We're all in this together people.

UT, the Cellar has been treating this disorder for years.

Word.

I wonder if they accounted for "nobody around to call 911", or if they're just counting that as part of loneliness.

I can attest that this place has been invaluable* to me on multiple occasions for the treatment you refer to. And my health insurance covers the premiums too!**

*this word should literally be in that other thread.
** tip mug time.

Do you think I can get aeroplane tickets on the NHS?

Good, cuz I'm fat, but I ain't lonely.

Never have been.

Even when I was alone.

Too many McMansions. And too many cars sitting for hours on lonely, 'bumper to bumper' expressways. The modern life is killing us!

Amen brother! I'm doing my part: I live in a hellhole and I'm unemployed. Now if i could stop loving interwebz And movies and gadgets i could go totally off-grid. :lol:

Well I'm a fat bastard and I'm lonley as well so i guess I'm fucked then

Real loneliness is not necessarily limited to when you are alone - Bukowski

perhaps I should have put this in the poetry thread though. Either way, we're all doomed

And it's something that you can't fix about yourself, isn't it? It's something someone can do to you. When you've gone out on a limb to trust someone with your heart, and they betray you, attack you and eviscerate your self esteem, leave you for dead. You can be in the best shape of your life, high IQ, command an exorbitant salary, live in the center of popular culture, and wake up, bolt upright at 5am, slammed in the face with the visceral, glaring reality that you're all alone and don't remember what it's like to hold someone in your arms, to be comfortable trusting someone to get close to you. Everywhere you look, people happy being together. And you're pushing people away, because your heart has been torn apart. Suffering in isolation, insomnia, depression needs a better word. You didn't do this to yourself. If this is unhealthy, this is murder.

Meh, there's plenty of fish in the sea.

Sorry, Flint. :(

Jesus man, that's a deep cut.
