    I know it feels that way sometimes but try your best to take good care of yourself and everything else will fall into place :)

    When I was at a very lonely point in my life, I used that time to focus on myself. I walked for an hour every day after work, then did sit ups, push ups, leg lifts, etc, while watching TV. I gave myself manicures and pedicures. I also joined a community choir, so that took up one night each week for rehearsal. Now, 20 years later, I'm married to a wonderful man and have two sons to take care of, and don't regret the time I spent by myself one bit. Enjoy it! Do things for yourself, read books that you like, watch your favorite shows. This time won't last forever!

    Keep your chin up, I know how bad it can be to be so lonely that you get that "why bother" feeling and then it's binge time (no purging) then the hating yourself for doing it starts and you get into a spiral that you can't get out of.

    I'd like to be like every one and give you a happy ending of finding my soulmate and have so many happy years, but I can't I'm almost 40 and still single (not for lack of trying ... okay everybody start the bashing on me now and what must be so wrong with me that I'm still single and can only get to a first date if it's a blind date.)

    I will give you this, that blue lonely feeling will pass, don't get me wrong, it can come back, but I found a great group of friends that will twist my arm to get me out, I found some activities that take my mind off of it for a while, and I have my music that can change my mood when I'm ready.

    Sometimes its like walking outside after a rain storm and seeing how bright the sky is, all of the sudden, you realize the reason your cheeks hurt is because you're smiling again.

    I'm alone, but not lonely. There's nothing wrong with being alone - I get to work on myself, and make myself happy. I do what I want when I want and I don't answer to anyone else! Maybe changing your outlook a bit will help. You're very young and this is a great opportunity to work on YOU and not worry about anyone else! :laugh:
