I'm so sad I'm crying. It's time for me to go to bed. That's the only way I feel better.

I'm so sorry, @Jennifer 1967. I'm going to be visualizing you feeling better & better & feeling much better by tomorrow. Please hang in there, dear Jennifer.

I'm not as depressed. I'm getting used to not vaping. It's been just over 2 days. I have more time on my hands and I'm finally starting to do more. I'm trying to stay busy.

Hi, @shortbread! Thank you so much for joining us! And welcome to our forums here at MSF! There is a lot of great stuff here; I'm still discovering things I never knew about. It's so big! I hope you explore a lot & find what you like & need. We have games, social groups, chat rooms, etc. Good luck with everything!

Thank you so much Breaking Dawn.

Something that makes me feel like a misfit is how difficult I find groups. Group activities, meetups or support groups - this is how I meet people, make friends, but I just find groups overwhelming, to overstimulating too many conversations going on at once. But how else do I make friends and end the isolation that makes my depression worse? I have met lovely people through groups, but I can't do the maintenance. I just want to stay home and have one person to watch tv with, or low key activities like a nature walk but with one person only. I find even two people at a time too much.

Before covid I tried a few groups, but it's just too much. I want friends again, but I just don't have the energy or good mental health to do what it takes to get out there and meet people. I did once, but no anymore - I think I've become even more introverted as I've gotten older.

This forum is kinda nice really, because I can just talk to one person at a time via posts and I can log out when it gets too much and no one is offended.

Thank you, @shortbread, for your explanation. I also feel uncomfortable around people. The social groups here are like our forums, leaving messages & answering other peoples ideas. Each group is about something the members have in common. One of my groups is called Social Anxiety. You can select as many groups as you want, & just read or type comments, & post pictures. I relate to everything you said. I'm a loner & an introvert in the outside world. One of the things I love about this place is that I feel safe here. I'm so glad you joined our vent room!

Breaking Dawn. Thanks so much for your reply, you make me feel less alone.

I guess there are many people out there like us, but we don't meet one another. It make me feel defective, but I don't see you that way. You come across as a warm and caring and interesting person

I will take a look at the social groups that you mentioned.

I got so excited having people to talk to/post to yesterday, and I worried I had posted too much for a new person. I felt a bit self conscious, but then I remembered everyone here has their problems and it a bit weird like me. But last night i did feel a bit embarrassed and thought about deleting my account and crawling under a rock, but your post was very encouraging, Breaking Dawn, so thank you

Yesterday was a much better day for me throughout most of it. Although I didn't accomplish my goals for the day. I hope I don't let myself down again today. Part of it is feeling too tired from lack of sleep. I hope you all have a good weekend.

Very depressed with very low energy and motivation. I feel I can't cope any more. I sometimes wish I were dead but then my poor helpless animals will become homeless and suffer and die. I gotta drag on for them. I feel like a castaway, as if i have been thrown away like trash. God please do something good for me soon, PLEASE.

Mimi, I hope something good happens for you soon too.

I can't escape from it all either because I know my cat would suffer.

I'd love to hear about the animals you care for if you feel like sharing

Yesterday morning I had to take my vet to an appointment - just a check up so they can continue prescribing her medication. It was a new vet at a new clinic, everyone was so nice and things went as well as they could.

The air quality was much improved, so I thought, right I'm going to get all sorts of cleaning done today, but after a couple of hours of housework I just crashed from exhaustion. I lost a few hours sleep the night before worrying about my cat and the appointment and I think the stress and lack of sleep was just too much.

It I was just an appointment, (that went very well) but something which is a small thing for others, is a huge thing for me. It really took it out of me, and I had to lay down in the middle of the day, and again after supper just so a could get the essential things done. I did sleep well though last night (thank goodness for medication) so there's that.

Hoping I'll get more accomplished today.

Thank you.
I would like to talk to you about my animals, all cats, but atm Im having difficulty putting down my thoughts into words.
It's that a female stray cat whom I feed came to me when she was in labor and I let her have her litter in my room. I adopted the kittens. Another stray cat brought along a kitten when she came for food and the kitten stayed back with me. Now I have 6 cats incl kittens who stay in the house and 3 stray cats who come for food and then go away.
I have some pictures of them in my album. I will give you the links in a while.
If you believe in God, please pray for me ... I feel so very sad all the time and find it hard to go on any more.

Mimi So lovely that stray cat knew you were a safe person - and that your home was a safe place to have her kittens. I means so much when they choose us I believe.

I looked at the photos through your page - such pretty cats!

I'm not sure what I believe and what I don't to be honest, but I will pray for you, and I'm sure your God will hear. I hope that you find even a little window, a little break in the sadness

I'm not doing very well tonight. I wanted to be up for a while and play games. But I'm too depressed. So I think I will try to go back to sleep.

My sister is allowing her best friend to bully me and it making me feel really depressed because my sister takes her friend place. I tried talking to her about how her friend went s treating me but she claims she never heard her friend say rude comments even though her friend is saying things in front of her.
