I'm so distraught. I've invested so much emotionally in him. I haven't protected myself enough.
I need to be guarded more, not open my heart like this so much and then have nothing left when nothing comes of my longings.
I'm off work now (and am still on probation there!), as I am just a crying wreck without enough sleep.
I'll try to go in tomorrow, as I'm currently doing the destructive thing and go through everything that hurts me so much in my head again and again.
I better sleep or try to distract myself now.
I think I'll never ever have a relationship with a man or be really loved by someone. It was hard enough to give up on the wish for a biological child, but now I think I should just also give up to ever really be with someone. I'm not feeling loveable or worthy and get into this way of thinking that having hardly had a relationship at my age means that something is wrong with me. And being on my own (in the flat) I'm trying hard not to get into this spiral of thinking that it wouldn't matter really to anyone if I just wasn't here any longer. No dependants, nobody to leave behind... I shouldn't even go there.

Loneliness is a difficult feeling, but it's pretty universal. I wish I knew what to tell you, but ultimately I believe you can find what's best for you! I read something this morning about putting a rubber band around your wrist and snapping it anytime you have a "negative" thought. That thought sort of made me laugh...
When I'm feeling overwhelmed with loneliness (sometimes I can tolerate being lonely pretty easily), I try to make myself do something for someone else. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't.
Wishing you the best!
