I could really use a friend

I could really use a friend

I've been so anxious and down for almost a year trying so many things , I just guess I'd love to not feel so alien , to have someone to chat to about anything and everything from music and movies through to bad days and inner thoughts , I'm scared being alone in my own head is what will eventually end me 😞 -Ney

@MagicAnt - those walks around the parks sound so relaxing. I also enjoy doing this whenever I can 😊

Re: I could really use a friend

@MagicAnt and @TRIANGLE thanks so much for chatting I hope you both do stay in touch , I did see it was sunny out and got myself all teary I dident even sit with Netflix but I couldent switch off to sleep though I spent a fair portion of the day trying! So cool your in a band @MagicAnt my music is very mood based so today it was London grammar , Damien rice , Lana del ray , Florence and the machine .... then go to covers like johnny cashs cover of hurt ... if it made me an unrequited teary mess .... that was my list today 😕 , I too have a crazy amount of Star Wars Lego ... actually I have a lot of lego full stop lol I occasionally put photos of lego and pop figures on my instagram account ' neypics ' , but I've even lost motivation to do those things I love at the moment 😞 I know the motivation will always come back it's these bits in between I wish I could just sleep forever through

Hey there @Ney, you might want to edit your last post to remove your Instagram account name, so you can remain anonymous.

Yeah @Former-Member I hear you so much it was just today's anxiety triggered by this feeling of complete and utter alienation from people 😞 I went to call lifeline but hung up when I heard the persons voice on the other end overrhinking I had nothing to say explain how I was feeling as that was my problem , I tried to find somewhere and it brought me here. I have a psychologist appointment Monday but so far I've never left one feeling anything is clearer . I think my problem is overthinking but right now being alone in my own head feels like a very dangerous place to be 😞 . I have so many things I enjoy but this last year I've lost most of them I find I've lost the motivation to even try and this just spirals me lower. I'm a photographer by trade but I stopped posting and any booking I get now I dread before hand and get crippling anxiety and don't feel I do a great job ... it's working to pay the bills ... not because its the thing I loved so much. I love going on adventures just taking off in the car finding steeet art , going to ngv , movies and concerts but I've set myself up to fail thinking it will be no fun on my own 😞

Re: I could really use a friend

@Shaz51 I read the books years ago, so the TV series was something I looked forward to. It really sucks you in, although it can be a bit brutal to watch at times.

Re: I could really use a friend

How about the adventure shows on tv @MagicAnt, @Ney, or like silent witness
