Very lonely

[Carrie26a]

I'm in so much pain right now from the depression I'm dealing with. It's hard to even leave my house. Just feeling so alone and I don't know how to get myself to do the things I should be doing. The fear and sadness just consumes me. I can't find the motivation. The world is such a scary place to me. I just wish I wasn't alone.

I feel your pain as I am going through this too. I envy family & friends that are there for each other in times like these. They can distract your thought to other things & you can feel better for it. But when you live alone its a struggle. Here if you want to just vent or anything

I'm sorry you're feeling this way too... It's so difficult. It's nice to know we're not alone in this. Thank you for offering to talk. I hope you're having a good day today❤

Hi bengal2013, I am so very sorry that you have so much on your shoulders right now. Feeling alone is not good for you right now. You need to take care of yourself. I'm glad you reached out to this forum. You sound like a very caring and giving person but don't forget you need that back ten fold. My best to you during this most difficult time. x

start small and feel better. plan a small activities e.g. small walk around a green square on your way to pick up milk, stop for a coffee in a cafe after going to the post office, post yourself a pretty card after visiting the dentist (it's always nice to get something besides bills in the post),pick up a dvd from the library to watch after you hoover the flat, arrange to walk round the park with a friend, get yourself some potted herbs and look after them ... you could record your activities in the evening, maybe even giving yourself coloured stars by each one and look back on them when you need encouragement. hellos and maybe even quick comments on the weather to the shop assistant, waitress, librarian as you go along are all good. here's wishing you the very best

[Carrie26a in reply to reillyj]

Thank you so much for your comments, I will try doing those things☺

Hi Carrie,

I've been where you are at right now and it truly sucks. I have a disease that goes in and out of remission and when it's active I go into a shell. I have severe depression and anxiety along with a social anxiety disorder also. You can reach out to me anytime you want to. It's hard to talk to people you don't know but I'm here for you if you want to talk.
