Feeling hopeless

Anna1212

I got some bad news tonight about a relative.  Very sad. Scary. I am just feeling completely lost.  That I am completely unsafe. Feeling like there is no way I can stay here in a life that feels that awful and scary and lonely. I don't know what else to do but write here.  How can someone be in their 50's and feel so unconnected and alone.  you'd think by now i'd have some kind emotional security, some support system. I'm feeling really bad. I don't even want to live throught the night. i really really don't.  I hope I pass away tonight.  that would be so meciful.

Anna1212:: You have an amazing way of putting feelings into words, I read your posts and am deeply touched by the searing emotions that come thru your words, We all have dark nights of the soul and sometimes those dark nights last for years. I too was caretaker of a mother who had dementia and felt like I was losing my mind trying to care for her and hold down a full time job. I deeply resented the lack of help from siblings who were capable put not willing to help out. My mother passed 11 years ago and the one thing I am so grateful for is that I feel a special closeness to her now that I would not have had I not cared for her like I did. I feel like she watches over me now like I watched over her when she was alive. You might feel alone and unloved but you are truly loved and never alone. Big hugs to you!

Thank you all. I can't write too much. I'm feeling really sad. I will come back later or tomorrow probably. Thank you all for being so kind and supportive towards me. It means a lot.

Anna1212, I've been feeling hopeless too the last couple of weeks. I decided to volunteer and walk for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (afsp.org) My thought is by helping others maybe I can help myself. Will be praying for your strength.

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon
