I met with my psychiatrist last week, so contacting him wouldn't really do anything. All I feel like right now is crying. I'm sad and lonely, and I don't know what else I can try to help bolster my mood.

So I'm reaching out here. I'd be glad to have any suggestions, or just general support from the forum. It feels like I'm all alone. I'm not, but that's how it feels. Thanks for listening.


I do get what your saying.

I have no real magical words.

One thing I did start doing a few years ago as my T offered a great idea.

Make a jar of positive affirmations, when your down pull one out , it's not a cure but it has helped me a lot.

How to write good stuff when your feeling shyt ???Google for a list ( thank god for the internet) just write them down don't pay much attention to the words , fling them in a jar and pull one out randomly, I used folded over post it notes of a few colors.

Worth a shot.

Meanwhile distract your self as much as possible.
