Lonely

[Purple75]

I have been feeling lonely for a while now. I feel like I don’t have support when it comes to me dealing with my anxiety and depression. I just feel like no matter what I tell people in my life about it, it just gets forgotten.

It can be very hard when others don't really hear us the way we want to be heard, can leave us feeling very lonely and forgotten. Do you see a therapist?Please know that we are here to support you!

Thankyou . I’m not seeing a therapist right now . But things have just been hard lately. I have tried to tell my family and friends more about it but I just feel like they just listen to it and ignore it . I feel like it’s just a burden to them . So I just keep everything inside and try not to bother people .

Purple, I have felt that way myself most of my life. It was like knocking my head against a brick wall. Did they not care? It wasn't until I realized they just didn't understand the emotional pain we feel with anxiety and depression. People cannot understand what they can't see. Their thoughts no longer matter to me. I know it's real and I know how to address it.

Come to the forum as often as you need to. You are never bothering us and you will know we understand as well as care. x

Thankyou I’m glad I came here. I already feel less lonely just knowing that there’s people dealing with this and helping each other. Just reading the things I have make me feel like I’m breathing fresh air.

Purple. Have felt like that so often, I just don't bother anymore. I have been told 'you're doing it to yourself', it's all in your Mind and the best one is 'pull yourself together', if only!! Thank God for this Site!!

Oh yes I have heard that too and from people who I would think could understand. But yes I’m already thankyou for this site and the people on it.

[Hidden in reply to Purple75]

Great.

Hey Purple, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I too have struggled with this. And while I've found opening up to be a little difficult, it has been really helpful. I hope that you can find people who lift you up and support you (looks like you have here:))

Take care

It’s not their responsibility to heal you, it’s yours. Don’t waste your time trying to be understood and get to work on yourself. If you wait on the world to understand you, you will be waiting a long time. Get busy changing the way you think and rely on yourself! 🌺🙂🌺
