I didn't understand that you just wanted to talk to someone, although the title says it. You wrote about having problems to keep a conversation going with someone. I thought it was about that rather than really needing someone to talk to because you felt distressed. I knew you've been going through tough stuff lately so I could have thought of that, and now everything makes sense.
Also, I've had a hard time myself, that's why I posted not a lot lately. You can always send me a message when you want to talk. I don't have a lot of friends, like most people here, to talk to, so I've got time.
