Alone

[Mel91]

Most of the time I just feel completely and utterly alone. I feel unwanted and like nobody wants to talk to me, see how I'm doing. Or just wants to have a conversation with me. My life is at a stand still and everyone else is going on with their lives and I'm not important. Not a lot of people know about my depression, I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me or feel like I'm a burden, someone they have to keep an eye on. I just want someone there for me, to be with me when I'm at my worse.

I am here. How are you?

Hi Mel, I am sorry that you feel like that...I have had my low days as well and I have been able to speak to individuals here that have really helped me. I am here. You can message me anytime. How are you feeling now?

Mel91,

I know exactly how you feel. I have suffered from unexplainable anxiety and panic attacks for 3 months now. Although, I have not suffered long it almost seems like an eternity. My first panic attack turned my life upside down. Now on medical leave from work and school. And having people drive me around due to the fear of getting another panic attack while on the freeway is annoying. I just want my life to be normal again. I know this comment isn’t very up lifting but just know you are not alone. Word of advice, don’t give up. There is hope. Trust in God.

Hi Mel I emphasise with how you are feeling. Whenever I feel like this I find it helps me to turn it around and ask myself questions ie I am there for others? If not then I can't expect others to be there for me either.

Also are you there for others when they are at their worst? It also seems that maybe you are making the natural mistake of expecting others to be mind readers and know what is going on with you without being told? Can you tell your loved ones when you feel like this? You would also need to tell them how they can help you as they probably don't know.

I hope this helps a bit. x

I just want you to know after reading your post that I can relate to how you are feeling. Regardless of whether or not you want to talk to anyone about how you are feeling, it is ok to seek help so you can feel better. I have often felt I didnt matter and that my life is going nowhere, too. Sometimes you have to reach out to someone even if they aren't someone you talk to every day, try to make time for enjoying the company of other people. I struggle with talking to my friends and family about my depression. Many of them have no idea and very few actually know about it. I slowly started telling them a little more details over time until they basically knew that I was struggling with depression. I know even if you dont want to, sometimes you will need a friend or family member that knows what is going on so they can check up on you. I just recently started seeing a therapist for the similar things you say you have been feeling and I am hoping that it helps me learn how to cope with it. I wish you all the best and I am here if you ever need a person to talk to

Boy oh boy do I relate to this... I feel like people just get tired of talking to me and don’t have the time for me.
