I don't know where to go, or who to talk to. Im desperate, and I've been living alone in my apartment for at least three years. I need somebody to speak to about anything. I always tell myself that living like this is doable, but it is painful on an unimaginable level. I need to escape from this mental prison somehow

I have schizoid personality disorder too. I think I know what you're going through. It gets better, after it gets worse. The pain will eventually force you to do something, either killing yourself or putting yourself out there. I suggest the latter.

Personality disorders are no joke, therapy helps. The thing that helped me the most was a outpatient program, or IOP. If you can get a couple of weeks off I really suggest you look into it. Just call your local mental health facility and ask about their outpatient programs.

In the Bible God tells us, it is not good for a man to be alone. I lived by myself for some years and I know exactly what u mean. Roommate situations are not always ideal unless the people u live with behave in a decent manner. I live with a Christian fellowship so I have some protection from getting too isolated but the downside is I miss my privacy and no sex can happen here. When we live alone and isolated, we tend to become self focused and that's why u feel like you're losing your mind. You need more connection with others. I found this fellowship through a lady I met in the grocery store. She didn't immediately invite me but after awhile of knowing her.

I'm sorry you are suffering so much. This life can be unbearable when you are in so much pain. I know that the feeling of desperation can be awful. I wish you the best.

I have learned to embrace my aloneness. Now, I no longer ache for company except for the rare occasion, and usually, when I get myself out, I quickly remember why I like being alone and head right back inside.

I second what Iacuna said. I don't have schizoid personality disorder but I think i have something going on. At any rate I so feel for you to be dealing with the last three years alone. I have had at least one supportive person and its still hard. I haven't had energy or time to look into therapy but I have heard that the right program or person can help, but that sometimes it can take a little looking. Best of all thoughts to you.

I'm sorry you're going through this and I sadly have nothing to say except "I'm in the same boat".

The way I used to cope is to try and enjoy my own company -- going to movies alone, hiking alone, taking long walks at night alone etc etc. But of late, even those don't help.

I wish I could P.M. you but my account is too new for that I guess. Feel free to email me. [removed] if you want to talk. I really do know what you're going through.

Hop on the chat in a time frame that we agree on and we rock the scene. The last time I was in there they were exchanging furry porn. We need to put a stop to that!
