Loneliness or depression?
12 years ago
General
Every day I struggle with a feeling of loss. This is the summer of my life, and I should be spending it with people. I have difficulty establishing and maintaining friendships. Coming back with my art has been a way of reaching out. Trying to prove that I'm worth talking to. But every night I don't want to go to bed, because I'm alone. And every morning I don't want to get out of bed because I'm going to spend the day by myself.
What else can I do? Do I join SecondLife? Do I join the Florida Furs list? Do I put my AIM name and Skype name here in hopes someone will contact me and a friendship might begin?
I'm trying to make logical steps to change my situation for the better, while still being cautious and not going too far. Loneliness can make a person vulnerable, so although I recognize the need to be careful, I also need to stop spending the rest of my youth all by myself!
Sorry for the sudden change in tone from the previous entries.

I use both Skype and Second Life to help ease the sense of isolation, but Skype is a little more accessible so you can multi-task.
Would you like to chat some?
Don't let the sadness ruin your day, try to live life to the fullest and always gives it your best every day
One full of strife and loss
And how they turned it around.
They had struggled making friends
and though he had gained and lost
He never knew where to begin.
A person to which he confided had said
"Do not question, merely do, lest you abstain"
And for a time that man was at a loss
Uncertain of what it had meant.
Then one day he decided
that his life was his own,
and fears and hesitation be damned.
And so he moved forward
And through unsteady starts
began his life anew
Though with every stumble
and though his path did crumble
His friends he had made, would not.
They stuck by his side
with every bump on that line
he had painted to plan his path.
And with those words spoken
by the friend years ago
He gained what he'd lost
and felt renewed.
