(Suicidal rant but no plans) I yearn to be loved

It sounds like you've been feeling lonely and wishing for romantic love to come into your life, and at the same time, I also hear you say that you hate feeling this way - as if there is a cold, heavy void inside that you cannot get away from. That sounds so difficult, and we're right here with you to listen and explore this.
You mentioned that sometimes it feels like the only thing that could get rid of that heavy feeling of unloveability would be suicide, and again, that sounds so agonizing to be going through everyday. I really hear how much you long to be held, and for the care and closeness of romance. May I ask, are you considering acting on these suicidal feelings at the moment @bignosegirly0 ? And how are you keeping yourself safe? What kind of activities or services help you cope through the hardest moments?
I noticed you've mentioned multiple times in your message that romantic love doesn't feel like an option for you. It sounds as if you almost feel shut-out of that kind of life-experience, would that be fair to say? I can imagine that feeling so painful , @bignosegirly0 , when you wish for it so strongly. You're doing really well to put that feeling of yearning into words, to get curious about it, and to reach out for support. You're so deserving of space and time and understanding.
I wonder if anyone else hear on Community has ever felt a similar kind of yearning, and what helps them find comfort?
