    I'm going to apologize now for any possible grammatical mistakes and the like.

    -------

    Usually I get insomnia when I'm feeling creative and need to just let myself create something, whether it be a poem, a story, or a chalk drawing. It just needs to be creative.

    Tonight, it's not that. Tonight I have this overwhelming feeling of loneliness. It's been happening on and off for the last couple of days. I just feel so alone. I know, it's kind of a dramatic thing, but it's true. I'm everybody's rock, but I've got nobody for me. It's very seldom when I do talk about what is going on in my crazy, confused head of mine; when I do I get blown up on. *sigh* I just don't really know what else to do.

    Thoughts?

    Hmmnn come here and vent when you feel like it. If people aren't responding fast enough, vent somewhere else... at a mirror, a camera, the tv maybe, a wall? anywhere (Yahoo Answers is cool too). I find venting awesomely helpful, especially when things start to feel hopeless.

    In truth, no one really matters more than you in this life. It's not like anyone else can ever live your life..your life is yours. Keep your own personal integrity in mind and do whatever the hell you want! It's your life!! If there are consequences...take care of them as they come. No consequence is too much... they come.. they go. People also come and go. Take advantage of the things that makes you happy and learn from those that don't because everything comes and goes.

    Sorry if I don't make sense. I really do want you to feel better though...

    With that said, I have the same problem as you. I find melatonin to be very helpful. You can get em at GNCs...they're sleep supplements. Google em...they're supposedly natural!

    Thanks, Uniboth.

    I was complaining about the people in my life.

    Thanks for caring, it means a lot. :slight_smile:

    I know how you feel - I get that sometimes too. Quite frankly it tends to happen most at night, especially late at night when nobody else is around (go figure - nobody to talk to so we start to feel lonely!). I try to go to bed a little earlier than I used to, but sometimes work keeps me up.

    In the future, maybe try going to bed earlier (or using the melatonin that Uniboth suggested), but for now hit me up if you're still around. :slight_smile:

    I am indeed still awake, Gravity.

    I've tried everything, to be honest. Nothing works. It's a bit frustrating. I shall have to find some way to capture a sleeping faery, then I can sleep like a normal human being.

    I'll help you capture one if you share. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    So, to take your mind off current lonely thoughts, what are you doing tomorrow? Seeing people, meeting up with anyone?

    The same, actually. College, but school nevertheless. Then my weekly lunch with my ex (don't ask, long story), then probably not much, which is okay by me - a lot to accomplish work-wise this weekend.

    Yeah, got kicked out of the bedroom at midnight, I have no idea why. I get pretty irritating when I do sleep, I whimper, apparently.

    Yeah. It's ok. I was in a bad situation, so I moved out and moved in with him when I turned 18.

    I know how you feel. I'm in high school, and I'm a loner type of person, yet people always tell me to hang out with friends, but no one ever hangs out with me or even invites me places.
    And see what I've felt lonely and depressed about in my question "Was he a friend at all?". I'd love your advice :slight_smile:
