It is so hard to be alone. I have friends at home, but few at school, and the idea of trying to make some more in this state seems impossible. After all what is at all attractive about a young woman who bounces in and out of depression.
Even my friends at hope don't understand my depression and other mental illnesses, so in that sense I am alone. If I look at things from a certain perspective that I will always feel alone.
Sometimes I think that isn't all bad though. Maybe I can work out my problems and during that time limit the hurt done to those around me. Not that I am certain I can.
We are all alone, and we are all not, but I hope you can feel the benefits of being alone and the benefits of sharing your pain with people who understand.
