I know it isn't the same as having people with you face-to-face, but we are here.

Thank you I know you guys are here for me. I never doubted that. It's just that sometimes I feel like I'm just not loved, no matter what.. that nobody loves me, in the entire world.. and no one will. I don't know why. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I want "too much" love. Or maybe I'm just too needy

I've been feeling like this for a couple of days.. but I didn't want to bother people with another topic. But after a while I couldn't take it.. I had to get it out somehow. Sorry about that..

I understand...I think.
I'm alone as well.

We are not alone here in a way though

[MickeyCheeky]

I'm sorry you're alone as well You deserve much better.

I'm alone too. Just know you're not the only one that feels this way. Hope you find a hug ��.

You really aren't alone. We're all here to support each other.

It's a pain to see so many people here who are alone as well.. I can't speak for myself, but I'm sure none of you deserved to be treated this way. I'm really sorry. I guess that's one of the reason we're all here.. to help each other and feeling a little less lonely. I care about all of you.

Hi Mickey

And good on you for speaking out, no apologies needed whatsoever!!!
Do you think that maybe you are really loved IRL but perhaps depression is putting a dampener on the way you feel it??
Maybe that "emptiness", "gap" or "something or love missing" is much more about the depression than about reality??
Or perhaps some people in your life aren't used to showing love so much despite feeling it??
If so I'm not sure whether talking to someone close to you about it may help??
But either way, you know you're not alone on here, right??
And not only not alone, but you're also deeply appreciated by lots of people on here, so really hoping that you can (if not right now, then at some point soon) feel that from people out there IRL as well as love.
From what I know of you, you deserve to be loved.

Thank you, Alison You may be right. Perhaps I'm loved but I just can't feel it.. not sure how to change that, though.

Hi Mickey

Well feeling it can sometimes be real tough with so many negative thoughts which can go around in your head in depression..........but coming to believe they love you can be a great step in that direction..........and in talking to someone close to you..........maybe they could give you some positive affirmations or reassurance on that score............I don't know, some people are more capable of that than others..........
Otherwise maybe you could break things down a little e.g. can you believe or feel that they care about you, can you believe or feel that they would be there for you as much as they can be/are capable of, can you believe or feel that they want the best for you..........those kind of things...........and perhaps those questions could add up to believing or feeling their emotions towards you a little more........
And maybe there is some evidence of their feelings towards you if you reflect on some of the things they have done for you/said to you...........perhaps that could help you feel some of the warmth/love they feel towards you...........and I know depression can be cruel so in this please remember that at times most of us will have done/said the wrong thing to someone we love, intentionally or unintentionally so please try not to zoom completely in on the not so good things...........
And maybe you could need them to show their love in some different ways than they do to better feel it?? E.g. if they don't usually hug perhaps tell them that you need a hug right now.........if that isn't usual then it may seem uncomfortable, but it might be a start........but any different ways which may help you feel it more.............
Just some thoughts..........
