Got to say that since my world turned upside down In 2013 and again in 2014 I have never felt so alone!! Feels like I’ve lived two lives..... one pre 2013 whereby I had a great circle of friends and family and enjoyed life and now.
Totally alone and going through all this. I hate anxiety and I hate depression but I hate being lonely and all the internal pain that brings.
A smile from a stranger can change my day

You not alone I'm here, as well as others . I can't tell you too much because I've only been going threw anxiety less than a month . I will tell you that it WILL NOT DEFEAT OR DEFINE me . Neither SHOULD YOU LET IT!
So true, Matt. It just feels like you're watching the rest of the world as if it's a movie, doesn't it? Like you're not part of it. Occasionally, someone's smile breaks through or you see a bird singing in a tree or catch the colours in the evening sky and although it's beautiful, it kinda hurts. It does me, anyway. I think it's because it's a glimpse of what was 'before', if that makes any sense?
We'll find our way through this, you just wait and see - in a new world of 'after' which will be even better than before because we had to go through so much to earn it. xxxx
Sending you a big smile!! Anxiety and depression are hard...but we can make it through. One step at a time if that is what it takes. Consider joining an anxiety and depression support group. Volunteer somewhere. Go to a local library. Join a gym or fitness club. Get out there and interact with some people!! You can do it!!
I feel exactly the same......even on my worst days just making another person smile or feel thought of takes a little bit of the constant pain away but then it just comes back. Thinking of 'happy' times then seems to make me feel 1000 times more depressed which then increases the horrendous anxiety of not being in control of my life and things around me. I only hope wish an prey that anyone who feels this feels happiness again...... lots of love to you
I think we all feel like this from time to time, heck I have felt alone surrounded by people, jyst remember you have all of us on here!! And here is another smile for you my friend. 😄
You are not alone in this. Have you had a chance to deal with and process the events from 2013/2014? Counselling can really help to do this. You won't always feel like this but you need to work on yourself everyday to get to the better place that you deserve. X
