Does anyone here believe they are destined to not being in a relationship? I feel this way a lot as I feel like I’m not a desirable person.
I’ve worked hard to be content and satisfied in life but I feel like that’s just gaslighting myself to think that’s what I need to be accepted.
I feel so sad

I feel so empty all the time because I have to constantly validate myself all the time and I get very little external validation at all. I wish I could have provided the link to this video I saw today but being perpetually single all the time and having people constantly invalidating how you feel is having a massive ramification on our mental health.
Again, I wish I knew how to be better. I am such a terrible human

Hi @tyme I hope you had a good break. I am really sorry but I am probably in a worse position now than last week. I cant function, I can barely get out of bed, and nothing is enjoyable. Life absolutely sucks and I hate it so much

It was an okayish break, I guess.
Resting too much has given me headaches!
I'm one for routine LOL.
I can hear your brain is telling you not-so-helpful things right now. Is that the depression brain speaking? @Former-Member

It is probably the depression @tyme sometimes I feel like it is just my experiences playing havoc as well. I went on another date the other day. Same result.

Hey @Former-Member ,
It may feel that way because your mind is telling you that.
Do you talk to your parents much about what is happening?

Yes, but dad just invalidates how I feel and mum has admitted she doesn't know what to do anymore.
