Feel so lonely

Hi...

First time on this forum or any forum. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar II with major depressive tendencies and social anxiety disorder.

I have just started a big university with over half million students and thought I would at least make one friend. I haven't... I have no one in my life, never had a relationship, live on my own with no one to talk too. Just feel so alone. I don't know what to do. I try and reach out to people but they don't want to give me a chance. Sad face.

Just thought someone might have an idea as I don't know what to do. Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear how you feel. I've been told I'm bipolar but I don't know. I feel as lonely as you do. It's horrible isn't it.

you can talk to me anytime you want. I just looked up beyond blue because I feel worthless right now.

life goes for a long time (sometimes) and you'll meet people no doubt about it but if you don't or feel like you're not you can talk to me and I'll try my best. I need help too

Hi Douls.

I am so sorry to hear that you are feeling the same way that I do. It's horrible but it is nice to know that someone out there understands.

Thank you for replying back to me. Have you found a way to cope with the loneliness? its just so frustrating.

How have you been? I really don't know what to say but thanks and sorry that you feel lonely as well.

I do understand I'm not quite sure what to say either. I tried some medication and talking to a psychologist but it was all text book stuff and not any focus on my problems I guess. I left feeling worse.

I hope you find a way out of it or meet some people that understand you.

you are clearly smart and focused if you at Uni and odds are there will be someone or many there that feel the way you do. Join any clubs at Uni you can and that you will enjoy and you're bound to find a soul mate friend amongst the crowd

I've got friends but I mask it best I can and find solace with my 2 pups which is kind of sad but I'm so grateful for that.

Every day is a battle and just coping as best I can I guess

for sure you'll meet someone at Uni though, it's not as uncommon as you think, the way you feel
