Ive never felt so alone

I'm new on this site, I suffer with terrible anxiety and depression, on and off since I was 14. In the last 6 months I have completely alienated myself, I quit my job because I'd started breaking down in tears, yesterday my now ex boyfriend broke up with me, I had pushed him away to the point where he just couldn't cope with me anymore, I was so worried about losing him I clung on too tight, my family are away, and I'm left in a big empty house, no friends at all, no way of contacting my mum, and after being told by my ex to not contact him again, I have no where to turn. So I'm here, just hoping someone will listen, I wish I had someone here, I just want to cry and be held, I hate feeling vulnerable. And I'm struggling with the concept of life.

I am sorry you feel this way. being alone is real hard.you are doing the right thing by talking about it.you will feel better. I think we are all dealing with the concept of life in one way another. so you are not alone. just keep doing what you are doing by talking about it.

This is my first time on this site so I am not sure how things work but that does not mean that I do not have real world experience. Hang in there!!

Thank you both I keep trying to tell myself it'll get easier, but its so raw, and I'm a mess, I feel pathetic, my anxiety leads me from one negative thought straight to the next and then when I've exhausted that train of thought, on to the next, I get shakes, I want to scream and throw things, because I get so frustrated with how my mind works, I've tried medication, it worked for a while and then its like I became immune or maybe I stopped believing in it. I don't want to be on tablets my whole life. How do you cope with these feelings? Because at the minute I'm just crying and smoking continuously. I'm starting to become acrophobic and find any excuse not to be outside, around crowds, or uncomfortable situations.

This place exists so all of us can help one another and listen to and to be heard.

Feeling vulnerable is one of the worst feelings for me too. Which is why I don't seem to talk about my feelings. Then they build up until they're almost unbearable. So you're making a great step in reaching out and talking to people on here. I'm also new to this site and suffer from anxiety. You are not alone :)

I totally understand what your going through. And losing a romantic partner only enhances the anxiety and feeling like shit... I guess we just have to take it day by day... I hope these miserable feelings go away soon.. for us both.

Hey sjCapri. I'm truly sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time right now. Break ups alone are awful to experience and to experience it without a family support system.... I couldn't imagine the pain and struggle. But you are strong enough to ask for help and that is admirable. So many times I was feeling pain and loneliness and I just kept it inside to myself, which is extremely unhealthy. Sometimes the best therapy is to get your feelings and emotions out there for someone to hear and talk to about so youre definitely on the right path. Keep up the good work! Hope things get better for you soon.
