I have been very depressed and lonely. I sleep whenever I can, it seems, just to escape how sad I am when I'm awake. I know this isn't good for me, but in my dreams there are plenty of people and characters for me to interact with. Ever since I moved two years ago I have been extremely lonesome and my sadness seems to infect every part of me. I should be enjoying these years, but it seems impossible with tears always in my eyes.

Have you ever thought about writing about those characters in your dreams?

How come you feel so down?

I would but they are vague; not enough hard detail for me to hammer out who and what they are onto paper

I suppose my dreams say a lot about me. : (

I'm down because I am very lonely and I haven't much to do as a result. I long for closeness and intimacy, which would have been easy before I moved. I feel there is so much wrong with me, the only time I can be pacified from doing something wrong is to sleep. Thus, I have been sleeping an unhealthy amount.

I am also a PTSD survivor so that's a whole different thing. :cry:

I went to sleep. Sorry for my lack of response.

You seem like a nice person. I hope things are better for you today.

What is different about your environment now from where you lived before? In terms of cultural and social context... or even what you were doing in your last situation, school/work/?
