Have any of you ever felt so lost and alone so often that you can't even imagine yourself ever being happy?

Question:

Are there actually people out there like me? I wonder sometimes. I feel so different and insignificant all the time, day in and day out that I have gotten to that point where I can't even imagine myself being able to smile and be happy. I can tell you why I'm like this or should I say how I ended up being like how I am now. It was rather a gradual process. But it is a really long story.

Do any of you did or do experience this? I am not talking about an every now and then mood swing problem rather more of a permanent depression syndrome sort of thing.

hang in there chic.i fight this all the time.i chose to be alone and will not hook up again until i meet the real one.right from childhood i have had to contend with lonelyness through circumstances i can't discuss here.what i do know is that a child that may have been mistreated often has problems later. i now am very cautios of offers of friendship as i have been ripped so many times,even in adlthood. i was always to gullible looking for friendship or love. being lucky in love i allways believed was reserved for others so took the frst hint of love that came along. boy what aprice to pay. although alot has happened in the past i never gave up believing things be better.after alot of soul searching i realised that i'm not a bad bloke and i would not allow myself to be used,put down or be treated as insignifficant anymore. i work for myself, have an ongoing physical illness and p.t.s.d. and as of next tues start art classes. it has taken me along time to mix again but i wll never give up on myself. happiness has eluded me for along time and now that i realise you have to love yourself first then you can trust again. i saw my three grandkids for the first time and their inability to hate taught me alot. you must learn to love yourself, go out and mix and seek out the genuine ppl in this world,they are there. never stop believing in yourself.love and friendship are not far away. i share your pain.
