Tonight is a party that my ex is going to with the girl he's now interested in. I recently had to leave behind the entire nightlife scene and everyone I know because I had to stop drinking. We were together for five years and most of it was unhealthy and f****d up but it's still a difficult transition.

I dont know I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm creepy now
I should just die

it's usually teenagers who get suicidal over rejection. us older people usually can find other reasons to live. having a pet is one. being politically active is another. having friends (like you have on WP) is yet another. enjoying a hobby can be one, too. there are probably as many different reasons to live as there are people.

I have all that it's not enoug. My life is empty and pointless.
So I went and bought a lot of snack food

have you ever heard of making a gratitude list? you think of something that starts with "a" that you're grateful for, then "b", then "c", etc. by the time you get to "z" you usually feel better. i was single for most of my first 52 years (was engaged for a couple of years in my late 20's). when i was not having psychosis, i generally felt that life was worth living. a special relationship can add meaning and joy, but making it the only thing worth living for puts too much pressure on the other person and may drive potential mates away. perhaps some re-prioritizing is in order.

People gain happiness and fulfillment differently. Just as there's no one race, one job for all or one type of sexual choice.

For you and others a relationship might just be an add on that means nothing overall, but for many it's everything and their whole point of existing. Even if I had billions of dollars I'd never be happy alone.
I never said it's the only thing. If I had a relationship but none of my hobbies I'd probably be unhappy too. I can't stand alone I'm not programmed to be alone. I'm a social person. We rely on others for happiness
Others aren't and rely on activities and objects for happiness, all good for them I'd never ask they be like me, why am I continually demanded to be like them.

I am a constant pendulum, so defining the moment seems pointless...

My grandmother is close to passing, and I don't know what I should do. My dad is reaching out to me, but I'm not sure how I can help.

Minus some number. She passed.

Transitions... Big ones... I feel like giving in to just feeling empty and daydreaming all day.

Edit : -5

my relationship means a great deal to me. i just don't base my self-worth and entire happiness on it. it's a healthy choice.

That's real easy to say when you have a relationship and it's a sentiment often said by people who have relationships. You hardly if ever hear it from single people who desire relationships.

It's a sentiment of often seen from the haves on any issue or subject.

You just don't get it. Which is lucky for you.

Als again I don't base my entire happiness on it
But let me put it this way would you be happy with a car that only has two wheels and just drags on the other side?
