I feel extremely lonely. I feel invisible, there is no one I can talk to. I feel ignored by my husband, he hardly talks to me. I usually act normal in front of my family but there are few days when I loose it and get angry over him. I expected that he would atleast ask me if I am ok after seeing me sad/angry but he never does. I have now started detaching myself from other family members as well. I initially thought it was relationship problem. I have now realised I was in depression as I stopped taking out time for my daughter (she is just 2). I feel guilty sometimes for my daughter but I simply don't like playing with her.
I just want someone who would listen to me and try to understand how I am feeling.

Hey everything will be better..my mom had depression and anxiety when i was a little girl but now im doing great i am studying medicine i am seeing a therapist and im doing something even very little everyday but i dont quit because living is worth it ❤️
You have to be a person with less expectations the more we want the less we get and we don't have any idea why it is happening because others don't seem to be just like our expectations. So give them time and try to understand him. Be hopeful.
I too struggle with loneliness and isolation and have a less than ideal relationship I feel your pain. I'm here and more than happy to listen. Hang in there and never give up, tommorow is a brand new day!
First don’t waste your time talking to family or friends. They don’t understand and get Frustrated wanting You to get over it. I’ve been there and do what you do Pretend everything’s Fine. I stop talking to friends who said I can call them anytime, Not True, they tell me their Busy and sometimes are Not Nice. Please get counseling, don’t hesitate to change doctors or medication if it’s not working for You. Let me know how your doing. We Care🙏
I used to not respond to a family member who would show sadness and anger but would unpredictability direct it towards me. The reason I didn't react was out of fear. I had asked before to help and I got their rage in return. I figured if I didn't respond I could keep out of their warpath.
Hi, sorry to hear how you are feeling, a lot of what you’ve said is very similar to my situation a year ago. But thanx to this group I’m now in a much better place . Are you taking medication for the depression? I was very strongly against going on antidepressants but after talking to people in here I went to the doctor and gave them a go. I am so glad I did , they’ve helped me so much!
Hi there, I’m in a similar situation as you where I have two young daughters and my depression has affected me so much that I don’t want to play with them at all. I get frustrated and angry when I see them misbehaving, have to step aside and calm myself down at times. Don’t give up, we are in this together and there are lots of people supporting you!
Try to explain to your mongering husband that you are struggling with depression. The best way he can help is to love listen and support you with kindness and compassion
Yeah all your feelings are normal for this disease. I’ve been through it many times. Do you have a therapist or psychiatrist? Meditation and mindfulness really help me and my meds. Hope u r better. Reach out if you r lonely
I too have been in this exact situation where I feel completely invisible. My husband comes home from work and is on his phone looking at Marketplace all night and I try to tell him how I feel. I think its hard for other people to understand what we are going through and how we feel because they just don’t experience it. So I have taken initiative to learn to do new things to keep me busy and make me feel better. I am teaching myself to play guitar, I do diamond painting, and I try to do some physical activity as well.
YOU are not invisible! There are people that care, but there are also people who just are unable to understand how we feel.
I am glad this forum is here because most of us understand and we are here to help.
I know it is difficult as that many do not understand what you are going through. This group is good for listening and also a means to vent when you need to. We all know what it is to go through all of this and there are many here you can talk to.
I can listen. I get it. With my ex husband I became very depressed and felt so isolated, I eventually started going out to avoid my sadness and my husband left with our 2 kids. 4 years later and I still get really sad. Am here if you need to talk?
I started feeling this way while in relationships, I felt like I was Invisible, that no one cared, no one understands me or how I felt. Its been 11 years now since I have lived with someone, I now know that I am invisible, I am not someone's special person, I am not needed by anyone, I dont have a close connection with anyone but most of all, I am not understood by anyone either. One thing I have learnt is that it is up to you to get up in the morning and carry on, it is only you that can help you and make things better, learn to care about yourself, self care, dont rely on others to make you feel like someone, you are someone to you. No one has picked me up or made me feel like life is worth living, find things to live for, your child, pets, garden or other reasons, be strong, if your husband doesn't understand then make him, if he still doesn't then find a way to be happy without him, make plans, find meaning. I can't say I am happy, I have lots of issues but I also don't have anyone around making my issues feel stupid or unimportant, nothing worse than other people to make you feel bad about yourself. If it wasn't for me finding my way through life I wouldn't be here now, I cant thank anyone for rescuing me.
Sounds like you are able to self motivate. Something I struggle with. Do you have any advice on how you started being able to do that? I have a husband I don’t like at all. I tend to lie in bed feeling alone but not motivated to go find my happy. Seems like you have overcome this feeling.
I wish I could say it is simply achieved by following someone's advice, it isn't, the only reason I carry on is because I have found things to do, I avoid people and relationships, I removed anything negative and stay clear, my life is solitary, no complications, I have found that if I am unhappy then think about the source, where is it coming from then remove it, if someone is making you unhappy then do something, nothing worse than living with someone that makes you feel bad, I have been there so many times that it has driven me to suicide. Living alone brings about self preservation, I am no longer abused by anyone or made to feel I am something I'm not, if I don't get up there is no one to get me up, it makes me think differently, the natural need for survival I guess. Iam without a doubt depressed to some degree, I still feel I have no purpose in this world and no future, I barely survive but I do, I have come to realise that what I do affects no one so I can do as I wish. You have options, always, you can get medication, seek counselling, there are many communities online and help thru your own GP, you are never stuck, there is always an answer and always a choice, you can stay in bed all day or make plans to change, its entirely up to you, whatever you do the consequences are your own. I hope you find a way thru somehow, one day you will.
I feel invisible on my birthday. Only one family member texted me. My birthday is today. I wish I had caring friends who would call me up and be there to listen to me whenever I needed them. Maybe therapy will work for you.
Happy birthday 😔 I know it is difficult, for some of us we are just alone and not part of the world as others see it, doesn't mean we are less of a person.
