Zero support

I feel so alone and even lonelier now. Close friendship changed for the worse after I admitted myself to psychiatric hospital. And my only other close friend, my ex, just told me "You must realize over half of your life is over." and "It's become a daily thing with you. I don't remember the last time I saw you happy." , this after I told him I felt much despair and even more sui on the stupid Lexapro I was prescribed. Not sure how I feel about my therapist right now. I don't feel like she is helping me much anymore. Probably I can't really be helped. She claims that she has been using both CBT and DBT but I have not seen concrete results. Despair.... All I really want out of life is someone to cuddle with. Even if it's on concrete floor. Is that so much to ask for?

Hey, please don't give up hope. I would say find another therapist, someone who is credible and knows what there doing. Do research on your therapist before you pick them also those people arnt real friends they left when things were getting hard that says something about there character. Screw them, if you want to talk private message, ill listen and won't judge. It's okay to not be okay. Let the sadness or whatever it is sink in take all the time you need and when your ready, and you'll know it, gradually change things up, sometimes we get so used to feeling a certain way that we may not even realize we're stopping our selves from being happy. So do anything that lift your spirts or give you that rush of energy you need. Try different approaches to your situation try eating right or exceeding or trying something new or relaxing, maybe yoga. You gotta want it, and it's going to be hard but you can do it! Take baby steps and if you fall back down try again! Good luck! Also try making new friends, and pray (if you believe in God) God bless! And don't forget you can PM me if you'd like!

I don't think you are asking for a lot. I'm sorry you don't have people that care in your life. It makes a lot of difference to have someone to talk to. I'm here if you want someone to talk to. I can't really sit on a couch and cuddle with you, but I can be a friend who understands the pain of depression. Try to hang in there the best you can. I know on some days even doing that is an accomplishment.

I'd cuddle with you

no, there is nothing wrong with wanting someone to cuddle with. depression can be a horrible thing to deal with, but don't give up hope. I was depressed and suicidal most of my life. very deep dark hole. then I found the right antidepressant and my entire life changed. that and therapy for a year and a half and I haven't been depressed since. what a difference it has made in my life. so don't give up before the miracle happens because it can and it will. just keep trying until you find the right one.

I am lonely as well and have zero support. Most of my limited family acts as if I am some criminally insane person (and so what if I was), but I am not...I do not even kill insects. My own mother stated "I hate you", while in a calm, not fighting, verbal exchange...I am an only child!

You can always PM me!

I'd cuddle with you! If you need to talk you can always PM me!

I am also the criminally insane in my family. My mother never said I hate you, but my sister and brother have made it very very clear that I am not loved by them. I've been diagnosed so many things in the past, and now the most recent is schizoaffective. This one finally agrees to my symptoms. I don't kill either. But I didn't have any supports. NONE. ZERO. ZILCH. Until I moved to Erie, PA and moved into the Fairweather Lodge program. I now have a great support network. A great support network of professionals as well as peers that share various mental health issues. I know what it's like. You can always PM me if you want to talk. I'm on PC 24/7 via my computer or my Android via Tapatalk 2.

I can relate to what you are going through and it really hurts. One thing that helped me was I found a local support group for bipolar disorder - and started going to weekly meetings. I've made a few friends from the group, too, and we get together sometimes at a coffeeshop, etc.
