Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I've been feeling very lonely. I guess that's pretty typical for me but it feels really bad today. things aren't going well at work or with my family. everything is so messed up. i like someone who doesn't care about me, i mean i am attracted to and interested in someone who doesn't care about me. i've never gotten over it and it happens over and over. it's such a sad feeling not to be liked back.
How is your Mom? Is everything alright at home? My mother is very stressed from being cooped up at home. My mother is driving me crazy at home. I have to cook, clean, wash, iron, scrub, sterilise, do my homework, go to the doctor......... and rest on top of everything else because I have been given a self-isolation order due to a suspected Corona infection. After 3 weeks of misery, I've graduated from being bedridden/fatigue/aches & pain/coughing/headaches...... to feeling fantastic and fabulous :)
I can imagine how difficult it must be for you to juggle work and caring for your mother with the COVID panic in the background. In my state, people are losing their jobs and afraid that they will not find employment after the lockdown order is lifted. This must be the persuasive point to keep you working at a toxic work place. Having worked in many toxic work places, I can understand the stress that you are going through.
You are a good person whose empathy and humility have made you into a wonderful friend. I cannot imagine who would not have liked you. Whoever it is that cannot see your good qualities must be blind and deserved to be ignored. You will find the right one in the future, and when you do, he will not be the one who demand you to placate his ego. There are so many wonderful people on this earth, I cannot believe that God in his infinite grace, would not grant you a companion.
If I were you working in your toxic employment, I would ignore the b&^%$#ds who had ignored me. The first step in self improvement is loving yourself, and as I can see, you are well loved by all our friends on the forum.
Be happy, be content, be impartial,,,,,, and Have a Nice Day! Marie :)
Try talking to your family and be honest about what you are feeling. Have you approached this person you are interested in and expressed your feelings? Sometimes we are clueless to how others feel. If you were rejected, just remember there are a lot of others out there. You deserve someone who accepts you for who you are. Also if this is a person you work with, consider what would happen if you did get together and then broke up. It would be difficult to work together. Sometimes office romance is problematic. I wish you the best. Be self-compassionate.. Try not to be hard on your-self.
Am sorry to hear what you are going through right now. I can understand that not having a good support from loved once and co-workers makes life overwhelming sometimes. My dear you deserve better and have to make choices with your interest at heart. Its not healthy encouraging unhealthy relationship. Its not good for your emotional health. You have the power to choose your friends and control some of the things that goes around your life. Until you take charge things may not change. If you want a different life than what you have now, then you can start doing small things differently. Taking one step at a time. I am alone most of the times and sometimes barely talk to a single soul, but I try to keep myself busy and entertaining myself. Reading, listening to inspirational messages, giving myself treat and anything I can think of. You can also look through your contact and say hello to good friends you haven’t talked or chat with for a while. That will begin a conversation with someone. Am also here anytime you need someone to chat with. Sending love and hugs your way
