I'm New Here, thanks for letting me join

Hi, so where do I start. Well, I'm feeling really low at the moment. I'm trying to put a positive spin on thing when I can, but at the moment, it's not helping.

My mum died last year and i miss her dreadfully. I keep feeling guilty that I didn't do more. I feel alone, even though I have family. I feel empty and afraid. I keep overeating and dieting, then repeat. I find I'm obsessed with silly games on the iPad that uses up masses of time, clash of clans etc. I wonder what the future holds and how I'm going to escape from this emptiness and loneliness. I cry, but the pain stays. My GP isn't too helpful and treated me like I was 'odd' when I saw her. She even said...' Mmmm well, you are a worrier, and a very anxious person' she then put her eyes to the ceiling, and sighed and said that I should just calm down. It wasn't helpful. I walked out crying. She phoned up in the evening to apologise, and said that she'd had a bad day.

I have a wonderful husband, a wonderful daughter who I am so grateful for. Two sons who now live hundreds of miles away in the town, (we in country, they hate country) and some friends, yet I feel I have the emptiness that I cannot escape. I feel alone and afraid and I'm crying again... Will life get better? How can I climb out of this lonely, empty, dark place. Thanks for listening, sorry for the ramble about me.

You will - you just need the right doctor and the right treatment. Sounds like I'd skip a dr who's (had a bad day) and find another. I'd tell them what she said and your reaction to her callousness.

You're not in a good place atm and it will take time.

You've come to the right place ... So keep sharing ...😊

Hi PhoebeChloe. and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear things are so difficult for you at present. It often helps if we write down how we are feeling. Many people find this helps. Do stay on the forum where other members can provide support. You will feel better, but need some help.. It would be advisable to make an another appointment to see one of the doctors at your practice and talk about how you are feeling. Also, have you received any bereavement counselling as this may help? cruse.org. Take care and best wishes.

hi there my beautiful friend, well I thought it was bout time to reply to the ones that I received (can't quite believe this) but to a post I wrote when I joined a whole YEAR A GO! I actually feel AWFUL and admin (I think) has removed the ability to write under my original one, I had just joined and as usual I'm sure folk here in a mental health service will understand the "bury ur head" and magically ur problems will disappear lol, anyway I could fill 1000 books just with what has happened in my last year but I am actually more interested in how u are doing if ur still using this website hunny x feel free to message me ANYTIME (LITERALLY) The clue is in my username INSOMNIAC4EVERLOST 😘
