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?

Hi @Queenie. I see you and hear you.

Re: I feel...

Thank you @outlander and @Mazarita for reaching out to me.

Last night was a disaster. Today is even worse. I've bailed myself up in another room to keep from interacting with anyone.

On the verge of either exploding or giving up. Today I want to drink (I can't though because what kind of example would I be showing the kids?). I feel like reverting to my old ways because then at least I had a reason for my behaviours. If I harm myself, they will just say it's the drugs and drink. Not something darker. I want to be out of control and be on the fringe (where I belong). I have nothing to offer anymore anyway.

Re: I feel...

sorry last night was a disaster, would you like to talk about it? @Queenie

one step at a time Q, you head to respite in- i think 2 weeks?- could you put in a more detailed safety/self care plan until then?

Re: I feel...

I don't know @outlander. I got paid yesterday and I am just having this overwhelming feeling of blowing it all on some really negative stuff. I guess I have to implement a safety plan and get my stuff together, otherwise, they won't accept me into the peer house (they don't accept people in crisis). I am to meet next Friday with the workers, but it seems so hopeless. I figure if something were to happen to me, there'd be few that would actually care. My Mrs sure, she'd be upset for a while, but it would pass and she'd move on. The kids don't give a crap about me, they think of me as some sort of major inconvenience for them. My family hate me, especially my Father and stepmother.

Sorry I'm just rambling. I shouldn't. I should just shut the hell up. Please accept my apologies.

I'm just red is all.

Hi there @Queenie CandyCane one of the moderators here. I read your last post and get the sense that you are facing a difficult time and there is much going on at the moment. It sounds like you are feeling disconnected from important people in your life and you are hurt and sad. We value you as a member of the forums and encourage you to stay connected and receive support from your peers. However, you are the best authority on what is best for you at this stage and we leave the decision to you. Please feel free to send through an email to the Sane Admin team if you would like to chat.

Re: I feel...

I had a really bad night last night. I am exhausted in every sense of the word.

I try the whole fake it til you make scenario and I feel like I'm drowning in blackness. I want to drink, but am holding out because of the fact, while it gives you a temporary elated feeling, alcohol is a depressant.

I feel like I'm in trouble here on the forum? I'm sorry if I caused trouble, never meant to be a pain in the butt (just being honest here). I just want to feel better. Just reaching out.

Re: I feel...

@Queenie ❤ im not doing so well but am here listening.
What makes you say your in trouble on here ..?

In response to: Re: I feel...

Re: I feel...

@Queenie, we are here for you my friend

sitting with you and listening , here if like to talk

In response to: Re: I feel...

Re: I feel...

Hugs @Queenie - im not sure why you feel as though you are 'in trouble' here either, from my seat you havent done anything wrong at all... I think i can see why you might be feeling it but dont want to assume. I'm sorry i havent been here much lately.
I'm glad that you are resisting having a drink, i imagine that it must be really draining itself - is there something that would help to distract you from it but be helpful in another way?
Please keep reaching out and sharing but i get that its equally important to feel heard when we do reach out too... sitting here with you
