Original Reddit post

I don’t really have any questions—I just wanted to post this so that someone might read me and maybe talk to me. I just want to feel like someone is listening. I’m 24 years old and going through a very lonely period in my life right now—one of the loneliest I’ve ever experienced. I’ve lost friends, I don’t have a girlfriend, my dad passed away, and my mom is my only family. It’s just me now, facing myself, my career, my training, and my projects. The only thing keeping me from falling into a deep depression (though I often feel like I might collapse under my own demons) is staying focused on these things every day. When there’s nothing to do and the silence becomes unbearable, I sometimes just want someone to listen to me or give me a hug. But for now, I always find a way to keep going. I’m not going to give up. Things will change. Thanks for taking the time to read this. submitted by /u/Dangerous-Peach-8008
