Oh yes, I feel intense loneliness every time I'm deeply depressed, like I'm the only person in the world who understands. But I've come to see a bit more clearly that this is a symptom of my illness, not a true representation of reality. There are people who love me and whom I love out there, and there will be others.

The meds I'm taking have eased some of the pain, as has me joining this forum recently. I'm also in a depression support group, and I'm going to my second meeting tonight!

Keep telling us how you feel, I care about you and am sending you love.
