Recently got diagnosed with a heart disease so that’s the main reason I’m feeling lost. This is a depressing time but I hope to get through it. Thank you!

Hi Curry223.

I'm really sorry to hear of your distress and feeling, of being lost..

I wanted to share just what came to mind, as I recalled my own experience in my early 20s when I started to feel out of sorts with myself. It took a few years to be told two words, but they really helped me to understand that what I was feeling could actually be understood better.

Depersonalisation - a detached feeling from oneself

Derealisation - a detached feeling from one's environment.

That both arise out of extreme stress.... and consequently, for me I found that I totally became detached from life and started to feel as if i no longer knew my life/who I was. It was strange, chaotic and made me panic.

I wish I'd known about these terminologies earlier, because as soon as I did, I was able to start to reframe the uncertainty into an understandable picture.

There is nothing wrong with feeling 'lost'.... and there can be be an explanation

I hope you are ok though?

reaching out for support and, sharing how you feel is an important step in connectivity. Connection is important when feeling lost.

Keep doing what makes you feel happy, safe and secure <3

Routines are important, also connection to nature/people/ or something that has always brought a spark in your life (like music/reading/.....).

It's not a nice feeling, feeling lost. I'm sorry you are in that place

But know you will be ok - and there is support here too

Thank you for telling me about your experience with depression. This makes me feel better & I know I can get through this! Yes I am ok Thanks!

I think, talking from experience re. depression - and if I had the chance again - I would have tried to continue doing my routines, doing what made me feel happy & all the things that nourish me. To definitely take the pressure off of myself, yet not stop reaching out to the world. Not doubting myself, but perhaps instead acknowledging better that I had a health issue. Most of all, not cutting others off.... but being gentle with my self and just compassionate... so very compassionate.

There are road maps on an Atlas for the World, but very few roadmaps to guide us in Life.

When travelling and feeling lost, what do we do?

We reach out to a 'local'... someone 'in the know'... and we can begin to re-find our way again. I hope you find support, which can help nurture you through your recent diagnosis.

Sending love & light,
