I am so lonely that I don’t really want to live anymore. I am NOT going to commit suicide, but I do idealize it as the cure for my pain. How can I get through this?

It can swing both ways i guess.
Do you feel like there’s no meaning to waking up everyday? Do you feel sad or jealous when you see groups of happy friends together? Do you feel like crawling into a dark corner and crying? Do you feel like you don’t have friends even when your surrounded by them>? Do you understand the difference between friends and acquaintances — and feel like you have near zero friends if thats the case?
I think i understand if its yes to most of the questions above.
This might not help but, it’ll take time to get out of this rut. Positive thinking and positive lifestyle will help. Personally, i prefer starting new…new work place, new surroundings…once a while, treat yourself to something nice…to get out of it, you have to first love yourself…positive feeling attracts positive vibes. Find out who you are…what you’re about…be honest with yourself. If you ever meet someone new, talk to them, make them laugh…get to their level..and just ask them what you asked Y/A…in a casual way…its nice to hear other people’s opinion…feels like the worlds not that perfect
Loneliness can be a symptom of depression AND depression can isolate someone and cause loneliness, so your right on both counts. Are you also alone? Loneliness and alone are not the same thing. If your not alone, remind yourself.
Just know that loneliness is temporary and is something you can control but doing something about it. It’s up to you. Sometimes the answers come in due time.
Depression accentuates the feeling of loneliness. Many people live alone, and don’t feel suicidal or even lonely! You are having symptoms of depression, and you need to go for treatment. You can speak with your family doctor and get a referral. I believe you when you say you’re not going to commit suicide…but have you ever thought of this: If someone does commit suicide, how will they know that their pain is relieved? They’re dead!
talk about it. let us know whats going on so we can give advice
I got a pocket, got a pocket full of sunshine! Take me away, a secret place, a sweet escape, take me away! Take me away, to better days, take me away, a hiding place!
You feel lonely because you are alone. You feel like no one knows you, understands you, cares about your ideas, values and passions. Feeling lonely is not a symptom of anything … It is just feeling alone.. That’s all.
Loneliness may seem to be a symptom of depression, but all depression (suppression of your feelings) does is, it makes you lose your awareness due to a drop in your mood. Your mood gets low, when you give up hope, hope of feeling your strong negative feelings, and getting no support from anyone, on the way you really feel, especially from the people you perceive should be close to you.
One way that come to mind, as in how you can get thru this, is to use some humor and truth. Start being open with yourself and others and say it loudly and repeatedly – Say "I feel alone in this world and it sucks!! Again – " I feel alone in this world and it sucks!"
Then ask yourself, "what can I do all by myself, something I enjoy, since I"m alone in this word" or go out and ask 20 people "Hey, im looking for people who feel alone in this world, anyone who feels alone, please join my "lonely people" group" Then let them share with you how it sucks for them too.
loneliness can cause depression, and depression can cause loneliness. But of course, those are different types of depression.
I can relate, I am depressed too. It’s like there is a barrier between you and the rest of the world that you can’t seem to break. Like your alone, trapped in a cage, and can’t find the key to unlock it (if there is one). I found that getting school councilling has helped me think more as to why I’m feeling as bad as i do, so try that. Also the Samaritans are really helpful and understanding. We just have to believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Don’t suffer in silence -tell someone now!
take care xxx
