Went back to one server where left a bit due to feeling overwhelmed with bunch of new people. It was nice to be back and chat as I was feeling lonely. I chatted a lot and told them.
It's usually like I'm lonely, chat, feel lonely agan, no energy, want to chat. It's a cycle.

Things can be like a cycle for everyone, not just our community. I think the internet has been wonderful in recent years for giving us places where we can engage when we need/want to and can pull back a little if we need a break.

It's definetly true. I don't remember having such needyness before. Now people are available for you 24/7 thanks to online enviroments. I was needy, but not in this level. I've been feeling void inside too.

Reaching out is helpful if you're feeling lonely Ran.  Do you have a therapist who can also help you work on this?

Not right now. Only person I've talked to about it all is an helpline person. I have psychiatrist appointment coming up on the 22nd of December, where I'll try to get referred to a psychologist or something as I have no funds for therapy on my own.

That sounds really hard, Ran. I'm really glad you've had the helpline - reaching out there when you're struggling takes courage. It's also good that you have the psychiatrist appointment coming up; that's an important step, even if it feels far away right now. You deserve proper support, not just to manage on your own. In the meantime, you're not alone here, and it's okay to take this one small step at a time.

Thank you. Hugs. :hug: I feel that there has been some progress. Mostly been talking to a guy what has kept me distracted and also I didn't freak out if he didn't understand me fully, but he was calming me down. I was triggered by some stuff. But I'm proud I was able to handle it much better than previously.
