I don't even know what I'm doing here.

I've never talked to anyone about how I really feel but I can't keep feeling so anxious and upset and angry every day. I hate talking about my problems because I don't want to hurt other people with what is hurting me but maybe talking anonymously to someone will help. I'm desperate to try anything

So, like many people, we have private lives we don't care to share with other people for very good reasons. So welcome here! So tell us what you would like to share, other than foul language, bet the members of this community combined, have listened to just about anything you need to talk about.

I have depression and anxiety too. Paxil works for me with a boost of lorazepam when the anxiety is high. Talking helps me too. I hate being alone so just having someone around helps. I have found in many cases 5hat the more you talk with people, the more people you find that suffer with similar things.

Hi , yes you can talk to me, I've had 5 really bad years, my god I've though of ending it, but you can't cos other people need you. Loneliness is really hard, people think it only happens to old people, how you feeling today x

Thanks I appreciate it. I'm so glad you're still here and I'm sure the people around you are too! Honestly today is rough which is why I finally joined this. How are you?

[Hidden in reply to itsfine]

Hiya, thank you for your reply, tell me why has today been hard for you. My problem is what's happened I have to accept it, I am trying to get back in work, been on sick 5 years, and my god it's not good, I need structure in my life, I have to much loneliness, and to much time to think,I am-sick getting on wiv normality of standing at my kitchen window and seeing normality . I feel I've lost a purpose in life, I had loads of friends in my 20,s now just feel so lonely xx

I kinda understand how you feel. I haven't been able to get over my situation either but that's probably because I haven't confronted it and keep it to myself. My advice to you is to enjoy every minute you have with your daughter (I hope it's not weird but I looked at a couple of your posts to better understand your situation). Maybe taking that step to get back to work, even though I'm sure that will difficult, will help you gain more custody for your daughter. Trust yourself, be strong and try to branch out to find people you can connect with

Thank you so much for your kind words ❤️👋

New here, too. I think just being able to vent will help. Don't feel like you're hurting someone because you need to express your anxiety. When you listen to your friend's problems, do you feel pained? Probably not. If anything, it probably makes you feel grateful that someone trusts you enough to reach out. Better than suffering at it alone.

Thank you, that is a really great point.

This is a safe zone for those suffering all the same things doctors don’t know what to say anymore because they don’t suffer but come to this group and we all know as we suffer together x
