Please, if anyone can help me, just even to let me know that someone is there and possibly cares.

I have been living in a new town for about 2 years now. I have no friends, or anyone that I socialize on a regular basis.

My husband has been treating me like I am no one to him. He is pissed honestly because I am sick alot. Seriously!

My mother and father abandoned me. I have no siblings. I feel lost. Worthless. What am I here for? The one person that is supposed to always be by my side has turned his back on me along with everyone else.

I am beyond depressed.
Can anyone help? Any advice? Just let me know someone is there. please

Welcome. You are not alone anymore, and won't be whenever you're here.

I'm so sorry that things seem so difficult and dark right now. I do hope that it doesn't stay that way.

Can you tell me if you've been in therapy or sought out a therapist...current or past? I really think you might benefit from having a therapist to walk through this difficulty with you, but also know we're always here.

I would suggest joining a church, a support group such as dbsalliance.org clikc on find support to find one near you, volunteering, something to get you involved, in your new, community...

Yes, I have in the past but quit going because of my busy schedule at the time. I do want to go back but wish there was help right now.

Hi mineemouse! You've come to a good place in your life: PC! Be sure to read and post in the Depression Forum where you'll find members who totally understand where you're at. TC

((((((mineemouse)))))) You are so not alone! I can totally relate. In the late '80's I married and moved to Hawaii. Heaven, right?? Wrong!! My husband had lived there for a year already and I was painfully painfully shy. He used to get upset at me because I hadn't made any friends. I didn't work, didn't have a car to go anywhere, it was the first time I had been away from home. I kept asking him, "honestly, what do you want me to do? Walk across the street, knock on a door and say, 'Hi, will you be my friend?'" For some people it's easy to do things like that--not me. It's frustrating when the we love doesn't respond how we would like or even in a 'normal' way. I totally agree with seeking someone to talk to; but like everyone else said, you always have us. Vent, cry, scream, rant, laugh, feel safe. You can do it all here.

Hi nicole
I'm sorry you're feeling alone and depressed.
I wonder if it might help you feel better to begin making plans to find another therapist there. Maybe look up the insurance information you need, or look in the phone book to find one nearby.

Do you have friends back home, where you moved from, that you might call and say hello to for a few minutes? I was feeling frantic yesterday when a friend called and it just changed my whole day, made me calmer. Maybe she needed me, and that's why she called. I don't know but I am sure glad she called just to say hi.

I hope you feel much better soon. Keep talking to us here too!

I'm sorry about the situation you're in right now. This is a good place to be. There are a lot of nice people here. I don't think I can add any suggestions that haven't already been mentioned - therapy, volunteering, etc.. Sometimes helping other people, getting your attention focused on something or someone else for a while, can help you get some relief from your problems, and also give you time to get some perspective on them and figure out what to do. Good luck.

I'm sorry you are feeling sad and alone. Please come and post here....it's a great, supportive community!

Being lonely & having the one who is supposed to love you & "be there" for you ignore you or worse is terrible. I've found some friends in a support group for people with depression/bipolar/anxiety issues. We often call each other now & meet for coffee & can call if we are feeling low. We understand each other when our spouses don't.

I also concur with the therapy suggestion. I'm finding indiv. therapy & group (DBT) really helpful. Plus we're here, dear. Keep coming back. Take care.--Suzy

Everyone, I would just like to say a huge thank you for taking time to let me know someone does care. Today I talked myself out of bed and am trying to focus on just making it through the day without breaking. Your thoughts have been extremely helpful to me, really. thanks again, nicole
