I don't literally mean with super glue!! I've decided to write a post because ive realised just how many of us think we are alone. Please let me reassure you that even tho anxiety and depression is a lonely place to be and when we hit those dark, desperate moments we feel we are the only people in the universe to be feeling this way. Mine began in childhood. I was the invisible child who was physically and emotionally hurt by my mother. She was a narcissist, she now has Alzheimer's and the one person(my sister) who's upbringing was the polar opposite of mine...is nowhere to be seen. I look after my mother, I pay for the nurses etc. She remembers nothing. I feared recently my depression was returning and I became overly anxious. That's when I decided to come here. I've said this before but the support on here is overwhelming . Thanks guys. Aaaaanyway, there are going to be down days. It's part of the rollercoaster journey isn't it? Please reach out to one of us. No matter how minor or bigger the problem....DO IT!. I can be myself here. Do the words "snap out of it" " you'll be ok""it's attention seeking" " there's nothing wrong with you, it's all in your head"( that ones the worst....stating the obvious but for a very different reason) gosh there are so many aren't there? I've had everything said to me. The days where I couldn't leave the house(7 years). The days where daylight hurt. The days where the pains in my chest were so severe I feared I would die. The days where I was nothing. The days where I thought it would never end and the only way it would was by not being here anymore. If you've thought any of these things....YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I shall leave with these words.
You are ALL worth so much and no you won't believe it. You DO matter. You DO have a place in society as much as the next person. You WILL get thro these dark days and finally(don't all cheer😉)
YOU ARE NOT AND NEVER WILL BE ALONE.
Take care. Janie x
