Well, I would say that in my case both, depression and loneliness
that is, are at the same time the cause and the result of the other.
I know it may sound confusing, as it even does to me, so I´ll try to
explain:
*being lonely all the [censored] time causes me to feel extremely
depressed, to the point of considering suicide for a fourth time.
*since I am extremely depressed, I tend to drive even those
kamikaz...er, brave ones who try to get close to me [a number
that by the way, has been zero lately] and since I lack the
confidence or willpower required to do anything, I don´t try
to even get a bit close to anyone as my mind and past
experiences have taught me that pretty much every attempt
will end in rejection.
*now, as I have driven everything and everyone away because
of depression, I sink into the depths of isolation, which by the
way, increases loneliness even more.
*go back to step one. rinse and repeat.
