I need someone or something to help me keep going. It’s been six months since I had a bad night like this one. I have been able to control and tame my depression and anxiety but for some reason I feel like nothing has changed.
I need someone to help me. I need someone to talk to. I need someone to be there for me. I have parent, I have siblings, I have a boyfriend yet I feel so alone in this world. I feel like I lost everyone. I need help.
Hey there,
You are absolutely not alone. I felt this way today. It wasn't the greatest. Sometimes the anxiety, panic, and even some depression slip in. The symptoms aren't pleasant and sometimes it's extremely frustrating when no one else around you seems to fully get it. There are and will be days when it seems like all that taming goes out the door. But....hold onto the days where things went well, you kept yourself together, you coped, or whatever it is. Make notes of those days so you know that no matter how bad this moment feels or is...there is light.
Thankfully, I can promise you this board is filled with people just like yourself. One day everything is amazing, and the next we experience a bit of a fall. Every person here has been there. Use this place for support, to vent, or even let us know when things are going super good. You aren't alone in this world at all....you do have everyone that you have in your life and now you have the full support of this board. We're always a mere message or post away. And really, just keep working with your anxiety and depression, not so much against it. The more we allow, process, and cope, the better we come out of it. Above all else, know that you are not lost, you're on a path with countless others trying to do their best. Best thoughts to you and take care for now. If we can help in any possible way, please keep reaching out. Tell your story if you like or what's even bothering you. For now, please be well and allow kindness to yourself while you cope and manage.
Thank you for your kind words. ❤️ they mean a lot to me.
I’m scared to go to sleep because I know when I wake up I will be alone. I live with my bf and he’s gone all day for work. I have time off from work because of summer. I already feel mentally alone idk if I can handle being physically alone. I hate that I have to depend on other ppls presence to feel complete. But at the same time I want to sleep but i can’t because I have so many thoughts in my head.
That's understandable. Sometimes I feel like this as well. Do you have something that can keep you occupied or make you feel more confident in being alone at home? I always think the worst case is I can call someone. It might be worth proving to your anxiety and anything else you're dealing with that you can and will make it through this. Relax for now because all is well. Try not to fear the future events or put much thought towards it. Maybe you put together a chill music list or work on a hobby that you've been meaning to get to. If we occupy our mind, it cannot occupy our mind with negative thoughts and ideas. For now, if you can get some sleep, try to. We are at our best when we've had a good night of rest. And if things get difficult tomorrow, ask some people to chat with you on a post. Plenty of people do this on here and I always see responses. You can be alone...it is temporary...and you will be okay even if your mind says otherwise. When you realize what you've done, it makes you and your mind stronger having coped through it. Another idea...any friends that you could make plans with? Watch a movie at your place or go out if you're up for it until your BF is home?
I have a friend that lives near me but too scared to reach other again. Around May/June I reached out to her to see how things were going and if she wanted to get together sometime and she responded well and said yeah but I haven’t heard from her since. I’m too scared to make the initiative because I know she has made her own group of friends that she might already have plans.
No I don’t really have anything to keep me occupied. That’s another reason I feel so alone. I felt like I lost all my friends or that I don’t have any. I have very few friends but at the same time i feel like I don’t have any.
Hi Addy.
You are not alone! You have us! I totally understand you I am sure, that this feeling of being alone while not actually being alone is an ordinary thing for people like us.
We all have our ups and downs, and this community understands you and will always be here for you! We are all in this together, and together we shall prevail!
This night was also tough for me. I was very anxious and sad, but these amazing people helped me to find my positive beat and keep going.
Whenever you feel you ant to talk to, I will be here and PMs for you!

Mental health conditions including Depression and Anxiety can make us very lonely even when we may be within a family group who worry about us. Many people feel lonely in a quiet room, the peace sounds very loud and we can feel lonely.
Talk to your boyfriend and explain how you feel, consider looking for diversions like hobbies or sports that will help you break down your feelings of depression it does work and helps you to move on

Hello Addy Athena, am sorry you are going through this currently. I can understand how you are feeling. Its sometimes happen to me too but you are not alone. Sometimes we have to open up to people close by us to know how we are actually feeling. I used to look up to people for happiness until one day I realized that am the closest person to myself and have to learn to enjoy my own company first and create my happiness in case there is no one available when I need them most. What do you do to relax? Look for a new hobby or memory game that can keep you occupied. For me my faith has been one great source of happiness and peace in my life as I meditate on God’s word. I pray for abundant peace and joy in your life. Sending hugs and love your way. You can get in touch in case you want to chat.
