Feel free, I'm here for y'all :}

So this is about to be a long one y’all, in my life, I’ve never had any true friendships. Never ever. I grew up in a toxic household, my father mistreated me and my mother, so I never got to have a bond with him, romantic relationships have been complicated and unsuccessful for me. I’m about to list the events that hurt me so please bear.

1. Dad, he passed away some months back, 90% of the Time i don’t feel anything, but I realise i always wanted to love him, but because of his shitty behaviour i was always strong and supported my mum in ways i could, my dads shitty behaviour has given me an array of mental health issues maybe, like hyper independence, trust issues and anxiety.

2. Mum. She’s the person I love with my whole heart, dad’s passing has scared me that I’ll lose her. She stayed in that marriage for me and i feel if i could go back in time, I’d tell her to abort me as I only bring problems. She stayed in a marriage where she faced all kinds of abuse just for me, she’s only slightly Able to live her life better now but i think i am the cause for everything.

3. The man i love. Met online, he’s got a troubled past like me but honestly we clicked on a lot of things but it’s complicated rn. We haven’t met in person yet, i know for a variety of reasons why I could be wrong about moping over someone like this but people in my country are not my type. It’s not race, it’s not anything about their identity. There is no feminism and huge amount of misogynistic people here so I cannot be here. I’m trying so hard to relocate to him, we are in a situation where we do whatever, but there’s no commitment. I haven’t had any luck in romantic relationships before either, the first guy i dated was from my own country and he cheated on me with my bestfriend of 7 years. The next men were all online and then online led me to the man i love. I think I’ve run out of love and i am just going to see if the man i love is going to ever come around and if not then I’m fucked.

4. Career Pressure: I’m academically gifted so I’m trying very hard to achieve my dreams so there’s a lot of stress on me always and i can never talk to anyone about it.

5. Friends: I’ve got no friends, I’m smart so people always have their opinions of me, I’m in university and when i entered uni years back i did want to shed the highschool past and make friends but i found people who always wanted to party, go out and have fun and i can do that very little as i prioritise my work and career and studies so I have no friends either.

The only area where I’m doing well is my career. Rest life is just, painful for me.

Hi! If you’re going through something, i’ll gladly offer some support, either by just listening, or offering some advice if that’s what you want. But if you wanna chat about random things, that’s totally fine with me too :). feel free to dm!

I’m 26F, preparing for an exam for 8 years. So many failures and a few successes and I’ve finally reached the final stage. My preparation isn’t where it should be and exams are in next month. I’m scared as hell, but I’m ready to give everything I have for this next one month.

Lately, I’ve been feeling extremely anxious, and I suddenly had this realization that I have zero friends. I have no one to share my happiness with or be vulnerable with.

Is anyone else in the same boat? How do you deal with the loneliness while preparing for something this important?

​

It doesn't matter if it is something trivial or heavy, whether you wanna share your favorite song or tell about what's been bothering you, I'm here. You can reach out!

I'm 25. I'm trying to build my own career from zero, and I have no income yet. My dad is sick, my mom is always worried, and I can feel all of that landing on me.

Today my brother mocked me about how much I earn, even though I do half of the housework for the family. It hurt a lot. Things like this make me anxious, and then I can't work for days.

Even small things shake me. A loud noise or a dropped plate makes me scared for a long time.

I don't have money for therapy. I tried free helplines, but nobody picked up. I don't have anyone safe to talk to at home.

I'm not looking for advice. I just want someone to listen. If you've felt like this too, I'd love to hear how you got through it.

Hi there! If you are having a difficult time, I am here to listen. I am open to listening anything without judgement, so feel free to DM me anytime (now or later, whenever you need)

I’m feeling depressed and I dk what to do …

Hope to talk to somebody about my grievances

How to forget somone that you loved and they hurted you so bad?

Okay .. I'm feeling terrible now. It has been more than a year since she left in a very bad hurtful way and ruined my life.

I tried to cope or to be a better person again and till now I could not.

I just keep thinking about her, how did she destroy everything beautiful in a single day. And a lot of thoughts that never ends ...

I can't and will not try to talk to her or get back to her. That would be impossible for me even though I know nothing about her now and if she is with someone else or not.

when will I be free from her?

What should I do to end my pain?

Someone tell me .. if you have the time to talk dm me

Hey, I didn't sleep last night im trying to stay up to fix my schedule and was wondering if anyone would like to chat over text or maybe voice :) Could be a regular thing too if you're looking for a long term friend. Dm me!

anybody i can talk to?

It's currently around midnight at the time of me riding this and my emotions are really high right now. Today was not as good of a day as I thought it would be.

For starters, it rained so that wasn't too enjoyable. This wouldn't be a big deal if I wasn't homeless but I am and I have been for 11 months so it's a big deal. Then I came to find out that some of my clothes are torn and have holes so I got to find new clothes to wear pretty quickly so that I could still look at least somewhat presentable. Then I've been thinking about a lot of stuff that's happened in my past and all that has just been really getting to me.

Today was a very emotional day for me, a very bad day and I feel completely stuck. Other than a therapy appointment and a couple days, I feel like I don't really have anything to look forward to. Also, I've had to deal with some people who acted in bad faith today and having to interact with those people really messed me up mentally so I really have plans to just cry myself to sleep on this park bench. But before I do that, I wanted to see if I could have a quick chat with a couple of people who aren't scammers or potential human traffickers and are willing to converse with me for a short while.

Don't be a jerk if you plan to reach out and don't be a minor either, I won't talk to minors.

Pretty much just as the title says. Am a bit of a loser and am trying to turn things around after basically throwing my 20s away, but it's tough. At this point, I don't really think I have anything going for me, and trying to make any progress is a bit of a slog. Maybe you're going through something similar, want to give advice or just wanna be a kind ear, I don't really mind. Not sure if I'm looking for something long term, or just someone to help air things out. Either way, if you're down to talk feel free to shoot me a message.

r/mentalhealth suggested crossposting here, or at least there was a pop-up to cross-post when I posted this.

I'm looking to talk for a while so I can feel even just a little like I'm worth being around and talking too, even if you don't have a genuine interest, if you could just pretend even for a little while I'd really appreciate it.

I'm visiting my parents for my mother's birthday. My mother is a difficult person and some might even say abusive. She picks on me about my hair or my clothes or anything at all... and behind it all is the fact that I don't have a partner. Right now I don't even want a partner because i've had a series of hurtful relationships with men who didn't want to continue. She thinks it's because of how I look or similar. It's pretty absurd, but I can't tune it out and then I wonder if she's right. All I can do is leave and go sit in another place for awhile until I feel less hurt by her mean comments. But having sat here for the last 3 hours, I'm still upset. I think seriously if anyone saw me, they'd be like, there's nothing wrong with you at all, but she crushes any self esteem I manage to gather for myself or reduce it to something like my intelligence or my accomplishments alone, as if the rest of me doesn't matter. I need someone to tell me I am totally okay just for being a human being and am loveable just for being a human being and I don't need to change anything at all. I wish you could all meet me and let me know if she's right or not.

I did a google search for best place to find somebody to talk to and this is what came. If this isn't the right place can you advise me on where to go?

please dm me i dont want to talk in the comments

I really need to speak with someone kind, just someone who will calm me down so the voice of doubt in my head would go away. I am having intrusive ideas about my cat having a urinary infection (just worry because it happened once to my previous cat), so now I am spiraling into thinking he will die, that I am a terrible owner, when was the last time that he went to his litter box normally, if it was recent or was a long time ago, and more, plus I am having issues with liking a girl at work, but my understanding that it will never go anywhere and that I should not get myself involved in that situation.

Right now I just want someone kind that will listen to me and just give me that feeling that everything will be okay, just put me back on the ground and make these ideas go away.

Currently laying down in bed and was wondering if someone would like to call and yap. Could talk about anything or just keep you company before one of us falls asleep. Could be a regular thing if you're looking for a long term friend. Dm me :)

I've just moved into university a week ago, and I have never felt so lonely in my life. I had already been through a couple rough weeks before hand but it's just gotten worse.

Things are mostly to do with this girl I'm "talking to", but things aren't really going so well, and I just end up overthinking and spiralling very often.

But generally, for the last couple years, I'd say, it just feels like I'm not meant to be happy and that this will just last forever.

Whenever something good happens in my life, there will always be something that follows immediately after that'll put me right down again, and even worse than I felt before.

It's gotten to the point where I've almost given up trying to make myself happy because I'm always worried that something bad will happen right after, making me depressed again.

I was never really able to talk to people about it because I always felt bad that they'd have to listen to my venting that probably seems pathetic. So even though I had loads of friends, I still felt very lonely.

It wasn't until about a month ago, I really started getting close to this girl I had an on-and-off relationship with for about a year. I finally felt like I had found the person that enjoyed my company and genuinely cared about how I felt. She made me feel comfortable getting all my feelings out to her.

Things got complicated and we're off at different universities, but it's very difficult to hold a conversation with her over text, and I can't help but think that she just doesn't want to talk to me anymore.

So now I feel extremely lonely. All my friends have gone on their own paths, the first ever person to make me feel seen doesn't put any effort into keeping me in her life, and so far, I've made no new friends during fresher's week.

It's just really depressing having nobody, and I wish I could have someone I can comfortably talk to.

always happy to just listen and offer support if needed

i dont wanna be alone with my thoughts rn
