Welcome @Aj2333 🥰

I understand this feeling all too well. What do you think has brought these feelings on so strongly today? I know that these thoughts can be louder for me if I am alone and in my head a lot, or experiencing lots of life stressors, or not engaging in my self-care practices. Curious to know if any of this resonates - maybe we can work through these bigger feelings together? 💪

You have come to the right place for connection and support... I am going to tag a few friendly faces who might be able to give you some love right now. 🫶

Hello @Aj2333 welcome to the forums.

I can relate to this feeling, and I am sitting with a similar mindset today. But, I know that it also has a trigger and it usually comes up as an abandonment thing. Understanding it helps a little.

Sitting with you, and well done for having the courage to reach out.

Hi @Aj2333 ,

Welcome to the forum and i appreciate the courage it takes to post and reach out - I am also glad you did.

I'm glad @AuntGlow tagged me. I have a long history of SI and depression with the inability to experience positive emotions or enjoyment. However the thing i find most helpful and meaningful in life is being able to chat to others and support them through their similar feelings.

I wonder what would help you most today?

E.g. simply knowing you are not the only person who feels this way?

Talking about the thoughts and feelings, and being heard and really listened to?

Social distraction? And/or getting to know people for connection?

Tips on how to calm emotions when they feel overwhelming?
