Looking to connect with people who understand . . .

[MsBobby]

Hello, I'm new here and would simply like to connect with people who are in a similar situation and who might understand what I'm going through.

I've been experiencing a great deal of depression lately due to being over whelmed with several obligations and responsibilities and health issues.

I don't have a support system and I feel all alone in the world. It seems a as though, as soon as I tackle one task, about 200 more pop up! I don't feel that I have anyone to talk to or to encourage or uplift me.

I have a lot on my plate and often times, feel as though I want to run away from my own life. I want to be free. - - I'm seeking like-minded individuals, who might understand what I'm going through and I'm hoping that we might be able to help one another.

Definitely can relate to it myself. Recently my family is near and that has made a huge difference in life. When you have people around you saying how much they love you especially your family - that itself is like a rock solid support better than any therapy in the world I guess

Thanks, Kitty2017, that's so true but unfortunately for me, my four/five brothers and sisters aren't close and therefore not supportive. I rarely ever see or hear from them which is weird because we all live less than 55 miles apart. Nevertheless, I love them and continue to pray for them and hope that they're safe.

I continue to pray to God daily to surround me with loving, supportive, genuine and compassionate people.

Hi MsBobby. We all need someone to talk to. Some have friends or family but sometimes it is just easier to share with like minded people. Welcome to the 'family'.

Hi mrsmummy, You're absolutely right about that; everyone needs someone. It's funny because in the past, I've always been the one that everyone comes to, to dump all of their problems on. (Which is probably why I have so many health issues). Being somebody who has an extremely big heart and whose always been so giving, I can't understand why there's no one in my life for me to talk to. - - Then again, yes I do, the people in my life and I, we're completely different; we're on two entirely different levels. - But it doesn't make it hurt any less.

Thanks for welcoming me into the family.

i was only today thinking and saying that i feel like packing a suitcase getting in my car and never to be seen again.

those responsibilities are very hard work day after day after day after day..how long can you go on for before you crack...its a stragle even when your young and fit let alone when you old tried and have more disabilities/chronic illnesses then you can count on one hand...but if you have people that relying on you then its end of story .

it would be great if there was someone that could give you a bit of a lift up..but if not then the next best thing is to have a good runt on here to people that understand only to well. 😭😏😆

I couldn't have said it better myself. You, know exactly how I'm feeling. You can relate.
