I think I have hit rock bottom when it comes to loneliness! 
I look back at the type of person I used to be- a happy person that loved traveling, spending hot summers at the lake, spending time with family, and absolutely loving my life- but things have drastically changed over the past year. My life is now a complete 360 of the life I used to have.
I was super excited to move into my own house back in February and thought for once I might just enjoy be alone again. It'd be nice to come home after a long day at work to a quiet house to unwind- but boy I was wrong. The happiness of moving into my own home didn't last long.
It's like I have completely shut down from the life I once had. I have become severely depressed, struggling to get out of bed in the morning, very anti-social, I stay extremely tired, and my muscles just ache all the time. I see a psychiatrist and am on tons of medicine, but I'm just not getting any better. I try to fill the void of loneliness- but it's becoming my silent killer.
I hate being single and not having many friends. I see all of these happy people dating and getting married, and it makes me feel even lonelier knowing that I'll end up coming home to an empty day after day.
There is no doubt that depression is coming from loneliness. My question is has anyone else had similar experiences?
