Lonely

[Greenbooks82]

Just feeling lonely tonight..

[Taaajaca]

Me too. Hello.

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

Hi there. I should be in bed but I can’t seem to wind down.

[Taaajaca in reply to Greenbooks82]

I know that feeling all too well. I was up until 3:00 last night.

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

Do you live alone too? I’m divorced.

[Taaajaca in reply to Greenbooks82]

I am divorced too. I have my kids, but they are older teenage boys so they are never home or never want to hang out with mom. Just me and my 2 dogs most of the time.

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

I have two cats and they are good company.

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Greenbooks82]

I have dealt with suicidal thoughts since I was 12

[Taaajaca in reply to Greenbooks82]

I’ve been thinking of adding a cat to our family. Pets help a lot I think. I have dealt with suicidal thoughts since 12 too. It’s rough isn’t it?

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

Yes it sure is! It seems to come in waves. I went three days last week without changing my clothes or showering.

[Taaajaca in reply to Greenbooks82]

I do the same! I really do! I had to pick up my son from his dads today and went in my jammies and didn’t even brush my hair

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

I am so embarrassed that I do that! Sometimes getting in the shower takes a lot of energy. I try to stick with my basics..food, sleep, shower..and if I can do those three, I’m doing good.

Maybe they will come up with a cure for depression soon

[Taaajaca]

I hope I have some good days coming because I can’t handle many more of these bad ones

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

I feel you. I’ve had a bad wave lately. What kinds of things help you cope?

[Taaajaca in reply to Greenbooks82]

What about you?

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

Reading, music, friends, and exercise if I can get my butt off my couch.

[Taaajaca]

Reaching out to friends seems to be the only thing that helps me lately and I don’t have very many so it kinda sucks.

[Greenbooks82 in reply to Taaajaca]

Same here. I’m an introvert, so being social takes work

Your not alone, many good people here will reach back to you. Maybe write more about how your feeling too.

I really can't say when it started but I can say for such close to 20 years now I also hate to try new meds
