Not sure how much longer...

I am in the deepest hole I have ever been. Which is quite an accomplishment considering my mental health history.

I am lonely. I am alone. Achingly on both fronts. Lately, finding someone to even chat with online has become nearly impossible. Let alone meeting another like minded person in public for face to face contact. It is crippling me and the few I do see (coworkers and family) are concerned. As they should be.

I have always had a "circle", a "group", and forgive the 90's prep language a "crew". No more. I am lonely and alone. Desperate for consistent, non-familial, non-work related, contact with another human being.

I am truly clueless how much more I can continue like this and if/when it will need to end with dire results...

You may feel alone, but I'll be the first to say that I'm always here if you need a friend. 🙂

[Hidden in reply to Kat_21]

I appreciate that Kat_21

[Kat_21 in reply to Hidden]

No problem. 🙂 I know how it feels to be lonely. It sucks, especially with my anxiety filling my head with negative thoughts.

But at least on here, you do have friends.

[Hidden in reply to Kat_21]

Anxiety is awful. Truly awful. I completely relate so you have someone to vent to if you need it.

[Kat_21 in reply to Hidden]

Thank you so much. Stay strong. It does get better.

I know the feeling! I feel so alone and I feel like not many understand me in person. I like coming onto this app and talking to people it helps so much!

[LoveBear]

I’m so sorry you’re having a tough time. I’ve been there oh so many times. There are people who listen and all on this group so helpful. Chat tomorrow

[bonkers65]

I am in the same boat. I am also here if you need someone to talk to.

[AllTimeLow in reply to bonkers65]

I am bonkers!

[AllTimeLow]

Yes, I ask myself every day how much longer can I continue like this.

[Shomacco]

I am with you. Though I don't leave the house but to shop. I Teams with some co-workers, but its not enough. I’ve only been here a few days and have Ben welcomed by so many.

You are not alone here...

I can totally relate as I feel so alone even though I have family. It's got worse since my mum passed away last month which was the trigger for me to reach out to my GP. Is there a support group in your area?

[Hidden in reply to Islandgirl15]

There is not. Especially considering our area is now a hot spot for COVID-19. I am still looking for online support groups but I am getting some support here which helps

[AllTimeLow in reply to Hidden]

I've been calling the crisis line on my breaks at work!

[Shawny41]

I know the feeling. I am here if you ever need to talk.

[michellelogan]

I too have anxiety and depression.......the evil opposites. I understand........

[AllTimeLow in reply to michellelogan]

Anxiety, depression, mood disorder and weight gain!

[Hidden]

I would chat or email you but I just can't get to my messages. The page just keeps on refreshing itself!

[ryelee]

please seek professional help. My psychiatrist has a saying about dire results : don't seek a permanent solution for a temporary problem. A glib statement but I have found it to be worth thinking about.

[Hidden]

I have spoken with my Therapist and Psychiatrist. I have another appointment with my therapist today. I appreciate the concern.
