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 ended up having a nap for a few hours when the party finished. The Mrs and the kids watched a DVD, so they let me sleep. I still feel exhausted though so might go to bed early.

Thank you for thinking of me @outlander. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness.

It's all because their deadbeat Dad will not pick them up. One child has a cold and we have to travel in torrential rain. It is going to be interesting @outlander!

Re: I feel...

Hey @outlander (love the new avatar btw), I've been suffering from acute exhaustion in the past few days. Yesterday was the Mrs' birthday so we were out all day. All I want to do is sleep all the time, but I never wake refreshed. Today is a difficult day as it is the 10th anniversary of my best friend's death by suicide. Instead of tears, I just feel even more exhausted.

I've discussed things with the Mrs and respite isn't an option as well have far too much on until the New Year and then, even more things next year with college and holidays in between.

I don't know what I should be feeling but it is close to cracking point.

Re: I feel...
