Tears

[alaska1226]

So lonely......i wake up each morning just in tears, dont have anyone, no family no kids just flat out lonely. I have no job , no hope all i do is cry. When i see a even a neighbor i cry. No reason to get up. Dont have any dr and not sure i want meds again. I was on celexa but for a very long time really didnt help. I just lay here all day and hating for the next day to open my eyes to tears all again. Need friends and i have not had a relationship in years. I feel that i will never meet anyone and will be even more lonely for the rest of my life. Please help .......

Hi Alaska. I’m Andy.

So sorry to read how terrible you are feeling. I really am.

As I am in the dark about you, and your life, I can only say things that I would pass on to others in your predicament.

Could it help once this awful crisis is over to get an appointment with your g.p? Go through every concern you have. Talk about new meds that could help you. Also getting a referral to a councillor could help.

I’m the mean time what used to bring you joy? What about a new hobby? I don’t know how you are physically? But maybe starting some gentle excercise. Consult your g.p first.

YouTube has lots of mindfulness techniques & exercises in breathing correctly that can really help calm you.

I hope that you know that this is a wonderful group of people who will gladly chat and help best they can.

Take good care and here if you need an ear. Andy🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Thank you so much.......i do need to see a dr......i have a hard time in the morning usually. I have a dog and thats it. We do go for walks but after that i slump back into loneliness. Thank you for your reply. I hope all.is well with you.

Hello again.👋Great that you have your dog. I think it’s really important to have more than 1 heartbeat in a home. We are not alone when we have a pet companion. When you get back from your walk, maybe have a plan. A distraction. Something new, or returning to something that used to bring you happiness. Reading, music, cooking from new recipes that you have found.

I recently decided to give ‘Calligraphy’ a go. Learning the art of writing. It’s a wonderful distraction for me.

I know that you see were I am going with this. Start with small steps. Don’t let loneliness beat you. We are here supporting you. You’re not alone my friend.

Was just wondering what your objection is to trying medication again? How many different medications have you tried? I myself over the past 13 years of seeking help for my depression have been on over 30 different medications, plus ECT, Ketamine infusion, and TMS. Unfortunately, nothing has really worked and I'm now concidered 'treatmen-resistant'. The only positive thing I can say about my experience is that I left no stone unturned. Psychiatry is not an exact science, it is as much trial and error as anything else. It was a quest, driven by the fact that my depression is disabling and unbearable. Just food for thought.

I'll be your friend! 😊

Hi, hang in there! I know it's super hard. Mornings are the most difficult time for me too, and sometimes it feels like it will never get any better and has always been this bad. When I'm really low, I believe that. I have anxiety and when it gets really bad I get in that depression black hole. I've tried so many natural meds and remedies, but it's still been very hard for quite some time so I decided to give in and try a little medicine for anxiety. It's helping a little, takes the edge off. And I'm so grateful for my pet too nature helps me a lot, also just getting up/out and doing something/anything. Sometimes, I need to talk to the Universe and just sob and that seems to help too. Anyway, hang in there and just know you're not alone.

Hi Alaska...... wondering if you’re actually ~in~ Alaska......I imagine it being so beautiful there. It’s the middle of the night where I am, but of course I’m still up, alone, just me + my thoughts. I’m very sorry you’re hurting and I want to assure your heart that you’re not alone.

Mornings are the worst for me too. Try not to eat late before bed and keep hydrated. The lack of purpose in covid drives us crazy especially being single. Try to say hello to people when you’re out at sage distance and give your day purpose schedule mix it up do a art project even if you don’t do it try and online course or something of interest pick something just anything even if it seems ridiculous I so get it. I started a vision board. I’m also getting flabby I’m not having success with that as I’m eating more moving less due to pain stress. I’ve gained 3 sizes in like 5 months never been like this it sucks. I have to try harder. Can you order books online ? I like mantras they’re very good for the soul and I bought a book on meditation journal I don’t like meditation but it can be going fir a mindful walk or watching a peaceful aquarium on YouTube then you write about what did you feel did you observe in your practice how did you feel after it what did you do for yourself today how did you listen to yourself today how can you be more present in yourself ( that one I find hard but I try) ... oddly opens doors even if it’s painful often it’s I noticed positive thoughts hope. Why I mention it. Mines called Enjoy your Now

The reaching out from everyone is nice on this site. Thank you so much for your ideas and reply. I am very outgoing in public but here in my little world so sad. Going for a walk today i have a dog. I hope all is well with you.

Mornings are the worst for me as well. I feel ok for about 5 minutes and then anxiety takes over and I sometimes feel really bad. Its tough to get out of bed. Now that we are stuck inside it makes these feelings even more intense. I try to make a list of things to do during the day to distract myself, but my anxiety visits me periodically as I clean the house or do a chore. Try and find ways to distract yourself. Go outside, safely and take a deep breathe, try a breathing app or youtube video. They do work. You have to remember you are not alone and does it get better. In the shortrun it does feel awful and I have trouble pushing through the discomfort and sometimes pain of the anxiety, but we are not alone.
