every. single. night.
i go through this. it starts out with being really bored. maybe around 7 or 7:30
then by 8:30 or 9 i am almost in tears.
i am so tired of being alone. i miss my friends. i miss my roommates. i need physical contact with somebody. just a hug. something. during the day it is bearable, but i can't stand it when it gets to be night time.
i try to sleep to see if i can beat it, but i can't get to sleep that early, and once it starts i might as well give up on trying to sleep until i pass out from exhaustion.
i don't know what to do about it. i know i am not the only one who deals with something like this, but it doesn't help to know that.
i am still here. alone. i see nobody all day. i can't seem to make friends. i can't keep dealing with this. i just don't know what to do anymore.
*holds you*
I know that doesn't mean much, but if it could be physical, I would hug you.
Could you maybe see your doctor about this?
It sounds like nights are worse for you, it's when you're most alone, it's quiet, your mind rambles, your emotions flow out, it's very lonely and frightening.
Why do you have trouble making friends do you think? Maybe you could join a club?
I'm sorry you're so alone right now, but you've got us here with you, it's okay.

I feel very similar to you at the moment so I really really feel for you. Is there a bar or anything near where you are or a social area? Not necessarily to drink in, but sometimes I find it helpful to go and sit in there and read a book or the paper or something. There are usually other people around and even if you don't talk to them, it helps a bit with the feeling of loneliness, for me anyway. And sometimes there are other people there on their own and it might be possible to start up a conversation or even just smile at them and have them smile back - it's a start? Sorry, this probably hasn't helped at all! xxx
I used to go for walks when I was feeling like that back at home. I've recently moved so I'm kinda in the same sort of thing. Just sitting around doing not a lot in the evenings. I won't do my walks any more with the amount of drunk people around and recent events have made my social anxiety worst.
Only other thing I can suggest really is sitting talking on Skype, I do that quite frequently still and it keeps my mind off things.
My Scars Remind Me That My Past Is Real
Just to take a breath each day is sometimes the hardest bit to enjoy about ourselves.
I struggle with similar things.
You need to make sure you're doing enough in the day.
Go for a walk or some kind of exercise in the early evening.
Try relax before bed.
Read but do not do anything too "stimulating"
Avoid caffeine
Keep to a routine
Try go to a local club or join a sports team? Making friends will make you a lot happier.
And try talk to someone who you trust, its good to have people around you you can trust, who know how you are feeling.
take care, <3
I feel lonely too ,a hug would be nice .Dont mind the doctor ffs .
Talk here or I dont know
It became like a sort of prison. Encased in a silver shell, words so full of bleeding need spilled like drops on dry leaves. And all the while laughter prevailed a long way from here. Nowhere land, nowhere time, nowhere space.
thanks guys.
things are a little better maybe. i have started reading a book until my eyes just close. it isn't helping me get to sleep any sooner, but it helps take the edge off the anxiety.
it is so funny, i hate going to sleep, and i hate waking up, but i love sleeping. ha.
I hate nights too. I hate loneliness. Weirdly it helps me to have the TV on and some inane shopping channel. For some reason it just makes me feel less alone. Or the news, although the news is invariably depressing so I don't know if that will make you feel any better! For me it's just about hearing another human beings voice.
