Broken and alone

I am new to this platform as of I joined five minutes ago! I’m just feeling like life is impossible. I been in a pretty horrible marriage for the past 10 years and have been isolated from my family who lives in the other side of the country. I feel incredibly alone, even when other people around me. Have no desire to eat and it’s becoming incredibly difficult to sleep and eat! I don’t wanna hurt myself, but I do not want to be alive. Can anyone relate?

The article at this link offered me a connection.

I'm in that impossible situation too, trying hard to find a way to survive. If you've got caring family, tell them what's going on and ask for help.

Your problems with sleeping and eating are expressions of the anxiety this situation is causing you. I know that's true, because I live it.

Maybe not wanting to be alive means you want the pain to stop. Please keep asking for help to find a way to survive.

oh how I have felt what you feel, repeatedly. I am sorry you are having to feel this pain and isolation. You are not alone and I just joined this platform today as well. I’m not married, but I do know that relationships where you feel more alone are not what it’s supposed to feel like. I hope your partner can listen to you and you can communicate what YOU need to remedy areas in your relationship. I isolate and that is the worst for us. One day at a time and one goal at a time. That’s what I’m currently working on until I feel my spirit come back.

You will have better days. I promise.

Welcome to the group and community here. I'm glad you've joined and I hope that you are doing a little bit better and aren't as lonely as you have been feeling lately. I suffer from major depressive disorder and just came out of a four-year battle with a depressive episode that was excruciatingly painful. I also have PTSD an adjustment disorder. I try my best to look for certain people to connect with that seem to have a similar mindset like myself which is those that want to help others which is what I saw in your post. If there's anything I can do to help you to feel better reach out to me I'm here for you and again welcome to the group I hope that you have many positive experiences here and find many people that feel like you do so you don't feel alone. Wishing you peace and well-being.

Not what you're looking for?
