I haven't been on the forum for a week, my depression hit a low and I felt so lonely over the Christmas period.
My sister decided to send me nasty texts and a letter. I don't speak to any of my family due to the physical and emotional abuse I suffered and still suffer today. I don't have any friends, they got fed up with my mental health issues.
Even though I've done nothing but sleep the past 8 days, I feel so drained and tired.

I don't have anything to do with my family either. I stay totally away from them. I don't bother much with people. they cause too much stress. I live in my own little world. I hope you get to feelin better.

Very much the same thing for me. It would be so nice to have a family, but it seems like the more we have contact with each other, the worse it gets. It's too bad. Family can be so precious if everyone could get along. But there are so many that are not that fortunate.

I've been told that family is very important and that you must be with them. It seems like within my family (if we all get together), it can be much worse than being at a job in a corporate, back-stabbing setting.

I live in my own world too and whenever I feel threatened, I seem to get further into this protective bubble.

Whenever we've got together in the past, it's always turned nasty and there's been moments where I've feared for my life. I can't allow that to happen again, I feel I'm going to be looking over my shoulder forever.

When i am very low it is difficult for me to deal with people particularly my family.

In light of that, I strongly support this:

I'm not close with my family. I don't have close friends. It does get very lonely.

Hey guys thanks for your posts, it'd good to be able to talk about it.
Hope 2015 is a better year!

I was the same over Christmas. All I wanted to do was sleep and keep away from my family. I have very few friends, and they give me that same crap even though they know about my problems. It's really frustrating, but at least we're not alone with that feeling.
