Hey there!

[Troubled95]

Hey! I’m new here. I don’t know how this will work but I’ve been feeling very lonely and depressed recently. I feel like I’ve lost the will and I’m only 24 years old. It’s killing me

Hi ,you have come to the right place, you will find people who care and are very supportive when you need someone to listen.

Do know what could be causing these feelings? Do you have anyone close to confide in?

[Troubled95 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for replying! I honestly have no idea. I thought the studying was getting to me so I’m taking a break after the bachelors but this is proving to be more stressful!

I got out of an abusive relationship two years ago. My partner used me for financial gain and for physical comfort and married someone else while keeping me in the dark.

I think everything is getting to met at once.

You are welcome.

Yes it does sound like you have got a few things going on and maybe if you are feeling tired or stressed from studies then that might be making you a little more sensitive than usual.

Sometimes it's difficult to see the right way up and you definitely did the right thing by leaving the abusive relationship, you are worth so much more than that. I just think sometimes it all takes its toll on us and you need to be kind to yourself to heal .

You seem to be doing the right things x

I feel so much better after talking about it! I’m overwhelmed by all the support.

Thank you

I know how you feel. I'm crying from the moment I open my eyes as this is just another lonely and sad day. I'm so depressed and that at 44! My children has started leaving home, they are now 19, 18 and 17. The country is falling apart, where I used to own a strong business I have to let the receptionist go tomorrow. Second last of the personnel. My husband is also under immense pressure, working long hours driving to site and back daily to keep the finances going. I feel in the way and absolutely useless. I hate this person I have become!! SORRY FOR NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO HELP YOU FIRST! FOR SOME REASON YOUR POST JUST OPENED THE FLOODGATES. FIRST TIME I FELT SAFE ENOUGH TO TALK. Thank you for that.

You are in the right place. Talking is the first step.. I was very depressed in my early twenties.. you maybe struggling with the stressors in your life... it may just be temporary... you do need to see a professional.. I think you know that...sometimes all you may need is some cognitive therapy just to talk your way through but maybe you need medication...it’s a lot of pressure life...keep talking... you will get through this...
