Is there something bothering you right now?

Yes, something is...I don't know if I can help anyone anymore. I can't post about me. Where is the purpose?

But I've been here so long. I feel lost and sad. I have nowhere to go.

Dear Rainyday,
I was extremely grateful for the feedback you provided me on what I posted at the psychotherapy forum yesterday. Many of us feel better when someone just "gives a hug" when we post things. You have provided so much feedback to so many people. Thank you for taking the time to do that. It has meant so much to me during the short time I have been coming to PsychCentral.

I feel lonely at the moment and find myself dwelling over someone who hurt me and feelings of disappointment, which makes me feel kind of low and worthless. I want to get stronger and feel worthy again, but I'm not feeling it right now.

Struggling with substances right now and getting off them. No more booze but the other stuff is killing me

You've been very helpful to many people, including me, and I am grateful.

I'm not clear on if you feel you are no longer helpful or if you feel it's too much for now?

I am not sure of how to interpret your post and don't want to put you on the spot by asking more questions today.

Suffice to say we all love you and you mean very much to this forum and we'd all miss you very much if you were to leave.

Please let us know more -- if you want to do so.
We are listening.

My wife has me by the xxxx I have to beg to see my kids every time. Never marry the Japanese culture is too different and too close to foreigners, kids might be mistreated because parent Is not Japanese which is one my conclusions of my failed marriage the culture is clam shut to foreigners again, yet there economy depends on us foreigners as we buy all products from them.

I am sorry about your marital discord.

I have lots of Japanese friends. I have lots of friends with Japanese-American families, as well, both in Japan and in the U.S. One of my best friends is in such a marriage and has children and all is well.

I find you comment about the Japanese people somewhat offensive.

You and your wife have your problems. I don't think its fair to project your personal marital problems onto the Japanese as a whole.

Thank you, WC. I am feeling better. I worry when people are feeling really bad. Sometimes I feel other people's pain...and I feel sad when they reach out but we can't do more than provide support. I guess I want everyone to feel good here. lol but I really do. At the same time, there is a limit to what we can do and it is painful when someone gets sick. I want to do more but we aren't IRL. Yet we understand each other more than most people in our individual lives.

All that said, I know I'm ultimately responsible for me, including my illness. I appreciate our group's support and camaraderie, it helps me take care of me.

See? That came out convoluted...

Thanks for your support.

I'm worried I'll never get well

I completely feel with you on this! Im 29 also & worried i'll never find happiness, find a nice guy to accept me & very worried about not having kids. I could steal my sisters boys but she would miss them too much & i'd have to give them back dammit!

I'm tired of family discord. I'm tired of the tantrums, the pettiness, the drinking, the concern over the will. Such an ongoing, overdone drama.
It's all so redundant and too much. When will it stop?

Oh, that sounds stressful ... I am here for you if you need a listening ear.

Well this was like my 16th time in the hospital (I'm only 26). Trying to stay out for good. Get left alone a lot and can never sleep. Which is never good. I'm just going to try and take it easy for a while see if that'll help. Keep going around in public talking crazy, too, so that's going to be stopping.

I'm feeling way off ... I thought I was feeling better. I keep thinking maybe it's overthinking, unrealistic expectations, the reality of human nature. Innate selfishness. Can I skip addressing treating my C-PTSD since all my abusers died except my ex-husband? Is this of high enough caliber to help more than harm. People leaving. Ghosting. Bowing out. I get you.

I have OCD maybe I'm just ruminating. Highly preferable to a mood episode. I just feel weird. I can't figure out how to diffuse this.

No need to comment. It's verbal garbage.

I think you have expressed yourself well and clearly.

When we are empathetic, we are open to feeling the pain of others for sure.
When we stop to help a stranger on the side of the road, we open ourselves up to his/her experience/crisis. This is magnified when we feel attachment to others in any community setting.

Sometimes our best offerings are not enough. We can sometimes then feel helpless and sometimes demoralized.

Illnesses/relapses are challenging, especially when we care and hope to see everyone doing well.

It's good news, a healthy quality, when we can feel the pain of our friends. Yet their pain may cause us some sense of suffering, esp if we resonate with any aspect of their crisis situation.

it's all a part of caring and having open hearts toward one another's challenges. The alternative is to shut down, which might be okay if needed for respite; yet, is not an overall healthy mode in which to live our lives.

I hope you feel better and figure everything out. I know I let a lot on you in PMs but I'm here for you too. You can always talk to me. ((Hugs))

Thank you xo

I'll figure it out or it may just expire lol...if I ignore things sometimes they just resolve on their own.

Or, the solution is that there isn't one. Quit looking. We don't need a goose chase.

I feel you. Neglect can be just as bad. Ain't no jobs in this town. Ain't no fish in that lake. When people say they love you but their actions don't show, that's one of the worst. Take some time to chill. You'll get through it.

Thanks. I have some good things. I am truly loved and it's mutual. Very authentic. It is a rare thing.

I will send fish and jobs.

It's bothering me that I can't get someone out of my stupid head. No matter how hard I try. I have NO contact with this person and I am very busy during the day. She treated me like crap but it doesn't matter that I know that she is bad for me, every morning when I wake up... there she is - in my mind. Every evening before I go to bed - again there she is.

My debit card got hacked Didn't lose any money, but it'll suck not having a card until the new one comes. Trying to remember what auto withdrawals are tied to my card.

I'm craving to get high,

It really bothers me that my psychiatrist responded with "the pills dont have calories" when I told her - not for the first time - that my excessive weight gain (from 48 to 63 kg in 4 months!) really drags me down and is a huge problem for me. Especially because before I started medication I would always weigh the same, irrespective of my eating and workout habits. And when I reached 55 kg (what I then called upper limit... haha) I did change a lot which was hard for me in the first place because I was so accustomed to be able to eat what I want, but the weight still just keeps coming.
