I feel...

I feel...

I feel desperately lonely yet, I feel like I don't belong anywhere. I don't belong in the 'Normal' world because I am tarred with the brush of mental ill health, yet because I've sort of stabilised now, I don't belong with my former peers either. I feel beige, uncoloured and boring with no emotion really even though if I had to say anything it is gutted. I feel trapped in a world I don't want and didn't ask for, yet whenever I try and break the shackles of failure, I am thrust back into the dark and reminded yet again of my failures (my Father is a constant person to remind me). I feel alone, even in a crowded room. I feel unheard, even if I am screaming loudly.

I guess I am just searching for something and not sure what.

Does anyone else feel beige?

Re: I feel...

I feel... as though if I disappeared nobody would miss me.

I spent hours and hours playing on my playstation today and started crying because nobody even came to see me or talk to me. I could hear them all happily chatting away and made me realise if I wasn't here, sure there'd be some sadness initially, but I'd soon be forgotten.

Makes me kind of want to quit trying.

Re: I feel...

Thank you for saying that @outlander. I wish I could be assured that people would miss me irl. I came home from doing some Christmas shopping yesterday and just realised... rather it hit me... the people I am buying for wouldn't miss me if something happened to me. People like my in-laws, my Mrs' kids, my family, my friends... I just don't seem to connect with people very well at all. Most of the time I just float through the cyber world, anonymous and scared. People in the real world can be very cruel.

Re: I feel...

Yeah I remember @outlander. Way back when.

I guess I'm just feeling kinda low at the moment. In ten days time will be an important anniversary of my best friend's passing and I am really struggling with it. It seems everyone but me has forgotten her. I miss her a lot. She gave me a really big trophy once she has bought saying on the plaque "Best Friend Award". I gave her a trophy saying the same thing, because back then neither of us had ever won a trophy for anything.

Re: I feel...

Aww @Queenie that is really nice thats a really good memory to have. She mustve been pretty special to you i can understand why you would feel like that
Does it help to talk about the happy memories about her? Im happy to listen to whatever you have to say

In response to: Re: I feel...

Re: I feel...

One really fond memory I have of her is that we used to dress up in silly disguises and go to random shopping malls and act like normal shoppers. I'm talking fake moustaches, beards, big Elton John style glasses, funny hats, big clown shoes... you name it. People used to come up to us and offer us money for whatever cause we were raising money for. Our response was always the same "we're not raising money, we're raising laughs".

I really miss having someone I can do that kind of silly stuff with. A lot of my friends say I should forget my friend because of how she died and told me it was the coward's way out, but I don't think of Sui like that at all. She wasn't a coward, she was one of the bravest people I knew. In the end, her MI just beat her is all.

Omgoodness @Queenie i bet heaps of people got a laugh out of that! What a classic

Im not with those friends of yours i wouldnt be forgetting her not one bit. Have you thought about raising awareness with mental health with her as an example. Like telling your experiences with her but also how she passed to urge others to get help with their mh?
Just a suggestion no need at all th take it any further than hear ❤❤

Re: I feel...

I don't know @outlander, it might be just too hard for me even though it's been 10 years. Her family blamed me for her dying and won't even tell me where her grave is. Her friends and I had a memorial for her and released butterflies. There was once a mh awareness website with her story on it, but that organization has since closed, taking the website with it. I only have one picture of my friend. We never seemed to take photos much, even of our silly disguises.

Re: I feel...

Aww im sorry to hear that @Queenie I really am. I wish i could come and give you a bear hug! You really need it. Treasure that picture Q it was in no way your fault. I think you helped her with all the things you got up to. Treasure the memories you have of her. Please dont ever blame yourself ok and when you start to forget i will be here to help you back up or ill sit with you on the floor till your ready to get bac up ❤❤
