Hi everyone. I joined this site sometime ago now, but as I sat at the keyboard I found myself being unable to type anything. I know I am ready now and I need to. I feel like I am stuck in a world that no one understands and I feel so alone. Probably because the only person in my life is my daughter. I have no support networks or friends. I have realised I have shut myself away from the world because I find it easier that way. Though I am starting to feel like I have had enough and it is time to reach out to someone and just say please help me. I'm sorry I have to go as I can not control the tears that are starting. I will come back soon. thankyou to whoever reads my story.
Hi! I am glad you are here now! This is a great site for support, compassion, information and friendship. I have nothing more to say at the moment but I did want to say hello to you and send you some big
HUGGGGGGGGGGGS!

Hi Justme,
I'm happy to see your post. I totally understand how you're feeling. I have been having a really bad time with my depression and the only person I can talk to is my therapist. Unfortunately I only get to see him maybe very other week and wish it could be more often.
I saw you accepted my friend request and I sharing with you.
Gentle Hugs

Just me,
I really don't agree with your name, sorry. Nobody is JUST me. You are somebody special. I can understand how easy it is to isolate yourself with the pain and exhaustion. I'm really happy that you have taken a very hard step in reaching out.
How old is your daughter?
Hi,
First of all-- BIG (gentle) HUGS to you. Good for you for reaching out! It can be hard to do-- especially when we feel ultimately responsible for feeling very alone. It’s totally understandable to want to withdraw from a society that is ill-equipped to deal w/ individuals w/ chronic health issues. I found myself living pretty much as a recluse, and it took a dear friend saying to me, “You have so many gifts for the world. I feel guilty being the only one able to enjoy them.” I understood in that moment that I had cut myself off from the flow of life-- which is not only not conducive to healing, but really deprives the world of your presence. There is a great deal of love and support here. It is totally possible to get beyond the depths of pain, sadness, and despair. This is an excellent first step.
Hello,
You are very welcome here, and do not need to feel alone anymore. Thank-you for sharing your story, that is a massive step, and shows how strong you are. There will be many on here who recognise what you are going through, and lots of information and advice to help you. I also tend to shut myself away, even from friends and family sometimes, it is easier. You have your daughter and i am sure she will give you the strength to go on. Please see your doc also, maybe meds can be adjusted, both antidepressants and pain meds if necessary. Keep talking to us.
Take care, Anne
I am so sorry you feel alone and lonely…Gentle Hugs to you and yours, Welcome I very much hope you find what you Seek and Need here. In My Thoughts and Prayers.
