Feeling Alone

[Rabtab5]

I am new to support groups, online or any kind. I'm not really sure where to go from here. I've got a lot going on currently, outside of this lovely pandemic. I feel like I have no one "there" for me in my life, even within my family. I'm looking at alot of major life changes coming up and am hoping to try to strengthen myself before they happen so I don't fall apart. But my anxiety kinda prevents me from seeking out help. (Outside of therapy, I did start that.)

Welcome Rabtab5 to a good support system in addition to your therapy.

It can help to have many different facets in helping you to work on quieting

down your immense stress as well as feeling alone.

We are all in different stages of Anxiety and/or Depression and help each other

by understanding and not judging what each of us is going through. You took a

major step today and I'm glad that you are here with us. When you are comfortable

join in on responding to other's Posts or simply tell us more about what you are going

through. We will respond because we all care. xx

Hi there, I am glad you are safe and secure enough to post here. There are many people here who have experienced and are experiencing feeling alone. For me, the afternoons are very painful, sitting here watching the couples walk by and how people tell me oh this is hard. Well, yes, it really is sitting here ALONE all day and night and evening knowing tomorrow is going to be much of the same. And, I TRY to be positive and keep my schedule, and and read, and plan for post-virus. I do. Yet 3 o'clock beats down on my mind like those rain drops beating on the trash cans out back that sound like someone's trying to break in.... you are not alone. None of us knows what is coming next, the best thing we can try to do is remain calm and deal with what we have before us right now, and make short term and long term plans. You are welcome here, and many of us come here periodically and can chat with you. It took my family like 2 months to ask if I was okay -- and I know it's only because people were asking them, Don't you have a family member in XYZ Big City that is the current / next hot spot.... so I don't really have anyone. I just cry and cry when I feel alone. I thought I had a couple of new friends and such. You know how that goes. and the cycle of life and friendships continues. I hope you find some solace today.

well as knowing that someone "cares" helps immensely. xx

Hi. I’m Andy. A very warm welcome to you.

The people here are the kindest, warmest most helpful of people.

And when you think that we are all here with our struggles, worries and illnesses then it says a lot about the people here.

Kind, caring, compassionate people. Who are happy to help whenever able.

You’re not alone. We are here.

Many here for whatever reason may not have contact with there families. And many find it difficult to make friends. But we are here.

Maybe it’s a great start coming here. Learning to communicate. Sharing troubles. Ultimately helping others who are new to our little community would be a great thing.

You are most welcome here.

I commend you for starting therapy that is one of the biggest hurdles. And welcome! Sometimes just talking about what we are going through is the biggest help. Combating anxiety is a hard job but I can tell you this it is possible to win. Keep up with your therapy. Stand back and assess these fears talk to your counselor about them. I know the only thing that helped me get a handle on my anxiety was giving it all to God. My faith has been my biggest help. I used to worry all the time. I now deal with things as they come, give away what is not mine to bear, and bear with Him what is. It is nice to have you on here and I will be praying for you as you continue to grow and heal. -Rachel
