Feeling really low this morning. Trying to fight this. I just can't do it anymore. It doesn't really matter how much people reach out to me ... I still feel unloved, unwanted, lost in this big world ... ARGH! My meds don't seem to do much. My therapist is on vacation. Life pretty much sucks.
Happy New Year.
I am sorry you are feeling really low this morning. I am glad you are here reaching out. You are not alone. When is your next appointment with your therapist?
Hi honey, I completely understand. I also feel so alone and so so lost. At least we're in it together. We will be okay, and I know that one day you will experience joy that matches this pain. Also, some advice that helped me, you don't have to fight it all of the time. I understand that sometimes we do have to fight to make it better, but you are also allowed to just be. Sometimes you have to just sit with it. Easier said than done, I know. Personally, and this is going to sound so lame lol, but when I feel super lonely, I watch shows like 'Friends' or I listen to podcasts, and it sort of imitates the feeling of being with people. It's a temporary fix, but it helps. I know how easy it is to feel so lonely in this big world, but support groups like this are exactly why we aren't alone.
Thanks for your post. This was very consoling to read this morning. I don't think your suggestion is so lame. I do the same thing sometimes. I like your perspective better than mine; I'm always so afraid that I'm numbing myself when I do those things and I feel guilty for doing it. I hope you have a better/good day.
for me- it takes a plan, not just meds
I need sunshine, a walk outdoors or activity, a daily routine, daily purpose, social connection, therapist, spiritual
They are all important to overall well-being
You are gonna have to push yourself to do things that you don’t want to it
Do it and hate it
But over time- it will get better and better
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Every day can’t be great, but don’t give up or give in
Depression is my enemy that I have battled since a child
I’m in my 50’s now- long, long time and many lessons, hacks learned
It will not win! I will not allow it, I’m worth more than that
Reach out anytime
It's hard to see the good, but you are fighting it, you have continued to fight it every single hour of every single day. It's so easy to feel lost in this world. I live in a little spot in the Pacific NW and it doesn't help me feel any more connected or seen to be in a small community. You aren't lost, or unloved or unwanted. That's just depression doing it's ugly thing in your head again. You don't have to DO or BE anything other than who and what you are right now. It may not feel true to you, but I love that you have reached out to this community of people, so we can help hold you up on the days when it feels impossible to lift your head and see that others are cheering you on and happy to know that you have the courage to express your fears. Just that in itself makes me believe you have the strength to fight for yourself.
I feel what you’re going through . You need to try to stay positive. Read positive quotes, go for a walk, know that you are not alone at all. I’m going through the same I’ve been single for 25 years that’s how unloved I feel.
I'm sorry. I've never married. It's hard to stay positive when you feel like this.
I was supposed to have an appointment with my therapist today; she cancelled. You can't make this stuff. I need to talk. I'm ready to talk. UGH!
When did your therapist schedule your next appointment for? Do you want to talk more with us here.
Oh my goodness!!!!! I think that would throw me over the edge!!! 😆
Are You F...n' kidding me!
ECT Experience?
Decisions
changes for the better or worse?
