Fear of tomorrow

[Skydreamer42]

I hate being alone. I'm too afraid of rejection to communicate with the people I care about. I wish I knew how to establish relationships that don't fall apart, relationships I could rely on when I need them. I'm so afraid of rejection, so stressed. Fear of failing has me in a panic. I'm all alone.

You will be okay ❤️

This might seem like a weird question, but do you have any animal companions? Or better yet, is that something you might like to consider? I find that, when I feel isolated or afraid of rejection (or even when I am rejected) that being with an animal helps me to feel in a better place. I'm sorry you are feeling this way right now. Are there any people you do feel at least a little comfortable talking to?

I couldn't possibly take care of an animal. I'm unreliable enough in my self care to make the care of another being inadvisable. And I'm poor, on disability income where making ends meet and putting anything away is a challenge.

Sorry you’re feeling like this. Panic stinks! Loneliness is lousy. You are not alone because you have this group and perhaps others. Do you have a therapist you are working with. Cyber hugs to you!

My appointment with my therapist is tomorrow morning, which is why I am so stressed! I haven't had an appointment or needed to go out so early in ages!

[Needtovent in reply to Skydreamer42]

Good for you. I will pray it is useful and that future appts can be scheduled a bit later. The best therapy requires ‘work’ in terms of self reflection and then practicing some of the strategies you may stumble upon. So hang in there. Let us know how it goes

I almost feel like crying with the stress and loneliness in me, but I appreciate your support, Needtovent. I appreciate having someone consider my position and be empathetic. It's a bit too rare for my tastes that I have someone who cares.

Thank you, Needtovent for your support.

You’re not alone. Just always remember there’s people that do care about you. As someone mentioned above you also have this group. If you ever need to talk feel free to message one of us. That’s what this group is for, for all of us to help each other in our times of need.

I've gone through periods in the last year where I felt that all of my longterm friendships were gone or disintegrating only to realize once I was feeling better that it wasn't really true - I just felt alone in my problems. People are still there - I can pick up the phone and call them if I need proof. I wonder if this is more of a mindset for you than it is a reality? Are there people out there who'd be happy to hear from you if you called them?

I am so sorry you are hurting. For my finding my value and identity in who God created me to be, helped tremendously. I no longer fear rejection of humans, because we are all flawed and we all have opinions, but God knew and knows you from the moment you were created. He has great value in you. You have incredible worth and nobody can take that away from you.

I have learned to step out, even in the fear, and God does miraculous things. Sure sometimes people reject me, but it no longer has to define me!

I pray that you find value in yourself and come to a place of letting the world see YOU. I pray that you find new peace and fear falls away in Jesus name.
