it's a cold world, people. get used to it and perish. there is nothing else. something's not right - you can say that twice: we do only what satisfies us and nothing more. if you're waiting to be found or bonded in friendships, sucked in...
no one comes for you. they come only for themselves, if they come at all.

@Kyle1 it sounds like you're feeling quite alone at the moment. I'm sorry that you feel this way about the world. Perhaps you could try to think of times when people have come through for you?

Sounds bleak @Kyle1 and I've felt that way too. Sending warm wishes your way.

@Kyle1 it does feel bleak, and for us I guess it is. What I've been surprised about is that these forums do help. May not always be useable advice, but just knowing some of these people have been struggling with MH for decades and are still here, still willing to take time to say a nice word of support - that helps.

@Kyle1, if you're not using poetic licence and are really feeling quite bleak at the moment, I can only send my best wishes. I have just gone from feeling bad to worse too. The cards are stacked. I hope you and your family are doing alright.
