Something’s not right

I feel very alone

I feel very alone

I feel very alone at the moment, I probably shouldnt I have a family I am close too and some good friends but none of them are people I can talk to about what is going on with me at the moment. I cant tell them how sacred and tired I am and how much I am struggling just to do everyday tasks or how the devil keeps sending me messages or what the other voices say to me or how even going to bed is a struggle. I cant tell them about how scared I am of what is going to happen or how I just want to scream all the time. I tried telling one friend but they just kept saying what everyone else has said to me "take the meds you are mentally ill" I just want someone who understands someone who believes me so who gets that this isnt just in my head. I know they cant see it the way i do but how am I meant to be able to trust anyone if things just get dismissed. no one really wants to deal with me and my experiences. there is so much i am tired of carrying on my back all alone.

Re: I feel very alone

@Gwynn @TideisTurning I did manage to get onto a helpline today but it kind of made things worse idk the person just kept saying they didnt know what to suggest and it made me feel a little more hopeless. I have tried those other exercises and stuff too but they arent reallt helping at the moment. idk nothing really is at the moment but thanks anyway.

@Snowie thanks, how are you today? I am not having a great day.

I feel like no one in my life has space for me and my problems and i uderstand everyone is going through their own stuff but i try really hard to make space for others in my life to talk about what they need too and i try my best to understand and listen and be there for them but i feel like lately no one has space for me and my problems like even when i am having a really hard time i make space for others but i feel like it doesnt always go the other way and maybe that is too much of an expectation idk I just feel like no one has space for me.

Re: I feel very alone

Hi @Eden1919 it is tough to feel the way you do. People do have space for you, it just may feel they don't when it is difficult to feel understood. Please contact the helplines again and reach out for support, even telling them what you need, that you just want someone to listen and sit with you can be helpful. it is difficult when you feel alone, but you are not alone. please take care of yourself

Re: I feel very alone

@jazz I did tell the person on the helpline that i just wanted them to listen but they kept trying to suggest things i had already been trying and then just ended up saying they didnt know what to do and ended the call. people say reach out for support but what support? there isnt that much out there to be honest and even if it is half the time it is out of reach, reach out to who? to where? to what? i genuinely dont know what to do anymore and i am not asking for advice i am just saying that i feel very lost right now.

Re: I feel very alone

@Snowie @P12 Hi sorry I took so long to respond I was taken back to hospital and only got out a few days ago. Thank you both for your responses @P12 sure what did you want to talk about?

I am feeling weird since leaving hospital and there is a lot going on that is hard to explain. I am still struggling a lot with self care and I am on new meds which aren’t really doing much at the moment I am feeling really stressed about uni too.
