New and Lost

New and Lost

Hi. I’m new. I’m in a really dark place and I’m so lost, I have nobody to confide in. I’m using and I feel like a failure. I’m a fraud. I just don’t know what to do. That’s it.

Re: New and Lost

I feel so alone. It’s really crap. I don’t even know myself anymore. I don’t like myself. I feel I’m just heading headfirst into my own undoing.

@MyLifesJourney it's hard to feel like you don't know yourself anymore. I understand not liking yourself, I feel like that too. Have you considered going to a gp to get some referrals to see a counsellor/psychologist?

You are not alone, I'm here with you.

Re: New and Lost

Welcome @MyLifesJourney it's really nice to meet you

I can hear that you're in a very hard spot right now and it can be hard to pull yourself out of that, particularly when you're alone, but you've taken a huge step in reaching out here today. We're here with you

Just a quick forums tip too: When you want to reply to someone you can tag them by hitting the "@" button which will bring up a list of suggested usernames. This ensures that they get notified of your response. You'll know it's worked when the username comes up in blue like this: @Former-Member

Re: New and Lost

Hi @Former-Member . I can’t see someone about how I’m feeling because if anyone was to find out, I would jeopardise my career and my future.
