Another day alone and I'm overwhelmed with despair. I have no family or friends, no meaningful relationships. I can't remember the last time someone hugged me. Another Christmas on my own, this will be the 35th. I feel empty and depleted of life. I feel like a phoney on this forum, I have no idea who I am. Decided to close my account. I wish there was a pain free way to go. I'm not planing to hurt myself, just fantasising about it. Bye.

Would you like to have some more time to think about it first?
