gift to this world. Don't destroy ur beautiful gift to this world for things that don't matter. Someone isn't ur friend or boyfriend has no meaning, what has deep significances in life is ur love towards people, animals,and nature. What really matters, is to have ur empty cup in ur heart full of love, that no 1 person can take away from u.

    I'm just still surprised and shocked at how my life turned out and how a man who used to shed tears when promising me forever, to love, protect and care for me can suddenly turn into a narc I couldn't recognize. It's been two years since my divorce but sometimes the trauma and horror I experienced come rushing back. Anyway he moved on with another woman before we went our separate ways, turns...

    I need some outside perspective because I’ve been feeling extremely lonely in my relationship, and it’s getting harder to ignore.I’m with a woman who has two kids, and over time I’ve realized I don’t feel connected to her or the home at all. She and the kids have their own bubble, their own rhythm, their own emotional world. I’m there physically, but I don’t feel included in...
