Something’s not right

Islands

as time goes by it becomes evident that nothing is getting better.

My antidepressants. My anti anxieties. My counselling. My social outings.

I AM STILL FEELING AWEFUL LONELY AND SAD AND PANICKED.

MOSTLY LONELY.

I make friends, but then never hear from them. Or they motion for me to "shrug it off", everyone has their problems they say, but then I don't hear from them again. And I'm thinking: wtf - if everyone's got their problems why are we isolating ourselves or others? Why aren't we leaning on each other? Gosh: even ants can manage that!

I feel so lost. So alone. I've begun to wake again, crying in the dark. It's turning me bitter, and I don't want to end up bitter. I'd rather die if I can't live beautifully.

Hi @creative_writer @Kyle1 ,

I'm sorry things seem so dark right now. I hear it is not a pleasant place to sit in.

I can't take your pain away, but I can sit with you.

What were some of the things you did this morning?

Re: Islands

this morning I cried @tyme

I dropped the children off at school and came home cried myself to sleep.

Re: Islands

@Kyle1, not shame in crying. I feel like a hypocrite for saying that because I feel ashamed of my tears. Maybe I need to be home alone more often.

Hi @tyme, how are you?

Re: Islands

I'm sorry to hear how that it must be so hard for you right now @Kyle1 - I see your usual chirpy, optimistic self. Did something happen to cause you to feel this way?

@creative_writer - another tough one it seems.

Today was okay for me. Not the best but not the worst.

I think once I have something to eat, I'll feel better 🙂

Re: Islands

well I did go through a recent rejection after what felt like a promising new connection. I feel a little led on, quite stupid, and completely uncared for @tyme

In response to: Re: Islands

Re: Islands

I'm sorry about that. It must be so painful to experience this. But this doesn't mean you are stupid or uncared for. @Kyle1

There are many people who really do care about you and appreciate you on the forums.

You are not alone.

Re: Islands

@tyme, yeah, not a fun day. I’ve been cranky all day.

My cousin said, food and sleep solve problems 🙂

Re: Islands

@Kyle1, we love you 💗

Re: Islands

Very true @creative_writer - food and sleep 🙂

I had pasta for dinner.

I read you made halva! That's pretty cool. I didn't think you could make it at home. I'll look it up later.
