Right now it's 4 a.m. on Saturday. I feel incredibly lonely. It's a void beyond description. As pathetic as this may sound, I wish so much to have a romantic relationship. I would feel so alive.
However, my depression repels potential friends and potential boyfriends. My appearance has not made up for this.

Hi Phoenixgirl. I'm so sorry you're hurting. I wish I had something brilliant to tell you, but I don't. I'm not someone who generally minds being alone, although I must confess I've never really been alone.
Have you been to Psycho-Babble Open, the Yahoo chat group? I've found it to be a wonderful source of support. (Tho admittedly not at 4 am in the morning, I don't think.)

psychiatric illness takes a terrible toll on the ability to have relationships. i have spent most of my life alone. i have fewer of those 4 am voids, however, because i take something at night to sleep. otherwise i would not be able to handle it at all.

I don't have anything brilliant to add either except to tell you you aren't alone in being alone. I seem to mess up every intimate relationship I have and I am sick of friends not understanding.
I am so lonely right now I can hardly stand it. I don't understand how in a world of so many people so many of us feel so alone. We distance ourselves from people we meet on the street because we are gabbing on our cell phones, we don't talk to our neighbors in apartment buildings, we barely look at each other in grocery stores...it just seems so ridiculous.

*4am knows all my secrets...* the worst in me comes out at 4am. on the nose.
you will find someone. it's inevitable. it's the waiting that sucks.
you're never really alone. and if you ever want to msg me, feel free. just ask me if i'm feeling lonely today. email ghost at autoneurotic dot net or aim crazychemgrrl. i'll always write back. because you're not really alone. you just haven't met the right people yet.
