-
yes. i was in a situation where i felt that nobody could relate to me and there also was noting i could do to control that awful situtation.
-
I feel that way all the time, cause my husband is always putting me down. He is that way because of listening to ?Dr.Laura for so many years.
-
Chronic, almost lifelong depression.
-
I have felt that way a lot. I felt that if I were to suddenly disappear, no one would even notice. I have since learned that that is completely untrue. There are a lot of people whose life I have touched and didn't even realize it. Even the most alone person has a purpose and will be missed when they are gone. It was a hard lesson to learn. It was also very worth it.

I don't let that toxic negativity get me down. I'm unsinkable!
-
I suffer from depression, due to circumstances, mostly. At night, when I am alone, it is the hardest. Arisztid is my anchor. I know I can call him, night or day, or IM with him, and he will support me. I know I am loved, by him, and that means I am worthy of love. So that helps me fight it.

Yes, after I spli with a girl I'd been with. It was like "He's all alone in the wilderness, folks with only his drugs for company".
-
Yes i have but i don't wanna say why.
-
Yes ... when my mother died. I have never felt so helpless and alone in my entire life.
-
Yes, but it was a long time ago, and I don't care to go into why. BUT what I found is that there was one person I knew (and yes, just one) who saw it, and reached out, in spite of his own troubled life at the time, and helped me through it. There's always that one person.

yeah,, many a times,, i just feel sad and broken,, feels lost,, lonely,, due to various things..

Yes, most of the time in fact. I guess I'd say I feel I alone because for all practical intents and purposes, I am. I've been quite depressed and generally screwed up for a while now. The only person I was ever deluded enough to believed actually "Loved" me has abandoned me and left me with nothing but pain and regret to remember them by; The only friends I have are just as helpless as I apparently am to help me, and I wouldn't want to ask that of them anyway; Even my family doesn't have much of a reaction to seeing me in trouble and pain besides getting angry and frustrated and making me feel guilty for putting any extra stress on them, and rightly so I guess... I can't really call myself "Hopeless", no one is truly hopeless, especially not anyone as young as I still am, but I've *Felt* pretty damn hopeless for a long time now. But enough of my complaining, just because I'm down is no reason to drag everyone else here down with me, so I'll just go ahead and shut up now...

I was listening to this constantly.
-
Alone, pretty much all of the time outside of the office because I am. Hopeless, from time to time for a few minutes when I am in a mood.. :)
-
Yes I feel pretty much like that most of the time. At work it is ok because there is much to assimilate all the time. I no longer go anywhere, because that is when I feel the loneness most. I never really thought much about it when people used to say when you were widowed or divorced you were suddenly a spare wheel. I just was not at an age where I ever expected to be left alone . Now outside of work and the Gym I am at home alone and except for the telephone I imagine I could be here or not and nobody would notice for quite a while. I do not suffer from depression just a new loneliness but I was diagnosed as PTSD when my son was killed. When my husband was alive that was easier to share.
-
yes and i hate when i feel this way it makes me feel pathetic
-
I do, often. I've struggled with depression my entire life. I have severe depression and not enough money to get treatment. It runs in my family. I have lots of times where I just feel like I'm taking up too much space for people who really need it. Like if I wasn't here, my family wouldn't have so many things to deal with, and my boyfriend would have more time and money to do the things he wants to do. I also then realize that I don't think that way about anyone else, why would they think that way about me? It's really a bad downward spiral that never ends. My usual thought? Who can love someone their own mother couldn't love?
-
A lot of time!!! I guess at times its necessary to feel thankful when you are friends around!!! IF you ever need one!!! Be free to call on me!
-
I have felt it and still feeling very alone. I wrapped my life too much around one person.
-
Yep. Circumstances make it so.
-
yeah, a bunch of times but especially one time last year. I had to get a spinal tap which is when they take fluid from your spine. It's extrememly painful and i kept shaking. And it was like 45 minutes long. The needle was seriously lik a foot long! lol ohh fun times!
-
Probably a few times
-
Alone? From time to time. Afraid? Not really. Anxious though... often.
