Feeling alone

[Runningfargal]

Hi, I’m relatively new, I posted once but mostly just read and sometimes get brave enough to comment. I’m coming out of two hospitalizations and an Intensive outpatient program I just finished. Now I’m down to just weekly meetings with my therapist and it seems like such a huge jump and now I feel like I’m on my own, floating off into the giant ocean of depression to deal with by myself for the most part. I’m not sure I can cope. The IOP was a safe place, it gave you a sense of being supported and understood and then it’s just gone. Now I just feel all the same monsters creeping back in, it’s like I was holding them back just enough with the help of the group and now they are just crashing back in again because I can’t hold them back by myself. Does this ever get better? Is there any hope of getting back to a life where I want to actually live?

I don't have any answers, struggling myself right now but just know you're not alone. Take care.

There is always hope among us. It is in you as well. You just need to find it. Be confident in yourself and think of things which will make you smile.

There is always a reason for us to live. Think of all those who love you. Things will get better. For the moment you are in a difficult battle and I promise you, you do have the capability of winning this battle.

There are many out there as to here who believe in you. You are a special person with so many others who feel the same about you. You need to believe, find the light, then all is possible with much better outcomes. Stay strong. 😊

I know it’s hard. I’ve been there. Did you make connections in the group? Can you try to see them and stay in contact? It seems the group was very helpful.

Sorry I’m trying to stay on here, it’s hard for some reason. I have no way of contacting anyone from group, no personal information could be exchanged so no. I have a couple contacts from my hospital stays and we contact every now and then. Thank you for your responses, it does help and I appreciate it!
