How many of you feel completely alone with no real support from anyone? Even from people who should be supporting you? I’m just curious..

Not myself. I have amazing people in my life. However I do know how this feels as I have been alone before. It's hard.

I have my family and have just made a good friend, so I have a good support system. Sorry you're feeling so lonely... I hope you don't feel lonely very much longer, Peace and love... Big hugs.

I feel that way -- I don't cope well with it really, but it is what it is.

I am blessed to have my husband. My brother is also supportive, but without them I'd feel alone, too. I've lost and been unable to make friends over the years because of my bipolar. That saddens me.

My wonderful psychiatrist is such a support, but he is getting old, and maybe someday soon hubby and I may move. My therapist has been great, but she told me last time that she is suspending her practice in two months because of family issues. Of course she needs to be there for her family, but it is a loss for me, and surely most of her other clients.

I felt like that for a while, it's gotten better at times. But now that I'm a few states away from my family and friends it's back up to me feeling alone a lot. I wake up feeling like I have no purpose. I usually try to keep from thinking that way, sometimes it just doesn't work unfortunetly. I made a few friends where I'm at now but we don't hang out often, so I'm alone 90% of the time. It's especially worse at night, during the day I can manage.

It is nothing new for me. i have been living this reality for more than 22 years.

My GF is great and shouldn't feel alone but I guess I always have.

I have support but often my Bipolar parts make me think I don’t.

I’m lucky I know.

I am glad that people have found Pc for some it’s there only support.

I feel alone right now. Maybe I should get a dog? What makes it worse is that I cannot go anywhere for the foreseeable future. When I think about this, I become more depressed. I am sure many here are in the same position that I am in.

To sum it up, I am lonely and depressed.

Thank you.

I am alone. It is a horrible feeling.

It was a little upsetting when my psychiatrist decided to set my appointment in two months instead of one. I’ve been seeing her monthly. She is supportive; that helps.

My therapist, I have to see weekly. That helps.

It is hard to see my college-age daughter as a support person. She is someone I take care of. When I was manic and needed help, she just distanced herself and wouldn’t help with medical issues.

I’ve never had any support from any boyfriend/husband. When I was young, I used to imagine that someone would love me and this would be healing. I was wrong. I’ve never had anyone that offered me any comfort when I needed it. Never.

I am done with boyfriends. I’ll never get married again. I think it’s me. I’m too much to deal with, and I’m attracted to men that can’t give me what I need.

in reality (away from online forums) I am all alone. I don't have family or friends- or the friends I do have are pushed away by the illness.

in regards to the forums (such as this one) I have a few people I talk to rarely, but, it helps knowing that I can just post here and be myself

when you know you're posting stuff that others can relate too, it does help you feel less alone. it really does

I am all alone. But, there are many people outside wherever I walk. Too many people everywhere I go. Thus, I am at times happy to just go back to my apartment, hide from the world, and be by myself. I may be all alone but not lonely.

[benzenering]

Support? ZERO Makes it very difficult to keep on going.

benzenering...My heart aches for you. Please keep going. You are not alone we love you.. Well wishes.
