This forum has been my main source to vent my feelings about this and my depression for years... I hope you find some relief in loneliness by coming here to post about it.

I do try to think about things in a balanced way and be fair to myself. Sometimes it all gets a bit much though. I’m not really into (making) art or music, but I think I understand what you’re saying – some kind of constructive, creative project? I’m not so naïve that I think meeting someone would instantly solve my other problems, but, seeing as I’m already trying to care for myself, I think it wouldn’t hurt to at least have a chance to find someone new.
Part of posting online is definitely just having a way of getting frustration out of my system. If nothing else, it means it’s no longer inside me and maybe I’ll hear what other people think.
