Lonely

Hi @Stuart9726

There is an app for the forums. If you go to the play store and type in Sane Forums it should come up. That way you can use it from your phone.

It's ok if all you are doing today is surviving. Some days are just write off's and that fine. I have those days too.

If it helps, then scream as loud as possible. Out loud or into a pillow. Just let it all out. It might just let out some of that tension within yourself.

When my days are really hard, I normally spend the day in bed or on the couch. Most of the time, still in pj's! I shut people out too (another thing my psych and I are working on).

Something else I do is try do some self care. Something nice for myself. It can be as much as having a bath or even just having a hot milo whilst watching my favourite tv shows. Doing something you enjoy, eating some chocolate!! Small little things can turn into one big thing.

Honestly, these things don't always work. Some days I am my own worst enemy and just hide away and not let anyone help me. I try one thing, it doesn't help, so I just give up on everything else. I tell myself I'm not worth it.

We will all have those days. However it does help knowing that I am not alone.

I'm happy to chat some more. Haven't got much on this afternoon so always happy to connect with others on here.

I'm sorry that you are going through such a tough time.

It's good that you are reaching out. Just don’t spend time with those who will bring you down– In loneliness there can be such an urgency and desperation to fill the empty time and spaces that we may find ourselves clinging to just about anyone.

Too often, these can be people who aren’t good for us.

But time moves forward. People return to their routines.

And you—changed forever—remain.
