Am so lonely without love that sometimes I just don't want to be here anymore. Not having anyone to share my life with depresses me. All I get is disappointments and heartache. Don't think that true love exist me.

I feel the same way sometimes... But you have to look at what you do have going for you in your life and trust that when it's meant to happen it will....
Thanks for this!

Having a loving relationship exists. But it's not out of the fairy tale books. Usually, it's looking back on it, that you recognize coming together was magical or what have you, not my top word choice.
It really takes self focus, to get yourself to a level of sensitivity to the other, if you want sparks to be there. It's hard work.
Find yourself, find your other.

Best Wishes, as you traverse this.
Thanks for this!

Yep. Know exactly what you mean. Don't know what's keeping me going. Lack of a local hardware shop i think. :-)

To overcome depression self love is absolutely crucial.

You are not ready to be in a romantic relationship right now. That kind of love only happens once you love yourself. You will know when you're ready because you won't have these thoughts of ending it all if you're not in a relationship- because you will be happy even just being alone. Love is meant to compliment your existing happiness, not to create it.

Keep reaching out to others and LOVE YOURSELF.

Until I learned to be happy on my own, I found only abusive, unstable, or deeply codependent relationships. The year I kicked depression to the curb and started to love myself, I fell in love for the first time. Lead others by example and love yourself the way you want others to love you. I promise they will.

Sorry if I sound like I'm preaching! But i struggled with what you're going through. Know that the reason you aren't finding the love you crave is because you're not ready, not because you're not good enough or that true love doesn't exist for you. I swear on my life it really really does and you will find it.
Thanks for this!
