Man, I know I comment on a lot of your stuff - I promise that I'm not an internet stalker, you just happen to be involved with things that interest me.

Talk to us about it! I have had a few sessions with a Psychiatrist when at my worst mental state and personally, I found it incredibly helpful. She was a pair of ears who refused to let me sugar coat anything - I became brutally honest with myself and it helped me cope with things very quickly. From my talks with close friends, talking to a professional might only be applicable for certain people. I know many view them with distrust as they are literally paid to listen to you and help you - and that sort of detracts from the emotional connection you're undoubtedly craving. But! If the option is there, maybe give it a couple of sessions?

Failing that, talk to us here!

Hey, I always appreciate a good comment. Besides, you're a cheerful fellow, and I don't have many of those in my life. Shit, even chatting with you does good to my mood and general feeling. So, thanks for that. I appreciate it very much that you keep popping in and cheering me up.

I'll give it a shot anyway: there are plenty of issues with my head worth fixing, not just that I'm terrified of being alone. Might as well talk about this.

I was afraid of talking to Hubskians because, well, I didn't want to come off as needy, which I did plenty of times before. This seems to be less of an issue right now, which is a point of small pride for me. Thanks for the offer. lil got to me first while I was in a better mood today, but I appreciate the offer nonetheless.
