Hi Lost Soul,

I will be your friend! Your post resonated with me. I can appreciate all the things you said in your post. While I can never feel what you are going through, I can relate to it in my own way because your points seem similar to what I too am going through. Like others have said, honor yourself for taking the bold step of sharing your feelings. That is the best thing to do instead of letting it bubble and swell up inside you, which I’m guessing you already know! It can feel so crushing feeling so lonely and having no one to turn to. That happened to me a few weeks ago. I was sobbing so hard while stuck in commuter traffic on the way home from work– not an uncommon occurrence for me.. and I realized that besides for my fiancé, I literally have no close friends to confide in or share my deep feelings with. It felt horrible. I kind of just screamed/cried, tried to find songs on the radio that I actually wasn’t sick of.. and continued my drive home, looking forward to getting my mind off my sadness by watching a show/movie, listening to music in my apartment I actually wanted to listen to. But in any case, thank you for sharing your thoughts on this space. You found a great place to share here. A lot of good people here to provide wonderful support and ideas from different perspectives that are actually useful.
