Is life just a never ending cycle of sadness

I’ve been telling myself years now that it will get better. Trying not to take my life, trying not to let my emotions be controlled by other’s actions but every single time i fail. If i am meant to be alone, why not take my desire to be loved? Where do I put the sadness when it becomes too much to bare? What do normal people do when they are lonely?

Your feelings of sadness and isolation are real—and they deserve care, not judgment. Wanting love is proof your heart still beats with hope. It doesn’t mean you’re flawed or unworthy; it means you’re human.

If the urge to give up ever becomes overwhelming, you don’t have to face it by yourself. Consider talking with:
• A mental health professional (therapist, counselor or psychologist)
• A trusted friend or family member
•Your primary care doctor

You deserve support and relief. If you feel unsafe with your thoughts, please reach out right away to someone near you who can stay with you, or consider going to your nearest emergency department.
