Please help

I can relate to some of what you say hope, I too have many of these problems, though I do not self harm I do to an extent understand it though, doctors and all such things can make things tougher sometimes I do most things to improve on my own as in a mental illness situation I see most accessible services to be akin to prostitution, you pay they care kinda thing and that doesn't work for me nor does it help with my trust issues. I have even started to consider trying to start an anxiety/depression support group though not sure that would work with my stress and then there is the possibility I could be the only one that turns up which wouldn't be to helpful either. Not sure if I am being helpful or not just thought I would drop in and say I am here if you need

@Redraw I feel so isolated. I havent self harmed in months but am using sleep and bed as a form of escape. I have stopped everything. I have pushed human beings away because of this. And am reminded daily. The only friend still in contact had something very severe happen in her life, I've known her for a long time before that too. and one family member who has experienced depression is in another state. But it's hard becuase everyone has their own life and family to look after and can't be there all the time. Your idea sounds amazing. *puts hand up* the only people who understand are those who know pain.

I do know isolated, my family is scattered around the state, I have one brother who isn't far away but I rarely see him same with friends I have one but we only see each other on the odd occasion I sleep a lot to I tend to sleep most of the day away but it doesn't help, as for my idea well especially where I am support groups and things are very limited but I don't know if I could start one I have good ideas but that's generally where things end, and being seasonal here it could be no one no one 100 people I am just a bit at a loss I try to escape a bit into my drawing but that's only so good it has to work and mistakes cause problems too can stop me for months. I got nowhere to go and no when it's not easy

Hi @MG1990 I am so sorry to hear you lost your mum... I can only imagine that's been such a difficult experience to go through after feeling like you were really starting to get somewhere? Can I ask when did you lose your mum? It sounds like you don't have much support around you? I hope you can feel welcome and among friends here.

Hi @MG1990

I am sorry that you lost the woman who was like a mother to you - it will take time to get over that

And yes - you can write that here - supporting people through grief is one reason this website is here

I have just passed the 30th anniversary of my son's death and the people here have been very supportive - really wonderful

And I hope that you can find some consolation - having someone who must have replaced your mother in some way die must have been an almost double loss - really hard to overcome - no need to push it - just let it come to pass - and it will - maybe often - but it will get easier
