I am new here and not sure how to start off but just really struggling with loneliness and feel depression kicking in. Yes I do have appointment with Dr. I just want to reach out as I feel like when I call friends and people close to me I just feel on repeat and sense they just think I am being negative. I live alone and feel so isolated like the world is happening around me but just feel so lost and awful.😢

Hey @jaylee it takes so much strength to reach out and to make an appointment when we're feeling isolated like that- good on you for being here and for sharing. You're allowed to feel down, but asking for help like you've done is a great step toward trying to change that. Please know you have a place here.
I wanted to remind you of Lifeline if you've considered that as a possible extra support in times you might need a little bit more. Take care

it means a lot to receive your message. Sometimes you get to a point where you are sitting home alone and wondering if the dark days will ever end and your gesture of kind words has sparked something that there are ppl who sincerely care.
thankyou from the bottom of my heart.
