Anyone out there that might be able to help cheer me up? I don't know how but I'm desperate to feel better.
Hi! Im so sorry! I wish I could say something that would help! What would you need in this moment? I may not be able to show you such support youd need through social media. But just know that Im sure theres many people who appreciate you. Im not sute if you would like any suggestions? Like maybe there could be some meetups or ways to meet new people? I have found my closest friends online or through hobbie/support groups as an adult.Thanks. I'm struggling and it gets worse every time I leave my house. I just see everybody and am so envious of their lives. It's not about material things, it's about having close knit friends and family that kills me. I've never had that and I don't think I ever will. I'm too quiet and never have anything to say. No one is going to want to be around me, especially at my age (45). It's so unlikely for me to turn things around now. I'm losing hope and I think the end is very near. I don't want to leave my dog.
as an animal lover, you have a best friend. being able to show love to an animal shows that you are capable of caring. and animals are capable of recognizing that. there is nothing more to say. you are worthwhile just as you are. many people I know who are suicidal are concerned about their pets and what will happen to them. I had a friend who was suicidal and in an inpatient unit 'fake' her way out of it to make sure her cat was fed. It shows how powerful we can love and sacrfice for such worthy creatures. Its other humans who are a bit more difficult to deal with.Thanks. I'm struggling and it gets worse every time I leave my house. I just see everybody and am so envious of their lives.

I really don't know what to do anymore. I just want this misery to end. Sometimes I think I should push through it but then I think about my age and how I don't look the way I used to. I was raised with so much value put on appearances and now everything has just gone south. I don't feel attractive anymore and I doubt I'll be able to meet someone now that my looks have gone to shit. I know I'm a nice person but beyond that I'm pretty lame. I wish I had family that I could turn to and ask for a hug from but I don't. I don't remember the last time that I received a hug, it's gotta be years.Hi! Im so sorry!

I love my dog but he would probably have a better life with someone else. He's an awesome little guy and he deserves a better mom. It sucks to say this but it just doesn't seem like he's enough for me to stick around for. There's gotta be more to life than just my dog.as an animal lover, you have a best friend. being able to show love to an animal shows that you are capable of caring. and animals are capable of recognizing that. there is nothing more to say. you are worthwhile just as you are. many people I know who are suicidal are concerned about their pets and what will happen to them.

Im sorry you feel that way. Im not sure if you want any suggestions? Or if you just want someone to listen? I was just thinking if there could be someone you could reach out or any support groups? Or hobbie groups for example book club etc? I dont know where you live but at one point I was jealous of some US cities since there was much more support clubs. Nowadays also online. If you have any interest I have met some great people in meditation groups etc. where the focuse is in deeper aspects. At one point I understood I need to make some effort to try to connect with people. Put myself out there even if its hard. Just thinking out loud. Hope its ok to say this?I really don't know what to do anymore. I just want this misery to end.

I'm 53 and I feel the same as you re: being envious of others' lives, friends and family, relationships. I've never experienced a true and deep connection, not in love or friendship or even family (my sibling and I have never been close and haven't even talked or seen each other now in almost 5 years or more) and I know at my age and in my cirucumstances, I never will. It's hard to accept, esp some days. And it's like all I see when I am out are examples of those things others have, so going out only gets more and more painful.Thanks.

Hi. Thank you for sharing that with me. I sent you a Pm. I hope I did it right.I'm 53 and I feel the same as you re: being envious of others' lives, friends and family, relationships.

Please reach out to me via PM if you ever want to talk. I truly do understand your pain and struggles, and my heart goes out to you.
Thank you. There's gotta be one thing for people like us. Nobody wants us to end our own lives but we're not given real helpful programs. There's gotta be something.I'm here if you ever need somebody to talk to. I'm sorry I can't give you a simple hug. I wish I could. I absolutely understand what you mean.
