When I feel left out by the ones I love....family and what-not, I try to find someone else to talk to like on here. I have found some other people that help me feel not so alone.

We can't pick our relatives but we do pick our friends.

Wishing you a better day

Welcome to PC ((insomniacfili)). I'm sorry you're feeling unloved. I hope it's not true and thinking they might just be uncomfortable or scared of the mental illness. Sometimes people don't know the right way to respond so they retreat in silence. Maybe you can educate them and let them know you don't necessarily need a solution but just a kind ear and a hug. We'll be happy to listen and support.

welcome insomniacfili . I know the feeling of people just turning their back. it happened to me years ago that my family did that. I think they just were not strong enough to stand by me when times were hard with depression. but they came back into my life. It wasnt that they did not love me. It was that they were not very strong. They did not have their own inner resources.

I had to find a therapist. I hope that you are able to do that. Please use this community as a place to be heard, to find comfort and support. You will find lots of people here who care lots. Are you in therapy? And are you on medication for the depression? Safe hugs for you ((((( insomniacfili))))))

Hello and welcome to PC. I think you'll find a bunch of nice folks here that'll make you feel cared for. Mental illness is hard to deal with for our friends and family when they have so much already going on their lives. I hope your family really does love you and it's just that they dont have the inner resources (like other posters have said) to deal with how you feel right now.

If you ever feel alone, please know you are more than welcome to post on PC.

Its not that they may not love you thats the depression speaking. Sometimes they just dont know what to do to help. I know my sons love me and I have a friend that ask me all the time what can he do to help me. But the fact is in most cases although you may be lucky enough to have people around you that want to help they cant take away the way we feel and then some of them start to avoid you as they feel useless.

I am sorry you are feeling alone & unloved. Depression has a way of distorting the way we who suffer from it view the world, so maybe the people around you do love you but your depression is making it hard for you to see that?

I hope you can find someone you can talk to who can help you face-to-face. In the meantime, we are here for you.

Kim

Sorry you feel unloved and hoping you feel better soon. Its hard being depressed and then feeling like no one is supporting you. I agree with everyone that says people are probably feeling unsure of what to do or say to help you and so they just stay away. I'm going through the same thing and I feel so lonely. That is why I come here and post because I know people are more understanding because they are going through similar circumstances. Hang in there and keep posting here. Hugs to you! Anjelmarie
