Anyone ever felt so completely alone in the world ? I do : (
Feel like a huge let down to a lot of people.
I'm 24 and have nothing going for me at all. Just feel so alone at the moment.
sorry just finally feeling the need to get it out a little bit. Apologies

What do you want your life to be like?
This may sound incredibly corny, but there's a quote I've read I feel very identified with from José Ortega y Gasset (free translation): "Life hasn't been given to me, it turns out I have to make it myself".
Take care.
My advice to you is to keep on going and youll get out of it in the end. Think about the good things in your life. But i know exactly how you feel.
I'm in a dead end job mates being twats no man in my life or any interest never pull....
Sometimes I think would people miss me if I wasn't about?
Also most people my age are all married, living with someone, got kid(s) and going places with their job unlike me ... redundant twice in 4 months....
What I suggest to anyone who feels like they're stuck in a rut is make that decision, be determined to change your life and make a cry for help if necessary. Try and talk to people; phone a helpline if you feel you can't talk to a friend, perhaps get a hobby, start volunteering.
For me the best thing I ever did apart from tell my friends how I felt was to start volunteering
Seriously ED1N I bet you're friends and family don't think you're a let down, have you tried talking to them?
And I bet you have a few things going for you, you're only 24, you've got most of your life infront of you. Seriously though, don't apologise, we're here for you to vent.
Have you had a look at the Health and Wellbeing articles? They might help you.
You're not alone, we've all felt like you and you can get through it.
Take care

Sometimes being in your situation can be a good thing
It means the only way is up and anything is a possible improvement, consider options you've never considered before.
Take your life in a new direction
Things changed when I went to see a councillor. Everyone close to me has told me that I seem like a totally different person now.
If you're feeling unhappy, you need help from other people. I tried it alone for years, and nothing helped.
Hey babe we all feel like that somtimes, dont let it get you down. Why dont you find some things that you enjoy, and be around some positive people. You really need to change your attitude, a good attitude might make you feel better about yourself.
I know for a fact the world's not a figment of my imagination. It would be so much cooler! There'd be rocket ships and catgirls and giant robots ... Ooh, and I'm thinking harem.
It took a few sessions for my councillor to understand my view of the world. I've always felt like you just described.
Now here is the logic that helped me to deal with it, cut and pasted from my journel:
• 1) If the world really exists, its better to be happy than unhappy.
• 2) If the world is only an illusion in my mind, still, it is better to be
happy than unhappy.
• from 1) and 2) logic dictates that it is better to be happy than unhappy,
whether the universe exists in a physical sense or not.
All we need now is to make sure that we do our best to be and to stay
happy.
Now please, lets not get too deep into meta-physics, because that gets messy.
