I've had a really rough week, I did something rather stupid so i'm reluctant to go out to bars etc with my friends and I've had a cancer scare but I have only told my two best friends who are away, not my other friends.
I haven't seen any of my friends for two days and I just feel so alone, i'm really stressed about the results of the scare but I just don't know what to do. I was supposed to be meeting friends for a walk tonight but they've decided not to and I just need them so much, but they're just so wrapped up in themselves so I just don't want to tell them anything.
I have never felt like this before, I just feel so lonely and just need to be with someone, i'm nearly in tears and I never cry and i'm really contemplating drinking on my own, which I never do, it just seems weird.
What can I do to cheer myself up? I just don't know what to do any more.

Parents? Any friends?

If it's really that bad try omegle, chatroulette, speak to strangers...

Samaritans? (When they're open...)

I've felt like this so many times. Not for the precise same reasons ...but reasons quite similar.
I totally understand that you really need some friends around you to keep you busy and your time occupied, but sometimes friends don't realise how much you need them in these dire moments. A few months ago, I went through a pretty awful breakup and felt completely lost and broken. When I called up my closest friend and she mentioned that she was a little too busy to come see me, I felt even more alone. Like, completely deserted. But I then realised that she, at the time, didn't realise how much I really needed her. I wiped my tears, and kept myself busy, with the radio on in the background (radio shows are really good when you're feeling alone - just listening to the chatter going on really helps, I find). And I always feel better when I do something productive, so I organised some files, tidied my room a bit, and went for a walk on my own (with a radio show podcast in my headphones).

I hope that helps. If not, feel free to PM me and I'm up for a chat

By not telling your friends what's going on, how are they supposed to know that you actually need them? They may well be busy with their own lives but, assuming that they're good friends, I'm sure that they would like to help out given the chance. So it may be worth contacting them and explaining how low you're feeling at the moment as company would do you the world of good right now by the sounds of it.

Sorry to hear you're having a tough time, hang on in there

P.S. failing that, I find that a good film and some chocolate always helps!

Yeah I've had three friends letting me down seperately tonight, I suppose they don't know though so yeah. Can't really talk to my parents about it either as they're scaring me a bit.
Thanks for your advice though!

Thanks for the lovely message. I'm trying to keep busy, ended up scrubbing my floor whilst listening to the beatles... bit strange haha, I just didn't want to be tempted to drink as it just seems weird that I was gagging for a glass of wine, whereas I only drink socially. It's just weird how texting a friend or talking on the phone just isn't the same as being with someone, I've never been very emotional like that.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, but they have a holiday to look forward to and that's all they talk about so they're pretty busy with all their shopping, beauty, hair etc, I just don't want to ruin it for them. Thanks

Haha, sorry, I don't go on here that often. I though the "warning points" might mean you indulge in a bit of trolling? No offence meant.

Yeah I forgot to add, you're always more than welcome to drop me a message too if you feel the need, but other than that I would ignore warning points, look at his lovely gems.

Oh, no, I'm just a bit naughty sometimes.
