Forum rules
We ask that users looking for general, ongoing emotional support post in this area of the boards, and that you use this space to both ask for, give and receive that support primarily from each other, rather than from our staff and volunteers. As a staff, we simply are often too overextended with all we need to do in running the organization and its services to do that for extended periods of time, and one of our main aims of our community at the boards has always been to facilitate peers to better be there for each other.
Users often report that they have no in-person peers they can talk to or seek support from: we want this to be a space for online peer support and somewhere everyone can get some practice asking for, getting and giving support so that doing it with people in your lives feels more doable.
Please remember that neither staff, volunteers nor your fellow users can provide or replace mental healthcare when that is something you need. Users struggling with issues like anxiety, depression, abuse or physical health issues are strongly encouraged to seek out qualified, in-person help with those issues in addition to peer or staff support.

Being lonely
I was just rejected for the 5th time.All different people all different times. But with this last one it brought out my biggest fears which is being alone.I don't mean alone like without friends. I mean alone without of love!I am pretty sure I feel this way because when I was 10 years old I was raped.After that I felt completely alone!So I think the reason why I think fear this is because of that! I don't want to feel that way again!

Re: Being lonely
Hi Lolools,
It looks like you had a conversation about all of this in our chat service recently. Is there something that didn't get addressed during that chat that you're in need of more support around?

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
