Why can't I stop feeling sad and lonely at night?

Post Reply New Topic

Because of it, I can never sleep, so here I am up at 3am posting this. I wish I could have a hug, but the ones I get never seem to satisfy, which is probably a problem.

I know how you feel.

Usually when I stay up all night, I'll at some point contemplate for a little while on life, and then I start to feel really lonely and I want someone to be there with me to talk to or to hold. Usually the only way to avoid it is to keep yourself preoccupied. I like to grab a snack and watch South Park or something else that's funny.

Hi kiddo; can't really say why, other than those quiet times at night are when there's the least things to distract us from ourselves, so we're kind of stuck with us.
Been up all night here, half a continent east of ya, wondering similar things.
The cat's around, and that's another living thing present, but the lonelies still come.

I drove 40km yesterday to buy a chair and run errands. I was so sad inside. But didn't let on. My mum says she doesn't understand. No contact with human being except paying for items.

I can sometimes be up till 5 or 6 in the morning feeling lonely. I do not even have an animal I have not really had any friends since 4th July 2006 as most people are only out for what they can get even if they are genuine with their own set of people. SIne I have been in the special needs system till 1977 I see most people as aliens as a result of this and Do not relate to people who have not had the same experiences as I have. . These are the thoughts which go through my head at times till the small hours as well as the lack of suitable job and unfair selection process directed against AS people etc, aso I think about the unfulfilled love life as well. I tend to think that things can always seem worse at night as during things do seem to be getting better the day.

I know how you feel, though for me it's usually mornings that are bad. I get what a lot of people seem to call "morning dread" where I just wake up feeling completely hopeless and alone, and often times I have to argue with myself just to get up and go to work.

Wish I could give you that hug.

I get that too. The internet is a good distraction, but it has pitfalls. Like when other people's activities come up and they're enjoying things you can't do. Anyway, rambling. I feel for you Fickle.

could be its just another aspie routine of yours.

go to bed, think about how lonely you are, feel sorry for yourself.

try to conciously change.
tonight, go to bed and think about something cool. exploration, new cultures, whatever thats fun, just quit feeling sorry for yourself as a nightly routine :]

Sadly, I know nothing of exploration... all I can think of is how trapped I feel.

damn your a hard nut to crack. you must thiiink of exploration, thats the whole point of everything, you're sad cus your thinking of sad things, you're emotional cus your thinking about emotional things,
its YOUR brain! use it for YOUR purpose, and think about cool stuff. starting... NOW!

The only thing I'm interested in exploring is things of a sexual nature.

that cant be ALL your interested in? :I it seems kinda... limited :I

Well, she *is* 18

its still a pretty limited interest. its not something you can exactly fill your day with :I

Sure you can with the right person and some imagination

My thoughts do NOT go a long way. I'm not the idea person anyways... my brain is a dud and I don't feel like showing my face in town.
