Do you think you'll die alone?

9

i know its hard cos i suffer from depression too i think, but cheer up . it feels like an endless circle of depression but you can break it by looking on the brighter side of things (thats my latest theory anyway). im sure you have things to be happy about. e.g. i know i dont post everywhere on this forum but you are one the people that stand out on here as a great person. if i can tell that from a load of text you just write sometimes then im sure you have many great things to be happy about. sorry i couldnt word that without it sounding wierd lol.

as for dieing alone, i cant say. for me, im gonna just give it a rest with the girlfriend thing for a while. recently i have learned that im not ready for that kind of thing yet, i know im 16 but i reckon im about 10 mentaly. im either gonna wait untill my mind grows up a little in that area or im not going to try with it. time will tell. i find it hard to make and keep friendships, but about 1000 times harder to maintain anything more than that. im just gonna blame my AS for that.

i dont think there ever is a mr./mrs right. if you spend your life looking for them, you will miss whats under your nose. everyone has faults in some way so there are only good matches. you will know more than me about this cos im 16 and will have a hell of a lot less expirience with these things than you but those are just my thoughts. im gonna have to learn to take my own advice with this aswell though, but dont give up or you will never be happy.

hope i helped a little

When I hit my mid 40s I did get married to a substitute. Although I didn't realize it at the time, I know now that the whole point of the marriage was so I wouldn't live and die alone. Bad move. For the last 2/3s of the marriage I was more alone living with her than I ever was when I lived alone.

Two years ago we got divorced and I went back to my solitary existence. I really don't want to live and die alone, but I absolutely will never again just settle for someone just so I won't die alone. Prospects for finding someone are beyond bleak so I'll just continue to take my mind off of that topic with as much activity as I can find. To paraphrase someone else, "the only obstacle to my finding romance and happiness is reality".

ok, you have me a little worried there, believe me i have had alot of similar thoughts before. just dont do anything silly, you will come out of the other side of it at some point. i myself go through cycles, a few months at a time. i think im coming out of the depressive stage right now, probably thanks to this website and chucky. when it comes down to it you CAN NOT give up, if you do your letting your feelings control you, bad stuff will happen then. soldier through it. i have a set of unwritten rules in life that i MUST NOT break, dont ask me why, but i have found that especialy in times where i feel like this, they have helped me. another thing i try and do is fill all my time, i suppose my "obsessions" help with that, that way you can stay busy and those days that feel like eons pass a little quicker.

and the other thing, you arent alone, and im sure if nowhere else, you will always at least have people here to talk to about things.

no, i don't think so

The way things are going, it's quite likely. Though I'm only 19. You never know what will happen...

I probably will, but I am actually not too worried about it as of late. I am more concerned with basic competence I guess. I'd rather be able ask for help at a store, return things, maybe have a few "friends", rather than a relationship that would inevitably end.

No, don't settle. Never settle. You should marry someone you really love.

I'm not sure, but it's entirely possible. I try to not care, although I do think about it quite often. I try to formulate my future so it won't require another person. I'm only 16 and I know I'm probably getting ahead of myself.
