Feeling down

[Wyominganxiety]

Ugh I have had so many good days lately but today I just feel sad, alone and ignored.. my fiance stayed up playing his ps4 never came to bed and has been at work all day I didn't sleep well at all my oldest son just came and told me he joined the marine corps. I just feel so overwhelmed and I dk why but my mind keeps thinking I'm worthless and unlovable...

Hey. Your not worthless. Your here on,earth for a reason. God gave you life because your worth it. Anxiety can tell us lies but never forget that you are loved by your family, and by everyone on this forum . be glad and happy because you have made it this far!! Don't think about what you don't have. Think about what you do have and you will notice that you have more then what you don't have. Try to Relax and watch a good movie lol

I know how you feel and its a shitty feeling. I have a son that joined the military too, that was years ago but it was an awful feeling at the time. I get along with my son but my husband doesn't so I don't see him that often. It's been really bad at times, its calm now but its never been the same as when he was younger. My other son is married with a baby so I barely see him, he's always busy. My daughter is busy with working and school, my husbands working all the time. My family is all in another state. I have some friends here but they're not close friends. We're not close to my husbands family thats here either. So yea it can get really lonely sometimes and you feel unloved and its a horrible feeling. I think that causes depression and the depression causes anxiety and the anxiety causes other illnesses. A lot of friends and family I talk to feel the same way, its like theres just not that much love left in the world anymore. So I want you to know its not just you and it really feels awful feeling this way but I'm sure your loved and cared for, its just that everybody is so busy and occupied in their own heads they forget that we all need love and time to be with them. Those feelings of being ignored are the worse and they just bring this huge negative shadow over you, it's really horrible. I could go on forever, I'm trying to get out of the negative funk today and its so hard. You could look up empty nest forums with other people that deal with their children going away, it's really helped me. I had a hard time with it and I think I'm still going through it lol. It's going to be ok, these are bumps we have to get over.

Obviously I don’t know your situation but I do that. Not PS4 but nighttime when my baby dog is sleeping in my lap and my household is asleep is my quiet time. I sleep more after they are gone. I still love my family. Energy is contagious. I feed off the calmness and next thing I know it’s morning. It could be innocent gaming. My oldest son went in the army. I understand and that’s just hard. It’s bittersweet. I was proud and wanted him to have a good life but I was also so scared! You will need to support him and just be there for him as much as you can. It’s just hard. I’m so sorry. I would actually suggest talking to your man about how you feel. Have you tried a comfy blanket and laying in the couch and being with him? I obviously don’t know your relationship. I can say for sure we are all worthy of being loved and I’m very familiar with feeling alone and unloved. My best friend is my dog! She sleeps on my lap or in bed with me and brings me so much calming energy! Otherwise I feel very alone! I’m so sorry you are having to go through that! Communication is key! Not that it’s easy for sure. At least for me it isn’t. Best of luck!
