Something’s not right

Feeling down

Banjomum1-Senior Contributor26 Apr 2025, 9:17 pm AEST

Feeling down

I came here yesterday to offer support to veterans, and I still want to do that.....but I myself have found myself feeling down and sad tonight 😞

This is not uncommon as it happens every now and then, not every day though.

It can happen without warning or I can feel it creeping up on me.

I'll automatically start to feel sadness and that intensifies....where I just can't get out of the mood.

I have people surrounding me yet I'm one of the loneliest people I know.

I have a partner who I've been married to for 19 yrs who has told me several times he doesn't love me, and I to have grown out of love with him.

He doesn't hold me or show any affection so I'm deprived of basic human needs.

I just want to be happy again and find someone who will one day love me.

Thanks for listening

Re: Feeling down

@Banjomum1- i feel that. I've had my fair share of abusive relationships, enough that I'll never enter into another one.
