I have passed such phases in life and can tell that when you are depressed and alone you feel like there is none in the world there to share your grief and none to accompany you.
This is the most frustrating moment and I think in such sheer moment people commit suicide. It seems as if you are the most unwanted person in this world. But if we can stand that moment may be will never be in such state again.
Have you ever been is such condition?

Many, many times. I have chemical depression and if I don't take my meds I quickly slip into a dark mood. Like you said, it feels like you are so alone and everything is hopeless. Even with the meds I have to be careful to stay away from stressful situations as much as possible. I'm glad you are feeling better now.

The only times I've felt depressed and alone was when I was in romantic relationships. When I am by myself I'm never depressed and I never feel lonely. Isn't that ironic?

When I'm depressed and alone before, I listen to music, however this just makes me cry more and made me more depressed. This time however, if I'm depressed I just pray and listen to spiritual songs. After A while when I feel am relieved I call on a friend, a little chat and after a while we'll see each other at the fastfood for a snack or a merienda.

I feel the same like you described whenever I am depressed. Depression makes me feel very lonely I feel as there is no one in this world for me, who cares for me, who loves me. At such times I hate talking to anyone and I feel like running away from here. I sit alone at such times until I am out from this or else I without any reason starts fighting with everyone.

Yes I have felt frustrated and depressed a lots of time in my life. One such time is my depromotion. I got depromoted and my salary was changed from Rs 12,000 to Rs 9,000 and I am losing around Rs 3,000 per month. Another time was when the girl I felt in love got married to another person. Another time I felt depressed was when I was diagnosed with diabetes. I think most of us get depressed in life some time or another. I think we have to just carry on with our life rather than feeling sad and self pity.

Hi, krajibg! Yes, I have felt like this many of times. I feel that nobody loves me at all. I feel that everyone hates me, and that I will never be likeable. I feel that I will never amount to anything. But, when I start feeling this way, something tells me that this is not true and that God loves me. No matter how sorry I feel for myself. I do a lot of praying to God about my weaknesses. I have felt like I was nothing many of times. I have told my family memebers that I wanted to kill myself, and that there is no reason for me to live if I am going to keep on having nothing. I feel that everything that I have always wanted is taking a decade to get to me. But, I realized that what God has for me, it is for me!

I know this well. I have severe depression. I experience depression on several levels. The first few come upon me very quickly and usually without much warning. I go to a counselor when things get real bad. It helps to feel centered again and my counselor can usually help me do that without too many sessions depending on how bad I get. At my age I also am so used to it and can, at some point, see it coming and I have measures I take to get me back.

Hmm, you didn't include your signature in this discussion, which was your trademark with your postings, is everything okey?
Well, this is life and every phase is bound to come in it. No one can have a full happy life as our mind becomes idle when good things only happen. We will learn things from that phase too. You know like how to become a strong person to fight out the situation. I have been into those and I must say that I couldn't fight out the siutaion as expected. It took me a while to get out of that phase!

I have felt depressed but never alone as I have a family,if I do feel bad about things I go for a walk in the fresh air,or visit a friend works for me.To feel so desperate is really sad and you need to see a doctor or church person who are trained to make you see the good things in life and also let you volunteer for something and make new friends.xxx

Hello my friend Rajib Ji,
I fully understand your feelings. Mu hubby was totally depressed and on the verge of
doing damage to himself, that some inner voices brought him to realize that life is meant
to enjoy , face challanges, everyone is not borne with silver sppon in his/her mouth.
So, he overcame such situation and teaches us as well. He always says, committing
sucide is most cowardly act among all acts in human life. Let's divert our attntion on
some constructive thoughts, instead of simply finding reasons for stressful life.
May God bless you and have a great time.

loneliness creats depresstion and it is to me also. all the worried moments of my past come to my mind and i try to overcome all these. i read some books related to life and share myself with santiago of THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA in fiction. his motto that "the strongest man in the world is he who stands moreover time alone" influences me in such situation.

Hi Shibham, that is great indeed. Essentially every individual is lonesome in the inner cell of his existence. Therefore whenever you feel so you should derive some consolation that you are one of the part of the whole humanity.
Correct the character of Santiago in the novel is the real motivation for life force.

I often feel that way. Not only is the feeling that I am unloveable very strong but also that I am worthless and have no value. Not only do people not understand me, they don't know me...I'm talking family. I'm sure they think they know me but I'm sure they don't.
Luckily, I have my animals to comfort me. They may not understand my sadness and bad feelings but they love me just as I am. They don't care what I look like, what I say or do...they need me. As long as I feed them they will be happy.
