God I'm so lonely. I have one friend and I really don't consider her that great of a friend. I would never turn to her for comfort or support. I'm almost 30 and I'm dying of loneliness. Does anyone else have this issue?

Just know that you always have friends here on the board! We all love ya! I know it's not the same as a "real" group of friends, however, know that we're here for you. I recently have been through the same feelings and emotions you are dealing with. I'm not sure where you live, however, I can suggest a few things. I live in Chicago, and they have a sport and social club. I've met a few people through there, also, I've met a few people through match.com. I know how terribly awful that sounds, however, just know that it's not all that bad. I've met them all at VERY public places, and have made a few friends through it. Sometimes you have to go through a bunch of unnecessary crap before you find out who your "REAL" friends are...I know. It's all part of growing pains. Right now I'd say I have maybe two or three close friends, and my brother to rely on. It's not the quantity, it's the quality of friends that you have. Keep that in mind. Hope that this helps a bit, and know that we're all here for you!
Love ya

I know how you feel about the lonliness, I could be surrounded by a million people and still feel alone.
I dont live alone I share a house with my sister and 4 year old Neice, but still most of the time I feel alone.
I have learned something though that it doesnt matter how many friends you have that doesnt complete you nor does it make you who you are..Ya I know how hard it is to feel like there is no one around ut sometimes you need to look at the reason why?
Like me for instance I have always been a very social person I have always had a huge group of friends but over time that huge group started to dwindle to only two or three, one passed away one went to jail others got into heavy drugs, and others just lost touch, but the real friends the ones who promised to always be there are still here and that is only two people and you know what that is fine for me right now,.
Sometimes we do things with out even noticing that we are doing it, I meet peolpe but I never call them I get afraid or something I think that if I meet new people and they find out about me being bipolar they are not going to want to stick around or what if they see my meds then how do I explain that or if they see my scars from cutting then what? and thus those questions keep me back from people and alone and lonley..
I would try to volunteer are you an animalo lover? if so the huname society is always looking for peole to help out and it is so rewarding to help animals that no one wanted I would love to do that kind of work but no humane society in my area the one we had closed for lack of funds.
what is something that you really like doing?
think about it and go out and do ityou would be surprised how many people you meet.
good luck hun and the lonliness wotn last forever.
Love and hugs,
Nadine
