Feel so alone and stupid

Mental health has held me back for so long that I don’t know if I have a place in society anymore. I’ll have to learn to be more self sustainable and sufficient somehow. I’m doing all I can do but it’s still not nearly enough yet. I appreciate being able to relate to you all. I hope you wont suffer much longer and find peace.

Thank you. I hope you find peace too.

Thanks. I wonder what’s peace like. I’ve only dreamt about it.

I can relate to the way you're feeling. I have battled anxiety and depression for almost 30 years and I very much feel like my disorders have come to define my life. I'm battling, but I feeling like I'm losing the war.Think about one thing that makes you happy and try to incorporate more of it into your life. What are your hobbies? What kind of places do you like to visit?

Also, if you're not already working with a talk therapist or other mental health professional, I strongly recommend doing so. They can act as a critical lifeline when things get really tough.

We're all here to support you. I'm happy to listen to your story if you want to share more details, publicly or privately.

Take good care of yourself!

Remember only the strong suffer with mental illness. You don't need to have a place in society, society today is Bonkers! Find your own little paradise and be proud of your stamina and strength. You are of more value in the world than much of this lost, money, goal driven insensitive society sheep. I can't bear being part of society, my intention is to find my oasis and do what I enjoy. I want to follow my little dreams and not that of society.

I know what you mean about society. Maybe I should’ve said life. What is your vision for your oasis?

Not sure yet but it will include nature, connection to spirit, animals and a very select few friends. I am in my 60s so i dont need much now. Unconditional love for oneself is the key and i am working on it.
