Hi, honestly I don't know how I'm feeling. I can't figure out my emotions, am I sad? Numb? Happy? I just feel so empty, and I don't even know how to talk to people about it. I have my mom, I can't seem to talk to anyone else, it's like I'm scared to let people in. And it's effecting my life, I lost my best friend of 5 years because of it. I pushed everyone away and now I'm alone. I talk to no one. And I've started drowning myself in shows to esacpe my reality. It's getting to the point where I can't sleep or eat. I'm just drowning myself in TV and school. I feel so lost and so empty and I don't know what to do anymore. I've been like this for almost two months now. I feel like I'm losing myself again. I think about self harm a lot these days. I know it's bad, i know everything that I'm doing is wrong, but I don't know how to stop.

Hi BR, I’m here for you. I too pushed everyone away from me and kept running away moving to another country altogether and now another city. I was so confused for so long because I didn’t feel. I wasn’t sad, happy, angry.... just there. Slowing drifting through life. I think it is an important step you just took to reach out and open up about this to anyone that would listen. Well, I’m here to listen and will do so without any judgement or prejudice. You are not alone in this.

I'm so sorry but I can relate I've been struggling for about two months now too and having suicidal and self harm thoughts. I'm glad you have your mom to talk to and you have us!. I feel the same way where I don't want to let people in but I finally opened up this weekend and a lot of my friends showed they cared. Doing your school work in spite of how you're feeling is an accomplishment. I haven't been able to do much of mine in the last 3 weeks so be proud of that and there is nothing wrong with wanting to escape reality with your favorite shows if they bring you happiness. Hugs

Hi- I’m so sorry to hear that you are struggling. While reading your post it reminds me when I was going through empty nest syndrome. I was so sad that I could not even describe how sad I was. I felt so empty. I could not share my feelings to anyone even to my husband, I cried alone until I decided to share in one of parents’ support groups. I felt comforted after sharing and realized I was not alone. It made me realize that other parents are also going through the same sadness I was going through.

I’m glad you reached out. Keep sharing. I hope you will be comforted here as well. We are here for you. Praying for you for peace and strength you need each day. Please keep us posted.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
