Alone

[BadJoker]

I feel alone and empty all the time. I don't know what to do anymore. I just want to curl up in a ball and disappear ...

Been there too your not a lone just recently got out of that whole but dunno how long before I'm sucked back in

I'm feeling the same way. I haven't gotten out of bed yet today, and it is 12:00 noon. I need to get up, but don't have the effort or energy. Everything seems hopeless.

I know how you feel. I have felt that way many times. Today I did not want to get out of bed. I forced myself to get up and go out and do something that I used to love doing. I didn't enjoy it, came home and cried. I keep telling myself nothing lasts forever and the way I feel right now will change.

Is there something like reading or watching a favorite movie that you like to do? Do you have a hobby? Anything that you can do to make yourself better? I know it's hard but we have to just keep believing that we will feel better.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy it. I don't really have much I enjoy doing only going out to this lake that relaxes me sometimes but I didn't have the energy today. I'm trying not to rely on drugs but I can never seem to get going.

I used to live near the ocean and found the water relaxing. I know there were times I would forget that.

Yea sounds amazing. Took a vacation a few months ago to cape cod and it was amazing. Wish I could go back

I'm feeling the same way so I know what your going through. I've been crying for three days' I went to therapist today and was still crying I'm scared. My husband doesn't get it and thinks the meds are causing it. I have no one.

I'm sorry to hear. I hope therapy helps and that you understand that even if your husband doesn't understand that apparently we aren't alone

[BadJoker]

Thanks everyone. I appreciate not feeling soo alone anymore

I certainly know how it feels to be lonely. Other than work I'm alone all the time. Suffered for years with anxiety and depression and it's taken its toll on my life. Most of my friends and family have moved on, I can't say I blame them they just got tired of my excuses not to attend different events. So now I have nobody. So you are certainly not alone, it's part of the illness. Just do whatever you can to stay positive. Good luck.

I know how you feel. I constantly feel that way and it's been like that for most of my life. You use the same words as I do to describe the feeling too.

You have my empathy, I feel like you do, I call it living in hell. Now that I found this website I tell myself I am not alone - it does help. We can share how we feel, I am sorry there are So many people out there suffering, I wish I knew how to make myself well and I would gladly share it with everyone. Apparently we have faulty amygdala's, It would be nice if they could find a common drug that would make us all well again. I hate being depressed what I find even worse is the monster anxiety it really stops me in my track. I do what I can coloring, word search, read if I can, and even a little non violent TV. I tell myself if that is all I can manage then that is it, and do not beat myself up. Hang in there sister, we are out here for you and care very much. Sending Love, Peace & Serenity.
