Just feeling kinda lonely which leads to overthinking,anxiety and depression. Sometimes even with family around who do support me, I still feel alone in my struggles because it's only me right....
I'm always afraid everyday how my story goes and how it will end in this life.
I trust God. I can't help at times to still feel scared of my life everyday at times.
I don't mean to sound so dramatic but this is how I felt for many years. Idk just a vulnerable moment again I guess.
Do you take medication and what has doctor/therapist advised to help?
Inderal and seroquel
but do they help at all?
They do definitely. But I still have those days.
I have same issues add to that failing health and no family support. Read other posts and you will see same.
I know and I'm sorry to hear that..
Hey Shield. Hang in there. Totally expected with anxiety disorders and or the depression to have those moments. Heightened senses and thoughts. Just don’t let the fear lead you. I hear ya on feeling alone in those moments. Though you’re surrounded with love. Just do some deep breathing meditation and practice mindfulness, identifying things around you and just naming them aloud for a few minutes. Quiets the anxiousness. 🙏🏻
Thank you and your right, I'm trying, it gets difficult. But thanks for the support!
You’re welcome. You’re not alone. Even when it feels like it in the midst of anxiety.
Thank you, I'm trying to hold onto that. I get lost in my mind very easily, I start to feel very alone.
Yes that is easy to happen and then easy to get caught up in the thoughts and fear. That’s where the mindfulness helps a lot. Kinda nips the non stop thinking or thoughts firing off and just re directs ur mind a bit. Venting is great too. 🙏🏻
Thanks for that support. It really helps. 🙏🙂
I have been feeling like you lately. I’m trying to stay strong and keep my faith.
Yes it's really hard. But I keep trying but it gets scary and very difficult. I'm trying to still Hope and hang in there. 🙏
Hang in there too! I think I’m so lonely because I’m missing something inside myself - like self-confidence and worth. Plus I’m struggling with being present in the moment.
That's my problem too. I'm always struggling with my self worth and confidence. I'm always feeling pointless and worthless compared to other people who have done amazing things and have relationships, friendships and connections. I feel I'm just here, nothing to offer. I know its not true, my family tells me that. But still compared to others, which I shouldn't compare myself. One of my other biggest problems. I'm just mentally tired. I'm trying to stay strong. I'm sorry for your struggles too. 🙏
Oh goodness can I relate to your struggle with comparison. It's a trap that is very difficult to free ourselves from. There is a mantra that helps me: "Focus on you until the focus is you." I have had to continually (and I mean continually... it's work) redirect myself when I start having thoughts of how much better others are doing... how much more they know, do, and have.
Thinking that way left me feeling ill... so behind that there was no way to catch up.
But then I read lots of supportive memes and writings here & there & it started to stick. The whole, "Only compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today."
It helped as I started to make small improvements in myself, that led to bigger ones.
I think it takes a lot of practice to keep ourselves focused on us, and our individual growth.
And the growth really does add up!
I also count "wanting" to change & grow as a win. I try and take pride in my desire to do better, be better. That counts a lot!

Thank you! I appreciate that! I've seen some small changes here and there in me through the Grace of God! I still have a lot of issues to work on and more growing to do. Thanks for your support! It means alot. 🙏
You are welcome!I don't know what I would do some days without my Faith.
These last few years I've leaned on it with all my heart.✨️🙏✨️
Most definitely! 🙏🙂
I am sorry you are lonesome. I can relate. I am going through similar things. I used to have friends and relatives I talked to every day but they are mostly gone now. I try to stay busy and to keep reaching out to people but it is scary.
Besides my family I have no other friends.I want try to reach out to people but your right it is scary, terrifying for me. I struggle with self confidence, self worth,agoraphobia so it's hard for me to go anywhere and most of all social anxiety.
I sometimes have a really tough time being in my own skin. I'm trying but idk my mind is everywhere. But I appreciate your support and response. 🙏
If your faith is strong you should be fine, just give it up to him.
I'm not a person of any faith, yet I notice that. although I have been depressed in the past, I have managed to get through on my own two feet. I have survived my husband's suicide, and brought up my children alone.
Cheers, Midori
