Isolated myself

it all started a month ago. I pushed people away then get lonely. I want friends then I don't. Also I can never do right, I have a hard time communicating and expressing myself. I get depressed easily and happy once in the blue. I'm in a good place in life, but my pessimistic thoughts won't allow me to enjoy

I can relate fully to what you've said, I cut myself off from others, even ending relationships and then I get lonely and am desperate for human contact and other's don't seem to understand this so I come off just looking weird.

Yup, I do this from time to time and idk why. It doesn't help isolating, but for some reason I think it helps.

Have you seen about getting a diagnosis? Maybe borderline personality disorder, which is curable. Entirely curable. :)

I haven't been diagnosed with anything, but I'm pretty sure it's a name for whatever I'm going through. Thank you for that suggestion

I have it, too. I just want to be alone. Then I'm sad I'm alone. But when I'm with people I am distracted by my thoughts.

Sounds like you are in need of love in your life but you are unwilling to do what you have to do to find that love. Don't be so hard on yourself. Reflect a positive attitude and others will be drawn to you like a magnet!

God Bless

Thank you all. I've been taking it one day at a time, trying my best to find a positive mindset. Easier said than done

    check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
