I feel...

QueenieSenior Contributor

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...

Hearing you, @Queenie. I'm a bit wayward at the moment too. Too nervy all over, it's hurting my body. But that could just be age catching up with me too. I'm going to try to do a bit more housework. Hope your feelings pick up.

Re: I feel...

I'm sorry to hear things are so tough today @Queenie- stay connected with us and I hope you can break things down to small items as a way of coping.

Do you have any ideas of what some of those small items made be? A rest, a walk, what distraction techniques speak to you?

It sounds like your Mrs has your back, thank you Mrs 🙂

Please feel welcome to contact Help Centre if you feel that would be helpful too @Queenie

Thinking of you......

Re: I feel...

I'll try to contact the HC tonight @Former-Member. I tried until close last night, but couldn't get through. I think it has been busy of late.
