Connection

[Rituals]

Hi I’ve just found this app & hoping to find like-minded folks to connect with. Not coping very well as I feel so lonely & down most of the time.

Welcome to the group. There's plenty of us like minded people about, probably far more than most people would think. There are a few really highly experienced people here too so don't be afraid to open up and ask for help.

Let us know what's on your mind. I feel the same way...

Hey Weelin!

Welcome. You’ll definitely find many others here that have been through, or are going through, the same things as you.

Hi and welcome! There are so many of us on here in the same boat. You can share your story, if you want, or ask any questions about meds, treatments, etc. You can scroll through others posts. If you write a post or comment on one, folks usually respond fairly quickly. I haven't been on here long but my experience with depression and anxiety spans decades. I am 66 and have been living with both my entire adult life.

Hi bethelbee,I like your response. I'm on a similar journey as you, although without much meds. I'm not much of a pill taker. Just being on this platform helps.

Hi! I have become treatment resistant to medication over the decades, nothing works for me anymore. Am in the midst of my 3rd round of TMS and so far nothing, am extremely discouraged and quickly losing hope as my first two rounds last year really helped for about 6 months each and I had fairly quick responses each time. So far nothing with this one, not even sure I will finish out the 7 weeks, am in week 4 and have about had it with all of this crap!!! Hate going every day Can't live like this anymore. I've about had it!!! At the end of my rope!!!!!

I know I'm not alone, just fed up .....

Thank you bethelbee, I am feeling better already as I’ve had a few responses. I am 47 and wish I have dealt with it sooner. I have tried setraline & it made me spaced out. I couldn’t work like that & I had to drive 20 miles to work.

[bethelbee in reply to Rituals]

Glad you're feeling better!

[Wondering_1]

Hi Weelin, I can say the same. Know you're not alone, although it may definitely feel that way! I am similar to bethelbee

Hi Wondering 1 yes it definitely does. It doesn’t help when I don’t have any family or true friends around me. I have my partner’s family (brother & family) who are good people then my partner’s grown up children who visits, that’s another story.

I have family but no true friends and no significant other. I left a 20 yr relationship 2 yrs ago. It was his way or the highway and I chose the highway. I moved half way across the country to be closer to family. It's been hard and much more difficult to make true friends. Some days are very difficult, and I get really down, but I did choose this and I know it's for the better. Keep your chin up!🙂

I left one too sometimes wondering was that the right decision. I can’t go back now.
