A vague introduction

I do not know where to begin. I joined the depression, loneliness, and breakups & divorce support groups because those seem to encapsulate the major themes of my life at this point. I would join a failure group if it existed as well. I am new to this so I do not know how unappealing an incredibly long post would be to read. I have a lot to write about, I suppose, but a side effect of my current mental state is lack of concentration and I am not sure that I am incredibly coherent either. I do not know where to begin. I am not sure if I want help or if I just want someone to commiserate with. I know I do not want platitudes. I am very cynical and increasingly misanthropic. I feel like I am in a state of animated stagnation. I am trying to progress towards a future but I find my present state of mind is making that very difficult. I am being vague, I know, and I suppose I will be more specific with time but this is all I can muster right now.

You sound very honest. And in pain. I know about psych pain. Just hang out here for a bit with us, you'll at least not feel alone with your stuff. That helped me a lot when I first got here, knowing I am not alone.

Reveal or not...do so at your own pace. At the very least, I suggest that your follow the threads for a bit. Choose those you find helpful and seek out the people you think you may relate to. Best wishes.

Viva - sometimes journalling helps you organize your thoughts - just a suggestion. I hope you will check into the links that Z gave you - they are invaluable.

I agree with Lynn... for me journaling has been invaluable. I'm able to keep my thoughts to myself or share them with those I want... (friends or everyone) When I'm comfortable I do share tidbits and questions I might have here on this board.
Hugs Viva... I know right now things seem very confusing and almost impossible to understand. It will get better in time though. Open up when you are ready :)

Just wanted to add my welcome, and echo the sentiments of the others, that sometimes writing it all down helps clear the head and the heart. I am so sorry that you find yourself here, but think it will be a valuable addition to your life, as it has mine..
Please take time to read that first link that ZXJ left you which is the manual that we put together for newcomers. I hope that you will find something in it to bring some peace and comfort at this awful time. Healing hugs, Kimmee

The good news is that you know how you feel and are able to coherently communicate it. You're a writer, so write. Write stream-of-consciousness, write a vignette for a day, write a chapter book. It helps.
You said twice that you do not know where to begin. But you do - you are here. Hey, I got yer platitude right here: "A single, simple quote can change your world." Smile Fair winds.
