Dont want to go on

[Givingup]

I wake up with sharp chest pain and chest tightness and go to sleep the same way. I take an anti anxiety pill and antidepressants but they don't work well enough. I'm all alone and not understood emotionally or mentally. In my religion there are many holidays and I must spend them all alone. I raised children on my own but now they are all grown and have no need for me and dont care. I dont feel that I belong on this world any longer. There is no reason. I never really felt that I belonged like most everyone else. Why should I keep fighting for nothing? Yes I do have a therapist.

We understand you here. The loneliness is the hardest part sometimes. But you are important and the fact that you are reaching out to us means that you feel the same way. Life can be very hard, we know that. But also realize that there are better days then others. Let's focus on having a better day and building on that. That's great you have a therapist so you can feel supported there. And we are also here for you. 💕

Keep your head up!! The loneliness really is the HARDEST part, but you are NOT alone. We understand you here. You are not alone. We all feel this way from time to time, but it's not permanent! You can do this! You can make the change, starting today. We can help you! Reach out when you feel this way, we can talk to you. You have a place in this world... you can do this ♡

You are definitely not alone. And I use to feel like I didn’t belong. And was better dead. But I back tracked where did those thoughts come from for me and from my personal experience it was low self esteem and no confidence or self worth. Well #1 You deserve to take up space here just like everyone use. Why? Because Why not? Self esteem is way of thinking, feeling, and believing in yourself. Accepting yourself and comes from within. Write a list of your strengths and weakness. I bet you got more strengths than you think. For me I have bad anxiety . Generalized anxiety and OCD. Have you ever noticed anxiety comes and goes. It doesn’t feel good at the moment I know trust me. Especially panic attack. Maybe grounding techniques might help. I hope any of this helps

What grounding techniques are you talking about? Putting your feet in the grass? Or something else. I was told that by a homeopathic Dr. I too feel lonely. My anxiety and insomnia have put a wedge between me and most of my friends. I’m so tired from lack of sleep and not myself at all. It’s easy to give up hope of ever getting better. My only hope is in God. I hang on even if it only by a thread. I’m speaking to all of you and myself: don’t give up. This too shall pass

Ii get tons of anxiety and feel the owner is Fear. Sometimes suddenly my mind wakeups and I remind myself wow I’m driving my car just like everybody else I drive the speed limit I try anyways it feels good I wake up and realize I’m an adult not a child I got control and power just like the rest of the people around me. Or I’m sitting down on the couch and look around and start looking at my shoe size I’m like wow those are big shoes not little and what am I wearing jeans,my hands, my fingers and so forth etc .. awe they look nice etc ... that’s one grounding technique I have others

I’m with you on God..

I’m sorry I didn’t address the loneliness. The more I become confident the easier it to speak to people such joining a group /people with similar interest like you on meet up.com, church, volunteering, gym, things like that

[b1b1b1 in reply to Hidden]

I agree. If your religion has many holidays, join a church, mosque or whatever is appropriate and attend services on all the holidays. You can also try to do some volunteer work on these holidays, perhaps in connection with the same religious institution.

I do also know what it feels like to be lonely as I felt it for many many years...I was physically,sexually,emotionally abused from ages 4-10 years old and beaten so bad once that my hip was broken. I felt so alone unwanted, I’m going to post my story for as I feel triggered , I prayed for death everyday. What 6 years old does that ?but God would not answer my prayers . So I volunteer at times when I’m not to depressed at assisted living homes Hospice patients (people who have 6 months it less to live)and visit with them because they are going to die and they are lonely and nobody really ever comes to see them. I even had one guy tell me he’s llonely and when Am I going to come back ..That always gives me perspective and gratitude . I get relief and my makes me feel better. But I can’t hold on to those feeling unfortunately I forget and get depressed anyway.You’ll see my story posted as per I am very triggered now and Down when I remember how much I suffered but I found my purpose as an adult . Have you found your purpose in life,? Are you passionate about anything ? Do you have anything that interest you?

[lovedogs51511 in reply to Hidden]

That's very admirable of you to volunteer with hospice patients! Wow very cool. I'm so very sorry you were treated so harshly. Nobody has any right to do such horrible things!! Glad you found your purpose. Very inspirational☺😊 Thank you for sharing your story!!

[Givingup]

Good idea, but hard for me to do now.

[Hidden in reply to Givingup]

I’m sorry it didn’t help. Definitely hard to get into right away. Perhaps make s lists of things all that things that interest you to want or something you want to go on for. Anyways take care!

[lovedogs51511]

Oh man I completely and totally understand how you feel!!! There's absolutely no reason I'm here and I can't find a reason to keep on living anymore. Your never alone cause we all know that feeling. Depression is the hardest thing to live with. Do your kids ever ask you to come by and see them? I don't have kids so I really know how it feels to be all alone especially on holidays! I've never been accepted by anyone and its making it more than difficult to keep living. Life is Hell especially when you suffer from depression and anxiety!!! We're all here for you ok! Your very important☺😊

All of you are an inspiration to

Me. I am having such a down day. Have had problems with sleep since June. My days are exhausting. My anxiety paralyzes me. I once was real active, did lots of things with friends, had a job. All that changed when I couldn’t sleep and got high anxiety. The only thing I have to hold onto is my faith in God. I have a good friend who understands because she has gone through this. It helps to talk to her.

It helps to be in this site or I would lose my mind. Thank you all for being there

[Hidden in reply to anxious61]

I am diagnosed with that so I can relate to you. It never seems to ever go away for me . Like it’s always there I have to talk my way of of it sometimes. Once i was driving and suddenly it came on I couldn’t get on freeway drove side roads finally pulled over took my Xanax and sat there. Closed my eyes for 5 mins and told my mind to shut up a couple times and that I needed to get there( where I was going) and I got on the freeway and I was fine. I take meds for it
