[abijeya]

Hi, im abi and im 23 years old im also new to this page....im just looking for someone to talk to, i feel so lonely at the moment, i have no one no friends, my family wont listen...im alone. i'm too nervous to seek medical advice so i started searching online and came across this website, im always talking about being positive and trying to make everyone as happy as i can but some how that little annoying voice in my head is telling me everything negative and i cant make myself happy! i feel like im failing at everything, everything that goes wrong is my fault...i feel like no one is there for me and i feel too stupid to talk to anyone about the way i feel, i try so hard to be happy and ignore that irritating voice but it wont go away, ive tried and tried. im just hoping to find some sort of support on here.

Hi abijeya

Welcome to the forum!

Well done for joining and reaching out. It’s a great step forward.

You deserve to feel better and there is help out there to support you.

Hope being here leads to you reaching out even further eventually and seeking the help and support you deserve.

I’m sorry for how you feel right now, I wish you didn’t feel stupid and like everything is your fault. Not a nice feeling and untrue. We can be so hard on ourselves.

I know for me being in forums such as this , reading posts and making posts, helped me a lot on my journey, I learnt a lot from them...which enabled me to better manage my anxiety and depression.

I’m glad you found us and I wish you well xxx

Hi Abi, I’m a few years older than you and, like you, have been feeling alone and have had difficulty feeling good about myself. This is a great community where we help pick each other up. Don’t be afraid to reach out for medical advice from a professional. It might seem a little intimidating at first, but it’s a small step towards achieving something greater. Feel free to message me whenever you want and I promise to get back to you as soon as I can

It sounds like your thoughts are your enemy. I can relate to this, as I spent years trying to drown those thoughts with whisky. One thing that helps a lot of people is meditation. By learning to concentrate on something, such as breathing, you get away from those nasty thoughts for awhile, and also learn better ways to deal with them. Try some of the guided meditations on places like Youtube.
