It is days like today where the loneliness just feels suffocating. Just going out, being around people, doesn't help at all, not when you feel physical and emotional deprivation. It feels like nobody really understands that, or takes it seriously at all, which just adds to feeling quite distressed today. Putting yourself out there feels pointless when nobody seems to notice you.
