Lonely

[Cat26538]

I feel so lonely. My family doesn’t understand what I’m going through and I don’t have the energy to explain it to them. I’m seeing a therapist but even she can’t seem to help me. I’m a lost cause. I feel like I shouldn’t be on this earth anymore.

Hello Cat26538, I'm pretty new to this site, I do understand what you're going through cause I feel the same. I have tried to explain it to my family and it feels as if I get brushed off. But we have to find it in ourselves to get through it and I know it's not easy but it is do-able.

Thanks. My mom is try to understand me. Her problem is she thinks I’m faking everything.

I'm not saying that this is your situation, but I used to express all of my depression to my family. I think it desensitized them. I don't talk about it anymore.

Wow. I'm in the exact same situation. I'm suffering from OCD/anxiety and my parents never had it and they don't really understand what I'm going through. And it's so frustrating that it's so hard to tell my friends about this because I feel so embarrassed and I feel like it'll just bore them or freak them out.
