I'm hoping for love after all this time and trying for a long-time to find someone it's hard to believe that one day I'll ever find that loving relationship.
I thought at least I had closure I've accepted that a loving relationship, marriage, having a family of my own just isn't in the cards for me. I struggle to even establish any type of connections let alone romantic ones. Even though I've accepted this reality it still doesn't stop from the...
I saw my ex in hopes that maybe there would be some change. But I just came away like honeysuckle. I felt like I was begging for scraps any little bit of attention from her. I've been single most of my adult like and I don't what it feels like to have someone that actually loves you and wants to be...
Ive been rejected more times than I can count online dating sites do nothing for me other then confirm that attempting to find love is just an excercise in futility.

With the exception of a few texts from my immediate family I usually spend my birthdays having dinner and a drink alone. How does everyone else spend their birthdays when you basically don't have anyone?
These dating apps are absolutely soul-crushing unless you're incredibly good-looking, get lucky, or have an incredible confidence to make it through all the rejection.
The weekends are hard for me because I occasionally I'll see an event I would like to goto, a movie I wanted to check out, or a restaurant I wanted to try. But than I remember what's the point of just going somewhere filled with people while feeling utterly alone.
I've tried therapy and even anti-depression medication neither one of these treatments are for me. The sad thing is that in my work I deal with a lot of mental health patience and seeing what they go through made me realize a lot of doctors counsellors actually seem to make their patients worse...
