Feeling stuck, don't know what to do

I make an effort to remain realistically optimistic, but am having a hard time. I'm feeling emotionally out of sorts, to the point of physical illness. My life feels like a chess game; in which, I've made too many careless moves and left myself in an ugly position. The battle is not lost, but every option looks bleak.
I'm struggling with some personal issues, which I don't want to talk about here. I feel disconnected and alone in my struggles. I've spoken to no one about the way I feel, or the specifics of my current situation. I have many wonderful people in my life, but somehow feel that I can't tell them about any of this.
I am lonely, but don't know where to turn. I need to make changes, I need to get my head straight. There is a voice in my head telling me that no one will understand.
Just needed to make a bit of a rant. If anyone has kind words, or can offer support: I'd appreciate it. PM me, if you like... It would be nice to open up to someone - and easier to do with a stranger, in private.

Hello!
If you don't open up to someone, whether it's a professional/friend/stranger, then you're probably going to remain at a standstill. I'd strongly suggest that you talk with the wonderful people in your life. They're wonderful for a reason, right? They definitely care about you and are willing to lend their ears. Having someone listen to your issues and possibly offering their perspective/advice could be really beneficial. I don't know what your situation is, but at this time, try really hard not to listen to that voice that says "no one will understand" because someone will understand...but you'll have to take that first step and share your story with whoever that may be.
Don't give up hope. Remember that if there's anything you need or are struggling with, then you need to speak up, so others can help you. Does that make sense? Anyways, I hope that was somewhat helpful.

Thanks for your replies! I'm feeling a bit better today, but my mind is still troubled. I think that not being open enough about my issues is my biggest downfall.
I appreciate the gesture. I certainly will PM you, tonight. I was thinking about it, but just have been so mentally drained.

Thanks for the kind words! I was able to open up a little bit, to a friend of mine. It was the first time I'd seen this friend in years, so I didn't spend too much time talking about my problems. Nonetheless, being around a positive person helped me to clear some of the negativity from my mind. As far as understanding, the rational part of me is sure that there are plenty of people out there who would be able to empathize. It's time to stop listening to the voice that tells me to keep it bottled up.
Helpful words, indeed!
