I'm truly sorry that you are going through this difficult time. While I think it would be counterproductive to bring out old lines like "I know how you feel," that does not mean that I cannot possibly relate a bit or empathize with you.

One thing I can assure you is that this is not worth harming yourself over or making any attempt at ending your life. Nothing is worth that.

Most of the time, loneliness is based on the problem of not having people in your life. However, you make it clear that that isn't the case with you.

I think your best bet is to see a therapist as that he or she has probably delt with similar cases before. They can help you figure out the underlying cause of your distress and work on a way to get you out of your funk.

It also couldn't hurt to read the book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns. You might even be able to find it in your local library.



Thank you...
