I feel like a burden

Mostly to myself. Nobody else irl is interested in knowing me outside of work, so I'm pretty much on my own most of the time. I wish I could be normal and wanted, but I'm stuck this way instead. I went from one hug a week down to no hugs in nearly 5 weeks, but I have to learn to live without that sort of thing again. Part of me wants to cut off everyone, but that will just make the isolation I already feel a whole lot worse. Another part of me wonders if we wouldn't actually have been better off dead, but it's less an active desire to die and more a curiosity I don't pay attention to.

I'm not sure anyone here is interested in hearing this stuff either, but at this stage I'm more just yelling into the void to try to get my thoughts straight/out. At least I know not to reach out to others now (again). I wish I didn't have yo keep relearning that lesson.

You DO know that you are suffering from clinical depression, right? AND you need to see a doctor for it. NOW!!!

ONE very practical thing you might consider is spending ALL of your free time volunteering...just pick some place where you can help KIDS, or the elderly in a nursing home, or help out at a local food pantry to give food to needy people. Your GOAL is to be around other people.

When you are THIS depressed it's not good to be alone.

@KiwiDan Awww, I'm really sorry the meds aren't working. It might be time to change them up!

I am so sorry to read this, Dan, but for what it's worth, although I can't do much, your words are powerful and have had an effect.

I know you exist.
Do you have a mom, a dad, any siblings? Not that the answer to that changes the experience you live.
I wish a richer life to KiwiDan.

@Poppies i have a mum and dad and siblings, but they aren't super interested in doing things with me/talking
You're not a burden. You seem quite cool. I'm not sure why no one is in your life/how that happened - but either way, just wanted to let you know someone read this who truly understands.

I can't imagine, not even close to what you must feel. I do hear you and that's the best I can do.
