Put a tw in this just in case it upsets anybody but I just wanted to say, I've seen a few different stories of lonely/depressed/mentally ill people committing suicide lately and the way they felt is exactly how I feel when I'm at my worst. And they all seem to triggered by loneliness, and not having enough/any support.

What it makes me realise is that, we're all not alone. We may feel it, when you're in that horrible, dark place it feels like you're the only one in the world. I know. I've felt it all too often. I've felt it tonight. But I'm not the only one feeling it.
I know that there are people out there who've felt exactly the same as me tonight. People out there who felt so lonely and desperate and worthless and in pain that they contemplated suicide.
I just wanted to write this to put it out there that, while you're feeling that, it feels like you are the only one but you aren't. It's good to remember that. There are millions feeling the same at this exact moment. I personally find some comfort in that. Even though it's horrible, it just makes you feel you're not alone. Don't give in to that horrible, all consuming darkness.
It's just tricky because people are ashamed to admit they feel that way. I'm one of them. I hide it from the world.
If anyone ever wants to talk to me, please message me. I can't promise I'll have any answers or say the right thing, I'm not always online so I may not always reply straight away. I've just seen too many stories recently that have made me think that I wish I could have talked to that person and made them realise they weren't alone.
You're not alone.

that's a really lovely post star dust and i just wanted to leave you a hug xx

Misey loves company, it's true. And it's not a trite, pithy saying. There is real comfort in knowing you're not the only one going thru something. And others who have not been there, aren't quite as comforting, either. Physically, I'm not alone. I have someone who loves me, but they can't understand. And I get to feeling very lonely.. That's why PF is my second home.

Remember that runs both ways, what you said, sweetie. Only a PM away it you need to vent.
