feeling utterly alone

i’m at 35 year-old female, who is suffered from anxiety and depression in the majority of their life, and I have no friends and no one to talk to. I’ve been incredibly isolated because I haven’t worked for a year due to health issues. Just looking for someone anyone to talk to. this feeling of being alone and isolated is going to kill me.

Curlygirl10 Hello and Welcome to you too. You are now with people who understand anxiety. I encourage you to make your own post if you feel comfortable. That way you can get the support of others. You don't have to be alone any longer.

Hey, is your username a reference to Caitlyn from Arcane from League of legends?

I spent some good time because of your post. Our generation doesn't know these things. I had to look for League of Legends, then Arcane and then Caitlyn. Now I know why Vi named her cupcake!

Try to get into group therapy. A therapist can point you in the right direction. Good luck.

Hi

I just wanted to let you know I can chat anytime I live in England but I really know how you feel. I have suffered for four years with anxiety and it is horrific and isolating. I would love to hear from you or anyone else as it really helps knowing there is people out there that care Xx

I recognise that feeling and I have it a now, I am lucky that I have my partner to support me but I can’t help feel alone when trying to face it, there are lots of others out there feeling the same and this place does help keep sight of that, keep talking

I perfectly understand the feeling. Have been there but now works and have people to talk to at work.

I also suffer from loneliness and I feel like it's going to kill me too. I wish I had an answer. I guess this group can be our friends.

Have you found Calm Clinic online? I was writing a reply, and in my old age and, annoyingly, losing my words, I googled anxiety and it came up with several answers, one of which was Calm Clinic. I thought it looked very helpful and extensive. Bash me on the head with a heavy book if I'm out of place!

hey thanks for all the support guys it’s much appreciated. It’s not so easy getting out of the cycle and trying to get out of the anxiety. I wish I knew how.

Bonk me on the head with a heavy book if I'm wrong, but if someone has suffered from anxiety all their life, and there seems to be no reason for it, or even if there is a reason, could it be that they have too much

that’s how I feel. It’s just out of no where and it’s just to much to handle. Constant chest and back pain has me worried. Trying to distract myself with work. Took my meds hours ago no point in taking more. -.- just wish I had a solution

Hi! I've also struggled with similar stuff. I graduated college in May of 2023 and I also haven't been able to find any work. I did do an IOP program for a while, but it is still something that is hard to deal with. At least we aren't alone!
