I feel alone too. MY family, friends cannot understand my mental illness or work problems. I don't see anyone. Only my parents.

I go through the same with family and friends. My mom was the only one that didn't judge me when it came to my mental illness. My siblings and friends jus don't understand. It's a cruel having a mental health illness, I've lost jus about everything because of it.

Yes, I have been in the position to feel a loss ahead of time, the person at the end of life or really sick. That is called ambiguous loss when we mourn or grieve and the person is still alive but the relationship is basically over. This type of loss is confusing and hard to understand. The world tells us we should or must not feel this loss ahead of time. But it is normal human ways of knowing our loved one is at the end of life. You are normal in these feelings.

Our siblings may just put their feelings aside and not acknowledge them or maybe they are uncaring.

When we have a good loving parent, it can be a big loss to us. There are grief support groups that can teach us how normal our feelings are and how to move forward in life. My friend did one and it helped her move forward in life and learn to be on her own, etc. (spouse died suddenly).

Thank you for the advice, my heart is broken knowing shes at the end of her life. It's huge loss indeed. I'll look into grief support groups here on ds. I have depression and anxiety so it's hitting me big time right now.. The pain I'm feeling is huge. Praying the dear Lord helps me through this pain and grief

Hugechug of comfort and support sent sweetie

Maybe a real life depression group could help you

It may give you the support that you need right now...xo

There isnt anything available here where I live. I wish there was, because I'm having a hard time and I got my car fixed and it's still messing up. Everything is going wrong for me. I can't catch a break it's been horrible this whole month.

Nothing is going good for me. . I wish there were support groups here where I live, but there's not. I'd go. It's been one thing after another.

Look up MeetUp's...They're free and people meetup for Aall kinds of reasons including depression

I would also talk to ypur doctor and see if he/she can refer you to a support group

Thank you, I'll look it up, The Drs here suck unfortunately. The waiting list is long for a psychatrist. I jus started talking to a therapist. Idk I'll see if that helps, but idk, hopefully it works out, will see. I'm sick of having depression and anxiety. It's so hard to deal with. and I've had it for too many years. I've lost a lot due to it. My mom passed today and my heart is broken.

I was in a similar place looking for a therapist, went to my dr and said I Need Referral Now For Psychiatrist and got one!

You might also look into on line therapy...or use chatgpt.com as a therapist...I do that...yes it's ai, but for me being alone it's at least some feed back.

I lost my Dear Mom in 1994, 3 days before her 75th birthday...today all my birth family is gone, including brother and sister.

Family dynamics are tricky, they may have issues that you don't know about, as you have issues they don't understand...doesn't make it right. What I've learned along the road of life is that one can't give/understand what they have never experienced or been taught,,,I hope this will help you to not feel so badly or alone...we here on ds are here to support you...keep reaching out.

Do what you can to keep up your own health, eating well, drinking fluids and getting sleep the best you can...So Very Important for your mental health. If you can, go out for walks being in nature, walking bare foot on the grass heals the body. <3

A GP can refer you China...it doen't have to be a pdoc

Thank you miro853 for your advice, I guess I want my siblings to understand my depression and anxiety but they don't, like you said they've never experienced it. My appetite is not good from my depression. I've lost weight. It's weird how depression does that. I have no real support system now that my mom is gone. I feel so alone now, it sucks. Thanks suncloudd. I won't be able to see one til next month..

I can relate to this, I'm also worried about what happens when I lose my parents. Ironically, my parents are in part a large cause of my issues as they were abusive when I was a kid, but were also the only ones there for me when things were challenging in work life as an adult. I get worried too. I really feel this.

Yes, it's been so hard dealing with the loss. She was the person I could talk to about anything and very wise with advice. My siblings are riding my ass now, because my depression has worsened since our mom passed. My brother told me some mean things today. That I'm going to end up alone because of my depression and that I needed to get some help because I'm going to end up alone. I guess he thinks I should jus get over my moms passing and that it's going to eat me alive. Like wth? What an asshole.
