Hang in there, I know how it is I could be alone in a huge crowd of people. Just hang in there.

I can relate to some of your feelings.....I have been overwhelmed with life causing me to feel hopeless and depressed:( So we both need to hang in there and do our best every day...when feeling down I just try to take things one day at a time.

It may SEEM like you are all alone, but in fact, you aren't. I know the feelings that you are going through. I apparently have been told I have chronic depression AND bi-polar. Unfortunately I'm low more then I'm high and going 250 MPH.... I agree with serenitys....a day at a time, don't overwhelm yourself...Keep talking to us. .At least you won't feel all alone in a crowd of people.

I have recently made a huge life altering change. I left my husband of 20 years and moved far away. I was in a bad way when I got here, but was lucky to come home to a friend and I found a therapist quickly. i eventually landed where I am. I live in a small camper next to my daughter, she was worried about me and wanted to know where I am. So, I moved in here and become alone. First time in my life I am in a place all alone. I was scared and depressed. i couldn't sleep. I had a picture my friend gave me from my safe place and it helped some. But, I spent alot of time crying. I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. Then, my grandkids came around and changed a lot for me. But, I still have days and days of depression and anxiety. I even keep busy on the internet with games and talking and doing other things. And even when I think I am doing alright, that small piece of my brain wants to drag me down. It does win out a lot. So, I find someone on line and talk to them for a long time. It is the only thing that helps me get through it. It has helped me stay alive many times. I am around most of the time. You can message me if you are interested in being able to chat sometimes. Just let me know.

Are you in any kind of therapy? If your brain is going so fast it might be missing the bits of your life that make you feel someone is listening. Are you in any kind of group or club that gives you easy friendships? The kind that puts no pressure on you?

The thing that makes me feel most alone is believing that no one else gets how I'm feeling. This place helps me deal with that.
