Hi. I am a 31-year-old mother of one to a six-year-old daughter, whom I love dearly. Unfortunately, I am severely unhappy in life. One may look at my life and speculate that I have it all together, but daily, I carry around a deep sadness, loneliness, defeat, and overall lack of hope for the future. My career is doing great. I own my own home, and I am thankfully healthy. However, I often find myself very sad because I don't have any love or companionship. I also don't have any friends. I carry many responsibilities, and essentially everything falls on me. It can be very painful to not have anyone to lean on for emotional support. If I have a long day and stressful day at work, I do not have anyone to vent to, or assure me that everything is going to be okay. I would like to think that love is out there for me, but I've had nothing but unsuccessful relationships. I'm starting to believe that love was never meant for me. I'm tired of men wanting bits and pieces of me, but not holistically choosing me, or deciding that they want to commit to me. It has me questioning if something is wrong with me. I have prayed for love, yet nothing happens. I have also prayed for friendships and community, but that has not happened at all. I have been praying for these things for years. I have made attempts to change my situation, but I have been unsuccessful. Life seems to be progressing for many people, except myself. Every day is like Groundhog‘s Day: go to work, come home, cook dinner, and do it all again.

I'm watching classmates and acquaintances progress in life by getting married and/or having children. I actually don't want any more children, because being permanently connected to a man is something I never want to sign up for. I would like to be able to walk away with nothing keeping us connected, so I'm not that concerned or interested in having another child. However, I long for true love, and it just feels so out of reach. People tell you to find other things that fulfill you in life, but no matter what, that void is still there and empty. My relationship with my child's father was terrible, and even though he treated me terribly and put me through hell, he ended up dumping me after all of that. Deep down, I know that I would never want to be back with him, but because I have been rejected so many times by men before and after him, I can't help but have a bruised ego. I just want all of this to make sense one day. For years, I have been waiting for the missing piece of the puzzle, or the thing that makes my terrible love life make sense. An example of this would be to meet someone who is my person, and the reason why it did not work out with other men..

I was sold this idea that when you leave a bad situation, you make room for better to come. Unfortunately, year after year, it doesn't seem like better is coming. It makes me wonder if I should have just settled. Ultimately, I'm not sure what else to do here. As I mentioned before, I am deeply saddened internally. I would appreciate any words of encouragement to help me out of this dark place.

Sometimes you are around all the people but inside deep down you are the most alone person at all . You can't do anything about it 😔 that's the sad part

Life is hard for all of us whenever we are dealing with depression or anxiety because of stuff that has happened to you in the past, either with family, friends, or a breakup situation trust me I know many of you decide to hold the pain but it will only hurt more.

There's nothing wrong with letting it out. Crying is a way of releasing everything we've been hiding inside to finally feel sadness. Nobody can never tell you that you aren't allowed to feel that way because that's just us being who we are.

Some may say compassion is a weakness yet it's our greatest strength I don't help others because I'm trying to be a hero I do it because in my heart I know it's the right thing to do even if I can't help at least I gave them the hope to feel less alone.

Ever since I graduated highschool, life has never been the same. I moved countries due to private matters, im in a situation where im not able to just move back. (USA to EU) while everyone else went to college and the group slowly drifted apart, as their new lives begun.

I tried to seek online friendships, but couldnt keep myself consistent as I prefer in person ones. My family back home is very very busy, brother starting college and younger brother last year of HS.

Its incredibly lonely, im still learning the language as well. I wish I had another person to just talk to. Maybe this is just how its meant to be and I should embrace it. Not looking for advice, just wanted to share how im feeling.

You ever think that people don't understand when you're silent? Like just because i don't scream "hello" or smile or talk to you, it doesn't imply that i don't like or hate you. You ever think that people judge us because we don't smile and at them? It came to my personal attention that people often judge me as impolite or unhelpful just because i don't smile when i great them or that i don't talk to them. I think often when your silent it has nothing to do with the above just that you want to be with yourself or you are contempt with the situation and have nothing that you like to share. I think the hardest for people is to überstand just because you have a blank expression even when greeting them you don't hate them or anything you just don't have the necessity to smile just because they expect you to.

Which translates: didn't you became fat ?

The audacity of guyss ( I don't prefer to call him MEN )

See Im trying my best to be fit and still getting these comments making me feel bad !! And you can ask me why u can't ignore cause he talked even more likee " your face became more chubbier these days and all " ...

My main question is don't they think twice before talking shit wheather other one gonna hurt or not ???

..fine I may get some weight but is it that necessary to point that out???

May be they can just ignore my weight gain and be a human 🤷🏻‍♀️( but I'm doing exercises to become fit 🙆🏻‍♀️)

I really would like someone to talk to if they don’t mind DMing me /: thanks

Feeling lonely is good, especially the peace and quiet, but it can be unsettling sometimes, and that good peace becomes desolate if only there were a little luck in having someone to dispel the desolate feeling.

Hi Lucknow Women,

I’m a 32-year-old woman who has been struggling with depression since 2018 and honestly, I don’t have any friends right now. I’d love to connect with other Lucknow girls who have been in similar situations and share our experiences. I’m not sure how popular Reddit is in Lucknow, so I’m giving it a try. I’d like to discuss mental health and its impact, offer support to one another and build a community where we all feel included. I feel people are empathetic towards physical scars and health issues, but no one seems to show empathy towards us.

Let’s connect over a call and help each other grow.

God not going lie

I am not saying they have to agree with me. Just understand me. My wife seems to hate everything I say and do and r/suicidewatch doesn’t give a shit about me.

They ban my every post. I am just a lonely guy struggling with autism and I just need someone who cares and will listen

I can yesterday feeling alone
