Life

I just feel so alone and empty but I know there are people there. I can’t sleep or focus due to this and also anxiety. What can I do. It’s Xmas and I don’t want to snap at my family. Ugh I just feel really low and I can’t seem to get out of it... ☹️

Hi Roseamelia, my heart goes out to you. I know the feeling. I'm here for you if that helps any. I'm alone a lot. It's just my husband and myself right now, but with the trouble we're having sometimes I wish he wasn't here. No Christmas celebration this year for us. No tree, no decorations, no treats, no gifts. Our children are also not able to be with us. I don't think my husband will even attend the Christmas Eve service with me. This is the worst Christmas ever. I am so sad. Oh, and my son passed away two years ago. I am so sad. I wish I had a friend. Hence the reason I joined this group. I wish I had some words of encouragement for you, but at the moment, I have none. I do have a dog that has been a wonderful companion to me this past year. He's a Rough Collie and turned one on December 16th. I purchased Laddie because of my loneliness, but its just another reason my husband is bitter towards me. He didnt want him. Laddie is a truly devoted companion to me and I love him with all my heart. I hope the sun starts shining for you.

Warmest Wishes,

Carol

I understand how you feel. I feel the same. I’m lonely all year round, but feel it more st Christmas. Used to be a great time of year when I was a kid. All the family together. All dead now apart from me. Weird. The 1950’s and 60’s were great christmases. Didn’t have much but we were all together. I don’t really like people so don’t know why I feel sad being on my own. At least I enjoy reading. I miss talking with people. Miss my family. Hope there’s an afterlife. Just try and hang on over Christmas. You’ll feel better come January. And if u feel like snapping at a few people go ahead and do it. Hopefully they’ll then realise what you’re going through. Good luck.

Hi Roseamelia

I to suffer like you, I have bad anxiety where I don't want to go out because I am afraid of seeing people, and I mean anybody. I really do have a great family but because of my Depression I'm pushing them away. I don't mean to but I don't want to speak to anyone. My friends ask me out to socialise but it puts the fear of God into me, so I choose not to go. I would t blame them if they don't ask me anymore. I've lost my job so unfortunately that hasn't helped the situation I'm in. I don't like Xmas so I will be glad when it's all over and done with. I hope you find happiness soon and you can start enjoying life again. Good luck.
