Stuck in a miserable place. Whenever I let those close to me know that I'm depressed, they talk to me about maybe it is due to be graduating and not having something to challenge me now or something along those lines. Little do they know that I've been suffering from depression for 10 years now, so while the love behind their advice is appreciated it falls upon deaf ears because I know it won't help because that obviously isn't the problem. When I tell people I'm lonely they tell me I'm not alone because I have friends and family who love me. I'm thankful to have those people in my life, but loneliness and being alone are different things. Being alone is an objective thing of whether you have people to talk to or not. Loneliness is a subjective feeling and my loneliness in particular only occurs when I'm not in a romantic relationship.

Don't know what the purpose of this post was, just to vent I suppose.
