Feeling sad

Anna1212

I'm feeling lonely and sad today.  I seem to have so little control over my life.  My exhaustion in itself is really limiting.  I need rest so bad but my list of responsibilites is so long.  It's either I'm running around constantly or in bed crashing. 


I was driving back from the store today and I just had this thought that this was it for me.  I'm a sad, lonely person.  I always will be.  No judgement about it, that's just me.  Not everyone is the same.  Sometimes I watch television or even in real life see people out having a good time, laughing, doing some group activity, etc. and it's not something I would want to do even if I had the chance. I'm a hardcore introvert from birth. 


Well, it's just hard to cope in a world where you are different.  My idea of a good time is being unconscious in bed or stuffing myself with pizza while watching videos or just being at home doing nothing in complete silence.  Thanks for listening.  Have a nice Sunday.

Hi there, please try Sahaja Yoga. Here is a link to self realization https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwKd9hUtc4w&t=4s

Several of us suffered from loneliness and depression before coming to Sahaja Yoga and it has changed thousands of lives.

Take care

I am sorry to hear that you are sad and lonely. Have you thought of taking up a course? It will help you to utilise your time and perhaps will lead to a job opportunity somewhere down the line. You like writing, and your writing is thoughtful, so perhaps you can take up a course that relates to writing. How does that sound?

Hi there, i am sorry you are so lonely. You can be introvert and still reach out to someone who seems like your kind, the worst you would get is a no. Reach out, be a friend to someone else who looks lonely. get out and say hi to neighbors, then strike up a conversation by a compliment to their hair or shoes or ... and relate it to something you like, and before you know it, you are seeing a friendship. Take your vitamins so you are feeling your best and have more good energy. Get in the sun to brighten your moods and just be friendly. =)

Hi Anna
I think sometimes we just have these "moments" or even days. We feel sad, alone, hopeless and unheard. Having "suffered" from depression for many years I know that sometimes it helps just knowing that others are there. If you haven't been there, it's nearly impossible to truly get it. It's not always about one particular issue, at least with me. We are already friends I believe. As Bluebird just mentioned, message me anytime.

Have you ever find the reason for such behavior? I mean social life is crucial for developing habits. You can't keep yourself alone like this throughout your life, try to test your limits by communicating with other people, and learn from them.
