Annoyed

[Far1]

Feel so annoyed with immediate family and friends, when I really wish they would be more supportive would really luv for someone to really cheer me up. A lot of them know that I'm going through a difficult time at the moment, but suppose they don't know how much it is impacting on my daily life, but aside from that i feel they could make me feel better, but they don't ring Me, don't call with Me, they just leave it to me to contact them and do all the contact to them, which when I do call with them, we talk about everything and everyone except me, leaves me feeling so down and am really struggling with all this. I have been of work for over 2mths. Out of my job through no fault of my own. Trying to work through all the mental torcher as to how to move forward???

Hi Annoyed, thank you for posting on this forum where I am sure you will get lots of support and good advice from our caring community members. You sound very upset and angry with your family and friends, for not understanding what you are going through. But sometimes those nearest to us do not really know how to act or respond when we are feeling ill and particularly when feeling depressed. I wonder though have you really spoken to them about you are really feeling and that you are struggling a lot at the moment. Also it may help you to make an appointment to see you GP and explain your low mood and that you are feeling depressed. That is usually the important step to take as then you can be offered treatment such as a combination of medication perhaps and some counselling. Sometimes just being able to talk about how we really feel to someone outside the family can be very therapeutic, confidential and non judgemental. You may also like to take a look at the pinned posts to the right side of your screen, under crisis support you will find a lot of help and support available. I hope that with the right help and support that in time you will start to feel better and be able to move forward and feel happier in yourself.........let us know how you are getting on, good luck and very best wishes to you,,,,,,,,,,
