I want to make some kind of joke but to be honest my life is completely empty as well. I don't think I'm ready to meet anyone yet, but it's nice to hear that I am not alone in the world.

I have been seeing a therapist and I told her I feel like an alien a lot. Like I am just visiting people on earth and observing them. The world is so cold and unforgiving, and I don't really seem to be able to connect with people emotionally.

The holidays are the hardest I think, but you'll make it. I think about ending my life a lot, but it's more idle idealization than planning. I don't know if any of this means anything to anyone but you'll make it! If I am still here then you'll be fine!

Hey! I’m glad you’re here and I hope you feel better! The world can definitely be cold and I’m feeling that extra hard this morning. Stay strong.

I've been describing myself the last several months as "haunting my life." Depression isn't very kind.

The pandemic didn't seem to help many to feel empathy for fellow man. There seem to be a lot of us in our lonely little crab shells ❤️

It's expensive but I would look into a formal diagnosis with someone in the neurological field. I felt this way for a long time and had to do that for school, and it turns out I'm on the spectrum. I used the actors in a play and everyone knows their lines but me analogy, so close enough.

Holidays blow for people like us. It's gonna be alright, I say as I grind my teeth with the days continuing to get shorter.
