Loneliness Support Group

Loneliness is an emotional state in which a person experiences a powerful feeling of emptiness and isolation. Loneliness is more than the feeling of wanting company or wanting to do something with another person. Loneliness is a feeling of being cut off, disconnected and alienated from other people. The lonely person may find it difficult or even impossible to have any...

I'm enduring

Seven days ago I had a scare with suicide, and three of my friends and my sister came to my rescue. Five days ago they put me in a Psych ward, and two days ago they let me out, conditional that I freeze my place at University and go home to seek intensive care. It was the most surreal week of my life but now I'm home, and I'm thinking back on the whole thing.



I'm really touched that my friends came to my rescue but I'm sad I'm leaving my place at college on bad terms. My disorders have gotten in the way of my life again, and I scared my friends and family. Everyone tells me it isn't my fault, but I can't help but think I did this to myself because I was unable to keep myself under control and I was too blinded to see what I had. 



I think I've lost a friend because of it. She was my best friend and she helped me out the most seven days ago, but at the end she asked a policeman to check up on me and she left the team from where I first met her. Now, she won't respond to my messages. The people at the psych ward told me that she wasn't a true friend, but that's not the case. I think I pushed her too far, and that's one of my biggest regrets. I hope I get to see her again and I get to be her friend again. She was one of the best I had.


The thing that really struck me over the week was how much of an impact I had on people. You all likely have that impact on people as well. If you all could do something... Ask your friends for a movie night or something. Really pester them about it or offer to buy popcorn or something. Just get the chance to talk to them. Even if they're not really close, it helps. Because I wish I did that.

I know you still have a lot to work through, but I'm glad you are safe and alive. Give your friends a little time to work through their own feelings and just take things one day at a time. You've made some important realizations about how important you are to other people, and that's an amazing step :)

Im sorry your having such a rough time. I hope you can continue to try and heal. As for your friend, she might just need time to process everything and deal with her own feelings. Give her few days. Good luck and if you need anything i will be around.

Sometimes staying alive is the hardest thing we have to do. You are awesome for making it through and still pushing. Do Not Think about what you may or may not have put your loved ones through. I promise you they are so thankful that you are still with them. Idk what you've been through. I just posted part of mine earlier. Praying for positive responses. You are obviously loved. Think on that during the extra hard times. Because if you're like me , you go through hard times every day. Keep pushing hun. It gives us others hope. You being alive right now after what you've been through, gave me hope. Thank you. And just step back and give your friend time. But Do Not let your mind eat you up about it. You have bigger things in your life right now. The best ways to take the hardest journeys are one step at a time. Seriously think of only the next step you have to take. But don't think about the second till you've accomplished the first. Sounds silly, but it gets me through or I'd drive myself into a deep depression if I think of all I have to do to get any better. So my next step is staying hydrated till the next infusion/Dr visit. So all I'm focusing on is drinking this water and thanking God that my several suicide attempts were only "attempts". I'm also thanking him that yours was too.
