Why do i feel so alone even though I'm not?

Question

I have this amazing boyfriend, who is always very supportive and caring. But i feel so alone, I dont feel like he understands that I have to cry myself to sleep just to wake up in the mornings. I feel so alone in this world and feel like no one really cares. I have no idea why I feel like this. I have always been able to put on a front and give a fake smile that everyone always thinking i am just happy bubbly person who is always very enthusiastic. Deep down all I want to do is run away and start all over again.
I just want someone to give me some guidance. I cant explain why I feel so down and sad all the time. I feel happy for a few moments and then it just goes. I then feel lower than I did before and the smallest things can set it off. I try so hard to make things right but it doesnt seem to work.

hi

do you have a feeling of "there must be more to life than this?" sometimes i think we can all feel like you do, so youre certainly not alone in this respect, and we all feel quite unfulfilled as human beings. we have the ability to do anything on the planet we choose to do and our lack of grasping these opportunities can leave us feeling flat. i dont know if youre at all feeling like this, but one thing you could try would be to help others - volunteer to do something, this can give you an enormous sense of wellbeing and purpose.

youre feelings toe=wards your boyfriend are probably just a manifestation of feelings about yourself - wow, that sounded a bit like a psychiatrist or something!!! ha ha

seriosly though, have a think and let me know if this may be the case? if you feel unfulfilled, then other aspects of your life will feel dull. we can fix this my friend. trust me. please email back

Hi,

Thank you for answering back. yeah i guess that could be the case. sometimes i just find myself locked in my room and crying for hours.. sometimes over the most smallest things and i just think to myself.. "why is this happening". Do you ever get that? I have been thinking of helping children actually. Not sure how/what to do though..

hi, thanks for emailing back!
brilliant that you would like to get into helping children - if only there were more people like you, thenb the world would be a better place. hmm, not sure what to suggest about how to get into that. maybe try googling just that, and look for anything in your area.
I think this could be exactly what youre looking for and it will give you something to focus on and be proud of and you really can make a huge difference to the welfare of others with no gain to yourself - this is the true definition of a good, good person.

Hi, I hope you had a lovely Christmas and Happy new year!

To be honest, over Christmas I felt really lonely. It was tough. Sometimes I feel like my family isnt really a family, they all live together and eat together but we don't ever talk about real issues. My father has has like a million and one problems with work and stuff and its always so upsetting around the house. Its hard when you watch all the family Christmas films; I just think about how much I want that life.

I have been googling a few Children Charities and hoping to get involved over this year, thank you so much for your advice.

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
