I am very alone inside my head....?

I was in inpatient and rehab 4 times during my time in highschool. My family had a hard time understanding it but they did their best to be supportive. I've grown a lot as a person (I'm 20 now) since then and I think my family believes I'm "cured" or better and I can't fall back into that place. I don't like talking to them when I'm struggling because I'm afraid they will want to admit me or think that I'm weak. However, I am struggling. I don't think about harming myself or anything like that but I just feel so alone and chained to my thoughts. No one around me can relate or begin to understand how I feel. I guess I'm just looking for some support while I try to figure out what my problem is now. I tend to desensitze my own feelings and brush them off like they'll just dissapear.

You need to learn to cope with your feelings not dismiss them. Did the therapists give you tips on how to cope? Can you talk to a therapist on the phone or online? Write in a journal then read what you wrote a week later.
And you will get support here.

One of the best forms of therapyis writing. Journal about how you feel...maybe also write about the kinds of things that may be triggering it and how best to handle it. The most important thing is to be as descriptive as you can about your feelings.

If you don't want anyone else to read a journal entry, just set it to private.

Hi Sadgirl. Sorry you are feeling so lonely. You are not weak. It took a lot of strength to reach out to folks on this support group and tell that you are struggling. I do understand. I feel so lonely and isolated right now I could just cry. And probably will. Thanks for speaking up. Helped me feel able to do the same. Hang in there.
