Hey everyone.

I have a fairly good life. I don't really have any friends, but I don't particularly mind too much. My family is usually good enough, but sometimes I do get lonely.

At night time, I'm alone with myself. I hate being alone and I know I'm going to wind up alone for the rest of my life. (Once I move out, I won't have anyone. I'm not good at making friends and I am not attracted to either sex.)

At night, I have time to think to myself every minor thing I have done or said that was wrong and I have time to dread the future. Sometimes I get really angry, sometimes I cry. Sometimes both. But mostly I just get really sad.

I find that I am only happy when I am distracted, as I am during the daytime when I watch TV, talk with people, play games, go places, etc.

Is it normal to feel depressed when you aren't being distracted?

How can I truly be happy? Do I have to distract myself for the rest of my life or is there a way to be happy without that?

    For the first time in months, I sat down in a chair without any distractions. I cried for what seemed like hours. I'm sorry you have to go through that. I'm pretty much the same as you right now. I am also sorry that I can really help you because it's hard for me to be happy so I wouldn't be able to help you other then to tell you that you aren't alone.

    I think people can have their deepest thoughts when they're alone, and usually I feel like a common time for these thoughts to diffuse are at night time when people find it difficult to sleep or something like that. And those thoughts usually make you feel depressed.

    I get it a lot when I'm lying awake in bed at night. I think its because its a time of relaxation and rejuventation, so your mind just naturally goes into all these different thoughts. Then it brings out all these weird emotions, and feelings. I think I do my best thinking into the late night hours, especially when I'm in bed alone. Its probably the saddest hours too.
