Unbearable

I don't think I have ever been this depressed and lonely before. The only thing I've been making sure I do, is make sure my best friend, my cat Gratzi, has everything she needs. I don't know whether to feel sad or pathetic, because my cat gives me more love than any person ever has. I am greatful for her company, but it would be nice to have feminine companionship that doesn't call me ugly or just want to use me.

Thank you scaredandconfused.

Feel free to shoot me a PM if you ever need someone to chat with, ok?

Thanks, you do the same.

Thank Heavens for our pets--I don't like to think where I'd be without mine either.
Hope this tough spot is a short one for you. Keep posting and I'll send good thoughts and virtual hugs your way.

Thank you MommaD. I don't know what I'd do without my cat.

You also have us!

Thank you Mickey and Fuzzy.

Well the holiday just got worse and I didnt think it was possible. My daughters returned the letter I sent them, unopened. Their mother did her work well. ��

I'm sure how appropriate this is, but I want to smack the **** out of your ex. And I'm a pacifist.
I really hope your daughters will see past her ******** at some point. You don't deserve this.

Please know that you're not alone.

Everything you said describes me perfectly too. Cats accept us unconditionally. And I also try to be positive and think that maybe there are people who accept us for what we are but we are too controlled by our depression to see it. I know that's too easy to say and so hard to actually put into practice but at least it can give some slight sense of hope.

I appreciate it So and Isolated. I'm feeling very tired and old. My one Xmas wish to not wake up this morning, obviously didn't come. I am so tired of being the nice guy and paying for it with solitude and emptiness. Each day that passes without seeing my daughters destroys a piece of what little I have left.

I often ask myself why I be a kind, loving and giving person. It has gotten me nowhere. For once in my life, it would be nice to have the one and only thing that would make me feel warm and know that my kindness is meaningful.

My cat is great. But, it would mean everything to have a tangible person that cares. I have never felt that. I sincerely hope everyone on here is having a better holiday than I am. No one should be alone, crying, and wondering what they've done wrong, or what makes them so hideous and horrible that makes invisible, unless someone needs something.

I'm sorry for your pain, you don't deserve it. Your ex sounds like a very cruel woman, putting it politely . I will not post my uncensored thoughts

My pets saved my life. In my experience, we go step by step. First, we need to survive. And your have your pet already, then we get better humans to relate with. I am sure your better humans will come to your encounter soon.
Sending you a big hug

I am so sorry you feel this way on Christmas. I am sending you my love and saying a small prayer for you my friend. Hugs and hang in there. Hug your cat for me too

Yes, we do need our furbabies. Mine is a lifesaver for me! It is hard not to have a special person in your life. Try to treat yourself with kindness. Hugs.

Thank you everyone.

We may not be as cute as your cat, but we're here.

My circumstances are different but I could have written this myself. Also feeling tired and old, my kindness towards others is rarely reciprocated, I'm unbearably lonely, and if it wasn't for my dog...

I've spent much of this holiday crying. Went to church with a friend, grabbed a bite to eat afterwards, and cried my eyes out all the way home. Today, Christmas Day, went to a movie with that same friend and went out for Italian afterwards, and cried my eyes out all the way home. Partner took his life 2.5 years ago, my parents are gone and my siblings have nothing to do with me. As dysfunctional as my family was, I miss having a family at the holidays. And the cherry on top is losing my job as of January 1 and a toothache that is going to require removal and an implant just as I'm losing my dental insurance. I'm losing all hope, having panic attacks about finances and wouldn't mind not waking up the next day, either.

I'm so sorry your holiday was lousy. Sending you a huge holiday hug. Your daughters have no idea how lucky they are to have a Dad who cares; mine certainly never did.

I am so very sorry for what has and is happening to you Pam. I will never understand why we good people get the shaft, and the selfish, cruel, greedy, and so forth, get whatever they want and take it for granted. I sincerely hope things get better for you.

I feel your pain RJ. I don't know what I'd do without my pets. They save my life every day.

Pets are people too
