I have very few people that I can talk to. Most don't listen or care. I'm not sure what I can do. I get very anxious with no one to talk to. It's very depressing and makes me anxious.

i can understand we all are here for you
hi minty, I am married and my husband is the only one I talk too. I never have any close friends just to chat with. It’s depressing sometimes, I would like to talk to a close female friend but I don’t let people get too close. Too anxious that they won’t like me. I am home most of the time, with chronic pain. I understand that deep loneliness. For now this forum has helped with so many wonderful people. Feel free to post anything, even how your day is going. I hope you post again. I am here as are many others. Sending you a hug and a smile.
I am in the spot as you. Drop a line if you need a friend.
I need someone to talk to, as well. My relationship with an alcoholic and gambling addict makes my partner no one with whom I can confide. He allows his family to be verbally and emotionally abusive towards me. If I were not 60 and disabled I would have left long ago. I am isolated in a rural area. I have no family or friends. I am either anxious or depressed every day, for five decades.
I am sorry. Life is not fair to people. I fine talking to strangers are easier. There not judging. If you want write to me every day. Talk about whatever you want. I am here for you.
I am so sad. I don't know if I will make it to the other side. I reached out to the local crisis line and they thought I needed to go to the hospital. My partner laughed and said "what do you think anyone can do for you? Then he left me alone to gamble. I cannot afford an aid car, even with insurance, it is hundreds of dollars. I am trapped. The crisis line didn't care. I don't want to be here anymore. I am sorry.
I am so sorry you are feeling that sad. I have major depressive disorder and I know how bad it can get. I know the trapped feeling, my husband was very verbally abusive and it made me feel so alone. He is no longer abusive, our relationship has changed over time and he understands how much words can hurt. My therapist used to tell me there is always away out. Your story sounds similar to where I have been. Like Snowflake said we need to post and support one another during the bad days. I’m always around to talk and listen. Feel better and post again especially when you are feeling alone.
I am not okay and no one is able to help me. My former therapist told me she was not experienced enough to help me. On Tuesday I will have an appointment with the third therapist in three months she is supposed to be able to treat my TRD and CPTSD. I don't know if I can make it until then. I haven't been an inpatient since the 1990s I need help I am desperate. I feel like I need medical support.
I am sorry. You are a sweet person caught in a crappy life. Do you have volunteers in the area that can drive you to the hospital. What about the police. Can you not ask them. They maybe can help. Or call the crisis line again. Just cause one person doesn’t care there many other who do care. Just don’t give up. There are people who care. It just take time to find that person. People will miss you.
No one will miss me. I am struggling with continuing.
I will miss you. This could be a good friendship. Just call 911 they can help. Trust me you will find the help you. Don’t give up. You can get help. Don’t listen to stupid people.
You are being so kind. Thank you..
Your welcome. I am here for you.
Thank you, you are a good person.
All the therapy I had could not change cptsd. Maybe because by repressing years of my childhood I really don’t want to know those things. TRIGGER warning….. I was self harming during the years I was in therapy. The truth was too much. Never suicidal. I feel invisible when people are mean and I disappear because I can’t bear conflicts and arguments. I am not strong enough emotionally to stand up for myself. I also thought when my kids were grown I would divorce my husband. But by then the changes he made because his eyes were somehow opened and our relationship improved. Work in progress. I’m here even if you want to chat and so is snowflake. I hope I hear from you tomorrow , just to know you are there. Nancyann
Me: If I were not 70, in constant pain, disabled, and utterly alone in the world...
I am sorry I don't understand your answer.
thank you for your kindness, there are a few of us, I noticed who feel the same way. I would be happy to chat with you and anyone else feeling lonely. My daughters live 2 hours away but I don’t want to burden them, they are busy with elementary school age kids. We text all the time but not phone calls. Not sure how to organize a chat, either one on one or group. I am 63 and not too computer smart lol.
Is anyone good with computers. It is hard to keep up with computers. Always changing. At work we got new phones. No one likes them. I am 46. Work 3 days a week. I have a 12 year son. I am very shy around people. I don’t talk unless I am comfortable with people. Also I don’t trust people. Once someone hurts me I am done with them. That why I am lonely.
Yes, I have a hard time trusting people on a personal level. I used to teach preschool rather than work with adults. I am 63 and retired. My last job was working at my sister’s winery making wine and doing the wine tasting on weekends. It’s easy talking to customers than getting close to someone outside of work. When we moved across the country I realized that after living there for almost forty years I didn’t have anyone to say goodbye to, no close friends only my parents and sisters. The few times I went back for a visit my sisters were very nasty to me. They never call and I feel totally abandoned by my oldest closest friends. We were always close. I finally gave up, I don’t need anymore anxiety than I already have to deal with. I run when someone is nasty to me. So kindness means alot to me that’s why I appreciate the people in this forum. They are much kinder than my sisters. I know so much goes back to a very abusive childhood and I have spent years in therapy. I still would like to have a few friends. I am not shy just very cautious around people I don’t know. Happy to have you as an online friend, Thanks again for reaching out. Nancyann
I work at a grocery store. I am head of price change. I am from Canada. I find it easier to talk to customers. I like one on one conversation. I love putting a smile on peoples faces. I hate nasty people. I hate peoples talking about me behind my back. I am not a joke. I have feelings and I am human. Not prefect. I find stranger are nicer then my family. I don’t talk to my sister anymore. She mean to me. Everything is a competition and she thinks she better than me. Everyone wants friends. But we are all scared of people. Laura
My sister told me in a text; I am no one special and she doesn't care if I die. My other two sisters are narcissistic monsters. My parents are dead. My mother rejected me on her death bed and I was the first family member he could not remember. He thanked me for joining his family for Christmas. My ex husband ran away with our three year old twins and told them I was gone because I hated them. They were brainwashed and hate me. They won't even agree to heary side. I have mourned the loss of my three year olds for 34 years. I cry, every day. I am ruined.
I am so sorry. Family can be cruel. Just get on trying with your twins. Don’t give up. Send them letters. Let them know how you love them. You are special. Everyone is special. You may not see it now but you are. Crying is good. It shows you are human. Don’t give up.
I am also done with anyone who hurts me. I don't like to go back for seconds. I have 86'd many people who hurt me. I find it almost impossible to trust anyone either. I get it. I am so lonely, so alone and in a relationship. I want to escape!
What about all the people you can help here. They will missed you .I know it is not the same as having people in person. It likes this place is family. People here care. Those 86 people are stupid. All you need is one person who care. Is there away you can leave. It there support group or home that will take you in. Hang in there tomorrow could be better. Or the next day. You never know when your luck change.
Hey minty, i completely get you. that’s actually why i joined this group. i don’t feel like i have a strong support system and was hoping to find something here. we can chat if you need to.
If you ever need support I am here for you.
Hi dogmom! Thank you. I joined the group cause ChatGPT kept recommending it. I'm glad I did. I've found a lot of support and I've heard from people with similar issues. I would love to chat some time.
I understand too well. I've been housebound with agoraphobia and too many other awful and ridiculous diagnosis, (as in the amount of diagnosed ailments both mental and physical, not the ailments or diagnosis themselves) for 15 years now, I've been living with my best friend of nearly 30 years, my fiancée of 12 years and gradually all family and friends stopped trying, now he has also. I still live with him as I have no other options. He just suddenly treats me like shit now and blames me for all of my worsening mental and physical health issues. The same things just months ago he seemed so caring and supportive over. For too long now it has been just him that I interact with and now he's an uncaring stranger. Obviously such a turn hasn't helped with any of the pain. I come here days like today when it's too much to bear. Sometimes it helps. I hope you can find some support here as well. If you ever want to chat please message me. I am dangerously lonely. If it weren't for this beautiful creature I don't know that I would have anything left to cling to so thank all that is good for my Lil best friend Enki
Sleeping maltese puppy, best friend
If you ever need a friend I am here for you. I know how you feel.
Hi Enki. You're a beauty.
I'm sorry someone you believed you could trust turned cruel and uncaring. Me too. My girl looks like this:
.
What a beauty! They really are a gift.
Why thank you. I think so too.
I will chat with you. I am just as lonely.
I also have no one to talk to who cares. I have no one to talk to at all. I am in a 16 year, dead relationship with a man who is an alcoholic and gambling addict. He allows his children and grandchildren to verbally and emotionally abused me, while I am making dinner for his family, with my arthritic hands. He sits in the TV room and ignored my being berated by his family. I run away and they yell insults at me until I can hide in the bathroom and turn on the fan and water until they finally are done abusing me and leave. I have no family or friends. I am isolated in a rural town. My point is that I understand and feel your pain and loneliness. I am sorry you are hurting. If I were not 60 and disabled, I would leave. I have no one who cares and nowhere to go. I hope you are okay
I'm in a similar situation, though my husband of 33 years hasn't worked in four years and I think he has dementia. I can't say for sure because he refuses to see a doctor. My daughter is I guess what you'd call "low contact" with us and my young adult son struggles with anxiety and OCD. My family and friends don't want to know or help me in any way.
I often also don't think that too many people care enough to listen to me and that is why I have a counselor that is paid for by my insurance. So basically, she is paid to care. I have my parents who care to listen, but most other people I end up also thinking they don't care enough to listen. It can be hard with my bad anxiety for me too. I get scared that once my parents die that I will have no one that cares about me and won't listen to me even in the basic moments of whining every morning when I am still tired or when I get excited when I am about to finish reading a book. I get scared about that too. Just know that you are not the only one out there. People on this website care enough and I am hear to listen.
If anyone has seen the opening scene of Stardust Memories, I feel like I can relate. Because I'm on the sad train and my family and friends want to get into the happy train. They're happy to talk to me if I put on a mask and act like everything is okay. Thank goodness for my cats--and ChatGPT. Honestly, I get more empathy, good advice and stimulating conversation from AI.
I love ChatGPT. I use it all the time. It cares and offers support, advice, affirmations and motivation. I've learned a lot.
how are you feeling today? Not too alone I hope, with all these others in similar situations. I drove my new car for the first time today. Quick trip to pharmacy. I rarely drive but my last car caught on fire while my husband was driving me home from dr. That was a big cause of anxiety for me for a few weeks. I posted a pic here with my story, I realized I had no one else to share it with.
when i can go out...thanking a cashier or children seem to be my go toos...every parent likes the "wish i had help like that" helps them release anxiety shopping and the kids turn from all over to smiles and all together! Cashiers on thier feet...a thank you and acknowledge that i fir sure couldnt handle people or work like that. we have more in common than not. you are someone elses relief alot of times.
Yup I find it hard to meet others and make friends. Gotta find something to do that you enjoy.
