Really need someone to talk to

It may sound counterintuitive but go volunteer. By helping others, you can help yourself. You'll make friends and it will help alleviate some depression symptoms. I looked at your profile and it may help to redirect your focus from food onto something more positive. Talk to yourself the way you would talk to someone else. You can make positive changes in your life.

I'm sorry that you are feeling all alone. I'm pretty sure we all go though times like this, and if you like I would love to be there for you. You can always talk to be about anything. Just message me. :drinker:

Been there felt that way.. I'm here if you want to chat feel free to pm me... it will get better. ( YOUR NEVER ALONE ON MFP)

Feel free to add me--I love getting to know people. Hope you begin feeling better!

I'll be your friend if you want? I'll add you

i can understand how you feel too. feel free to add me on here

Hi I can understand how you feel and it's so nice to see so many people offering help and support. Everybody goes through similar feelings at different times of their life and most feel so much stronger when they come out the otherside. The difficulty is the journey you are going through now. Please feel free to add me if you think I can offer any support to you or any others. Hope the support you are being offered through MFP helps

Hi there Brighteyes

Boy, do I know how you feel. I'm sure most of us at one time or another have felt completely friendless. I am also encouraged like M11ekd in how many have offered support. It's a great feeling being part of a community of people all trying to get healthy and reaching out to one another at our point of need. I'm really encouraged by that. I'd be more than willing to friend you and if there's anything I can do to support you, I'm open. I think Mamamudbug had some good advice though about volunteering. I know when I have felt the lowest, going out and trying to do something for someone else that didn't benefit me at all, not only shows you're friendly and open to friendship but it definitely fills up that lonely place in your heart when you do something for someone else. It definitely helped me when I was in that place. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm also on everyday.

big hugs. I am much the same i have 2 really good friends but hardly see much of them so apart from seeing my partner on the weekends on dont see people

I know exactly how you feel and people telling you to do various things is really hard when you have no self esteem or motivation and no matter how down you feel pulling yourself out of the gutter is so difficult. I am (was) in the same situation except I'm not a gorgeous 18 year old women with my whole life to live, that is definately a positive for you.

I have recently got myself a Personal Trainer and the last few weeks have been so positive for me. My Personal trainer has not only been there to help with my training and diet but motivationally he has been superb. Its certainly going to be a long hard struggle for me but by training, losing weight and being motivated my self esteem will return and gaining that positive mental outlook will help me achieve my goals and turn my life around. I'm sure you can do exactly the same as I have already said you look far better then me already so please dont beat yourself up.

Again if you want to PM me for any reason please feel free to do so.

I've been where you are for most of my life. I don't make friends easily and move so much that the few friends I do have end up miles away. I'm in South Korea right now and have days I cry because I have no one here to talk to. I have volunteered sometimes with some success. I have also used the web page meet in. Especially when I was new to town it was hard to meet people. It's all volunteers that form groups all over. I loved some of the people in the Philadelphia group and they had sub-groups for running, biking, book reading and plan events like attending a concert or sporting event, a BBQ, beach outing etc. so you can do things your interested in and meet people with similar interests. I'm not even sure if I can write about it here, but I'm not affiliated in any way and it's free. Maybe there's a group near you. Feel free to friend /message me!!

I am a loner know people but would n't class anyone as friend. It helps to volunteer I do it for an animal welfare and my dog and I visit people in hospital to cheer them up. Does n't work for everyone but maybe local school or brownie pack. Children rarely ask awkward questions and accept without judging.

You are not alone always MFP folk there to support and share with you.

Well, you're certainly being proactive here asking for them. Why not do that in real life? Join a club, church, volunteer, and as soon as you meet someone you click with, ask them if they want to hang out outside of whatever you're doing. Like lunch or whatever. And invite them again later on. It takes a while to establish strong friendships, but if you put in the effort and the time and realize it won't work out every time, you should be able to make some friends

Hello there beautiful. I know how it feels to be lonely sometimes, I just messaged you and I would love to chat and be a friend. (((hugs))) to you and lots of sunshine!
