Loneliness

[franalexes]

wrong start again, right from the "get-go".
It might not be what is good for you, maybe it's good for THEM.
Time spent serving others is more rewarding than sitting on your ass waiting for the world to come to you.

You need more help than this site can provide. Fran has one possible solution for you. You need to talk to someone that can really listen to you and help to guide you. Regardless of what you think of churches a priest will listen to you and his service is free.

It feels as if there are sentences missing from your posts. I'm not really sure what you're trying to tell me.

Am I under attack here?

I'm just looking for a bit of support.

Should I just delete the thread? Can I even do that?

Why would you think that you are under attack? You wanted to express your feelings and find some support. Fran simply gave you one solution and I expanded on it slightly.

My main point though is that the members here are not qualified to give you professional help. Many members will gladly contribute to your thread and try to help you. Your best help though will come from someone who has the training and background in psychology and that person is best able to help on a face-to-face basis.

Fran's tone seemed a bit dismissive. Maybe I'm reading them wrong. If I'm wrong: sorry.

I don't think Fran was being dismissive. She is a very sincere person in situations like this.

I wish you all the best and please don't do anything to harm yourself.

There is this tug in me, one which I am not a stranger to. A rising compulsion to cause at least a little bodily harm that would take my mind away from everything else. I imagine this is what cutters experience.

It feels like the only form of release available to me. All my friends are either in college or working all the time, so I have no one on whom to depend.

And I always internalize my pain for prolonged periods. This is new: my speaking about it in such depth.
