    I am so lonely. I have no one to talk to, no friends to call, no where to go. All i can do is cry. My life is so so ****. Why cant i just feel happy like everyone else?! Surely others have felt like me at some stage?

    If all you can do is cry, you really need to make an appointment with your GP.

    If you are lonely then you can try making friends by seeing if any of the activity/hobby/entertainment on offer in your locale appeals to you. Keep an eye out for Boards beers, check the local papers, supermarket noticeboards, 3rd level education establishments, etc for what's on. The more people you meet regularly, the more you increase the chances of meeting people you click with.

    All the best.

    Yes people do feel like this at times. Just keep your head up and take comfort that life does get better. Maybe even see a doctor about depression.

    Sorry to hear you feel so bad. Loneliness is so hard to cope with. As ickle Magoo said, try and talk to a doc if you can. I was having a bad time last year and felt v overwhelmed and it all just came out at the docs. Was great to get it off my chest and have someone listen. The compassion and understanding just meant so much at the time, and knowing that support was there if needed in the future was v helpful.

    There are helplines too if you'd rather speak to a stranger, or if you feel bad at any hour of the day. Getting out and meeting new people is great too but can be easier said than done when you feel so low.

    Hope you start to feel better very soon. There is support out there

    Yes, a lot of people do, and in my experience it helps to remember that these things do get better. However I'd recommend you talk to a professional about this, so that it doesn't get any more on top of you.

    I really hope you feel better soon.

    Hi there OP

    I went through a bery bad patch myself a few years ago. one thing i found that helped me enormously was talking to samaritans. I didn't want to, and couldn't call them at the time as I lived at home, so I used their text service, was a real lifeline for me. 0872609090 is the text number and I think 1850609090 is the number you can call 24/7 (you can also text 24/7) until you see your gp or get to talk to someone who can help this may just be what you need. I hope it is and that you can find the strength to get the help you need to get through this OP. Remember, you are important, you do matter, and there are, even if it doesn't seem so, lots of people that care about you and who would help if they only new, or try to at least, I'm sure.
    The very very best of luck and sincerest warm wishes for getting better soon x

    Many people did and so do I. Now after quite a long time of so called "happiness" have different situation - loads of friends around but no-one I feel could / should know about my problem thus have no one to talk about.
    All you can do is just to go out socializing to meet up the people or start some POF profile and fish for friends. I am sure you'll find someone finally.
