I know what it's like to be alone... to be surrounded by people, family, neighbors... to be in a crowded room full of human beings... and still feel that aching, yawning pit of despair in my heart. This is not pain you can just "get over". It takes time, and good friends. And the willingness not to give up on yourself. It can be both the hardest and easiest thing to rid yourself of. I dare say it's the cruelest thing you could ever do to someone. And I wouldn't be surprised if, through this suffering, I have glimpsed a small part of what it is like to be in hell...
I cried one night. Hugged my pillow to myself and just sobbed. This is no fiction, my friends... this is real. This is me.
I know what it means to be alone. And y'know what? You're not the only one who's felt it.
To my Packmates and all those who feel that ache in their heart... I know how you feel. And you're not alone anymore.

I had a night similar to this, where the pain didn't seem to fade. Then I heard this, "Rest my child, for I am here for you. For I bring you peace in this night, and joy in the morning light. For my love for you is eternal, and I will never ignore you, nor would I ever forsake you. For I am here for you my child, and I will keep you with me in my arms... keep me in your heart, and your faith in me strong. For I am of love, forgiveness, and salvation; the one who was, who is, and will always be. Rest now, my child, and know that I am God"
am I going crazy because I heard it spoken to me like someone was right next to me.

'Tis a rare thing these days to hear the voice of God. Way back when, in the time of the Apostles, it would only have been met with praise and shouts of joy. These days, it might be met with skepticism and scoffing.
Count me in the former group. Only God would say such words to you in your darkest moment. =)

Nice concept for a commission. Sad but I think most anyone can relate to this. I feel like getting to know myself and making myself do the things I loved helped a whole lot. It's interesting to see how people cope. I hope you still have a good pack to keep you connected. Suffering can make us stronger and I hope you're doing well :3
Just wanted to say that I love you for what you are, and who you are. I sure as hell experienced the greatly depicted emotion of lonelyness as drawn above, I know how much it hurts. Luckly I haven't had such a night in quite a while, instead I cling to a pilow but with a warm feeling instead, since I'm no longer alone.
I swear... if you ever find yourself as lonely as that again. I'll come to you and you may squeeze me instead of that pilow.
My love goes out to everyone in need.

Thanks. I appreciate it. Might be a long plane ride though; I live in North Dakota. X3 One of the few places in the world where you kinda need someone to hold four months outta the year. Having a cold bed always kinda got to me.
God willing, I'll fill it soon. Life is too short not to seek out your desires.

*hugs* I know how it can be. Best thing you can do is get outta the house more and find people to hang with. Local furs are at least a start, and if nothing else, you can visit your favorite haunts.
It just requires a little effort is all. Not to mention maintenance, which can be difficult... but worth it, wouldn't you say?

I write to myself all the time. =P Keeps me from going insane. Or at least any further.
You can write to me, if you like, but you really need real human contact. You can't get that through the internet. And if you try to use it as a substitute, it may not work out. Didn't work so well for me. Please do try to make a few friends, especially ones in your area. Checking out the local furry group would be a good start.

That's more than some can say. Be sure to look after your heart as well; can't live life if your heart isn't being nourished. Whatever soothes your soul, pursue that, at least once a week if not once a day. Whatever makes you come alive, pursue that as much as you can. It may lead to your calling.
It's hard..... really hard to deal with. you think you find someone to help with that loneliness only to have it blow up a few months later and have it all come crashing down . all your close friends move away leaving you with no one to hold to hug to maybe find contentment with friends . to be in a room full of people you barely met but know on telegram seeing them all hug but feel left out..... I know personally what you're going through and it will get better there is always the darkest before the dawn
The desperation doesn't help. People know by instinct that it's trouble waiting, and they don't want to make the mistake of giving affection only to find you clinging to them. Takes a very strong and wise person to handle this kind of loneliness. I'm still learning how to myself, but I think I've made some strides in helping others. Just takes a bit of patience and self-control. A loving and compassionate heart helps a lot too.
As for my own loneliness, I just need to learn how to handle my anxiety so I can work on fixing that. Maybe kill two birds with one stone by getting outside more. Or at least to a local coffee shop to mellow out and work on my writing. Can't make novels by sitting on my butt! And I hear more guys meet their wives in coffee shops, so I may as well try that.
In any case, thanks for the encouragement. Heaven knows, I need it! Take care of yourself and God bless.

I've been living with this for 10 years now. It's damn painful. Recently, I often notice thoughts of suicide. I have absolutely no friends. My family does not support me at all. It's really scary. To be all alone. Cry in the pillow at night. This feeling does not go where. Going nowhere. Everyone with whom I spoke about this absolutely do not understand me. I am currently diagnosed with depressive personality disorder.
I'm not depressed myself, though I've had thoughts of suicide in the past. While I don't know if I'm in a good place right now, it's better than where I could've ended up. Please seek counseling, if you haven't already. A good therapist can help a lot. And yeah, the pills suck, but they can help at least a little. I pray you find the help you need and the healing your heart longs for. Don't give up hope. Things will get better someday.
