Hey, I just wanted to share. I feel like I don't have anyone to talk to.
I finally told my therapist about something that happened to me a really long time ago, when I was a kid. It took a lot of courage. I feel really proud, but, also, it doesn't really matter anyway. I feel really lost and alone and I don't really know what the point of living is. I haven't wanted to be alive for a long time. Now I'm just stuck here, still, and I feel like I can't live the life I want. Also, I feel whiny for talking about it. I judge myself really harshly for anything-- for having feelings, for feeling down, for any mistakes I make. I guess, I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas? How do I start enjoying my life again? Or will I ever? |

I'm sorry you are struggling to find hope.
Is your therapist supportive? |

I have ideas that you can find in the depression success stories section. Telling your therapist sounds like progress to me. Depending on what it was, you might be interested in the book "The Body Keeps The Score".  - vital

Hello lonely, you always have us here to talk to on PC. In my books I would say you are an outstanding individual with immense courage to have told your therapist what happened. You blame yourself for what happened when you were a small child and it has carried on blaming yourself. You did nothing wrong. The biggest step in your life you do not realise, you took at your therapists , but you brush it off. You say you are proud about that but then you say that I doesn't matter. Of course it does. You should be very proud of yourself. You will start to enjoy life again, this person has taken up most of your life, with you being guilty but now you can break through this vicious cycle and learn to live again. I applaud you. Keep going to your therapist, it will get easier.. Best wishes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Disclosing to your Therapist was a huge step - and a smart one too. Have no regrets.
I feel alone too. The only people outside of my psychiatric support services are my support group associates - and most aren't the type of people I particularly wish to be friends with. I have an adult son I see once a month and a dad who does his best to support me. BUT NO FRIENDS. I know how hard it is. Ocassionally some event will pop up during my depression to briefly give my joy but for the most time I'm in the blues. I get a great deal of comfort on this site. I try however to stay away from social media. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
