I'm struggling with loneliness right now

The title says it all, really. I'm depressed and lonely and can't reach out because I don't want to be a burden on people who have actual lives to live. And the few phone crisis lines here are all oriented towards people 25 and under, and I feel like I'd be taking the space of someone else who actually needs help, because I know I'm not actually going to kill myself or anything like that. To be fair, it might just been feeling touch-starved, since I haven't had any human touch in a few weeks now. I'm sure this feeling will pass, but for now I'm stuck suffering.

Nobody who reads this has to give any advice or anything. I'm not even really expecting this pointless venting to be read by anyone in the first place. I just needed to get it out of my head. Sorry for wasting your time.
