How to drive out bad thoughts

[onlyanimalsaregood]

Being home alone on a friday night when most people are having a good time adds to my loneliness and makes me think shit.

Anyone else who also feels this way and wants to talk?

I just spend the evening glued to my phone, resting from the week, listening to music, trying to actually finish watching anything and overall chilling. It's a great moment to sob desperately in the quiet of the basement too.

Same. I'm watching TV with my cat like any other day.

Feels. Usually getting preoccupied in a more physically demanding and mentally demanding task keeps my mind off it. Gaming doesn't seem to help anymore. Cooking works occasionally but I can't cook all day lol.

Also petting my kitties works wonders.

Coming to SS helps to reduce/stop sudden bursts of bad feelings.

For long term I have no solution.

As I understand you. But lately I've had too much free time to think. I'd also like to play but haven't for a long time. TV still distracts me. And yes, what helps me the most is my cat, there is nothing like animals, they are amazing

Yes, I agree. I feel that SS gives me a sense of relief. And since I deleted all my social media I spend even more time here. But I don't even miss it.

I was never big on social media.

Sometime ago I noticed that taking my phone when the bad feelings really hit and reading about suicide, methods and depression, made me feel good.

Now I just come here instead of reading random pages that I find on google, its slight less effective, but still helps me.

There is just something conforting in knowing that its possible to end everything and knowing that I am not the only person in the world going through things like this.

The real world, the people I deal with, it can feel so artificial and distant sometimes.

You do well, social media really doesn't add anything to our lives.
I know, I was doing exactly the same thing, until I found this page.
Yes, and it's good to be able to talk to people who understand us because, although sometimes for different reasons, everyone here feels more or less the same way.
And I think that the majority of the community is extremely supportive and lovely :)
It is a really good place to be.
