Not Coping

I have no clue @tyme

I'm sorry.

KHL not helpful. why do I even bother? I want my regular @tyme

Maybe I'll try that @Shaz51

I've fucked up I need help.

Sorry if this is too late to reply to this post. I think it was from Nov 2022. I've been having this horrible feeling for a few years now. When I'm in a group or even one-2-one, I still feel completely alone... so disconnected just lonely.

How did you get rid of this feeling?

I tried ser-tra-line, made me feel worse. Tried counselling, did nothing. Tried cit-alo-pram, was allergic.

I'm sure you're in a different time in your life (sounds like you're early 20's maybe?)

I'm in my mid 30's and I just feel no connection to anyone anymore. All my close friends have been married and raising babies for years, I still haven't met anyone I'd want to marry, so I'm the odd one out.

Just feel so alone all the time, and worse than that, feel I've completely lost the ability to feel genuine connection to other humans. I never thought this would happen to me... very depressed and anxious.

How did you get rid of the lonely and isolated feelings?

Thanks

And I genuinely hope you're feeling great! 😊

Why did I do this to myself I feel like crap? I’m waiting to see a MH nurse the doctor says I'm fine even though I'm vomiting.

Don't give up on your healing journey @BluntBo

I've been married, raised/raising kids, all that...and still landed over my head in anxiety, depression, aloneness...

Medications? Yes...I hardly feel they work for me, either...

I don't know if there's "getting over" issues like anxiety and depression? Maybe...?

For me, I am lowering my expectations to the point of accepting my illness and learning best how to manage with it all. After so long, this seems like a more achievable goal then the herculean task of completely overcoming EVERYTHING.

That brings my attention to small things I can do that may just have a cumulative affect towards improvement. So, I CAN ask for help. I CAN sit through the emotions (sometimes). I CAN forgive myself for despairing and feeling weak. I CAN try again tomorrow. I CAN do something nice for me. I CAN do something nice for a stranger or new friend.

that doesn't take the hurt away @Birdofparadise8

You know this.

Please take care. And believe in how strong you are. I think our friend @creative_writer would tell you this, too. And she'd be right!

So take care and let yourself heal. 🧡🫂

I've taken something @Kyle1

I'm so sick. I'm also very stupid.

yeah... sorry to hear that @Birdofparadise8

Sounds like you were having a great amount of overwhelm and wanted the pain to stop.
