I am just feeling lonely, like I have nobody to talk to, I know I have you guys but I don't even know what I want to talk about. I emailed my T to let her know that I am struggling hopefully she will get back to me soon. Any support or words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. I have been isolating myself lately so I am sorry I haven't been around as much, does anybody know how to come out of isolation? The members here have always been so helpful for me and I don't want to lose that, please help.

gimmeice,
Isolation is such a mean feeling, isn't it? Jme, but I almost always find myself in the same place when I think I am just retreating for a short while. It's usually because I'm starting to feel overwhelmed/triggered and need to step back. Unfortunately, I can get stuck and find myself feeling lonely and lost. It's where I'm also at this minute... Lurking is ok, but I need to take those steps towards feeling I'm part of a group of human beings...here and irl. Perhaps your post is the first step in coming out of isolation? It an honest post and I admire you for having so much courage. I'll be following your thread in hopes of gleaning ways of coming out of my own isolation. Catherine

I'm not sure I have any words of wisdom for you except to bear in mind that the way you feel now is not and doesn't have to be a constant state of being. Sometimes just remembering that it's possible to feel something other than the melancholy the depression forces on me gives me enough strength to push myself to do the things I need to in order to feel better. I know right now you probably don't feel like it, but if you can do a self check-up on the basics -- are you eating properly, have you had enough sleep, enough sunlight, a little exercise (even just a walk around the block), maybe some self-indulgence like a bubble bath or a favourite dessert -- can go a long way in giving you enough strength to get yourself going again. The other thing that helps for me when I'm not sure why I'm feeling the way I am or what I want to say about it is to write things down. Sit down for five or ten minutes and write down anything and everything that comes to mind, from the fact you can hear the clock ticking in the hall to that you're feeling sleepy to that your back aches to what you might like for lunch, and eventually some of the feelings you thought you couldn't express might come out too. Try not to let your pen stop for a set amount of time and see what you come up with. Maybe you can take that to your T next time you're in and she can help you figure out what's going on with you right now? Hope this helps.

Thank you all for all your replies, I have been trying to treat myself today by going to the chiropractor and some other treats that I enjoy. I think that the best thing I can do is to keep posting the isolation is what is bothering me the most. So I will try to post more to see if it helps.

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