Feeling alone

[You_Are_Loved]

Hi guys,

I’m not feeling great today I just feel tired and lonely and just overwhelmed by my emotions. I never wanted to say it or even think it but I’m starting to feel depressed. The thought of that scares me because depression is a terrifying thing that leads to thoughts that we can’t control. I have anxiety already and some circumstances that are happening right now are really affecting my anxiety and now depression badly. My mom has anxiety and depression but we’re kinda in a big fight right now so It’s hard to talk to her about it.. but I just don’t feel like doing anything. I feel like sitting in my room all day and canceling plans with friends. I feel low and tired and I just want the pain to stop. I haven’t told anyone because I don’t want them to worry or feel bad for me but I just don’t know what to do. What can I do?

You are not alone at all. When I feel like you are feeling right now, I tend to hibernate and don't want to be around anyone. I have friends who are just the opposite and need to be around people when they are feeling down or depressed but that's just not me. I have my fur baby, my yard if you can call it that, and my old Mobile Home that I clean too much! And when my mom lived with me who I took care of before she passed away; we would fight all the time. We were complete opposites. She too suffered with depression for many many years. So don't feel alone at all. Here for you anytime you need or want to talk. Bear with me as I'm brand new and still learning my way around!!

Thank you so much! It makes me feel better that I’m not alone 😊

Sounds like you need some time to yourself for some emotional decompression and some self care. It’s totally normal if you need to withdraw to get some space and recollect. As long as you’re not withdrawing permanently. No one can tell you what will work for you since everyone is different. Some people find solace in interacting with others while others need to recharge privately. If you would like to chat or vent, I’m willing to listen.

Thank you so much!! Yeah I’m normally the type of person that needs to be around other people when I’m sad or upset but lately I’m not like that. A good way I’ve been recharging is running. I can just think of everything with no distractions and it helps so much.

Hi! Awe thank you for checking in on me. I hope your weekend is going good as well. I’m feeling a little better today. Just keeping myself busy. I actually went to go get some plants today which I love!! 😊

[Ladybug9 in reply to You_Are_Loved]

I was looking for plants too but couldn't find any so I got paint to do my walls!! LOL.. So glad you are feeling better!! Plus, plants are great for our health!

Awe darn!! Thank you <3 and yes as long as I don’t kill them hahah!

[Ladybug9 in reply to You_Are_Loved]

You too?? LOL... I do not have a green thumb which is why I don't try to plant outside. I even killed off my wildflowers. And that can't be easy!!! So far though, I've had good luck with my Hens and Chicks because I've learned not to over water!! LOL...

Haha yeah!! The good thing is I got some succulents and a cactus so if I kill them that would be really really sad 😂😂😂. I’m trying to grow Aloe Vera from one of the cut off stems so idk how that’s going to turn out lol!

[Ladybug9 in reply to You_Are_Loved]

LOL.. Yes, that would be bad!!!

Hi ladybug! Thank you for checking in and yes I am doing a lot better! One of my birds died today in my hands.. and I wasn’t as attached to her but it’s still heartbreaking to see your pet died.

[Ladybug9 in reply to You_Are_Loved]

I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose a pet, no matter what species they are! I'm really happy to hear that you are feeling better despite your loss!!
