NOT A GOOD DAY


21 years ago 0 26 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Anne-Marie. I live about 2 miles from town. Yesterday I asked my nephew if I could ride his bike to town, and he said no. I do go outside and walk around,but I start getting anxious. Last night it was so bad up in here. Its almost like my sister wants me to do something, I tried making a conversation but it did no good. Im still crying and today Im shaking real bad. My head is hurting,and my vision is blurred. I really dont have anywhere to turn. I hate the way I feel,and Im so confused on what to do. Its a sad thing when someone has noone. Thank You for being here.

Hi, Angel. Sorry to read that you're in a bad way. Now you may not be able to drive anywhere, but are you going outdoors or taking walks to get out of that environment if everyone is in a bad mood? What are you doing to help yourself? Sometimes we are tbe ones who need to take those hard first steps. Fight this depression with all that you have. Rebel against it. It's too easy to dwell on the negative and then spiral downwards. C'mon Angel. Can you get to a store and perhaps buy yourself a puzzle book or something? Is there a local library? Did you find out what groups are in your town?

Today is not any better than when I wrote the first. It really is getting worse and I cant take much more. Noone around here talks to each other unless it is to yell and scream. And I have TRIED to tell everyone that this is no way to live. Everyone in this house is depressed. and so its making my depression worse. There more so unhappy than other. My sister says "thats just the way it is around here". I couldnt get to a group if I wanted to....theres no way to get there. They wont let me use there cars, and that jerk of a husband wont give me mine back. I feel so lost. I have been betrayed by so many....not only by my husband but by those I thought were my friends. For the past 3 days all I can do is cry. I can look outside and I cry. I cant stop crying. I know everyone says its going to get better, but I dont see it. For awhile there I thought it was going to be ok, but Im right back where I started....only worse. I was angry about everyone and everything, but now Im afraid. I never imagined my life turning out like this. I have 2 more weeks to go before I can talk to a Dr. and Im not sure my mind can go on untill then. The only support I have had through all this, has been this site....and I want to "thank" all of you. :( :confuse:

I am also new to my town, and I know what a struggle it is to meet new people and to become a part of the community. I agree with Anne-Marie that finding a group to get involved in is a great way to start. Best of luck. Mike

Ask yourself if your sister was angry or just plain sleepy. (Some of us as kind of dopey come Monday morning.) As for being lonely, see what you wrote above. You are accepting victim thinking again, Angel. No one is dictating that you must be lonely, but you're buying into that scenario, see? It's negative self-talk and self-defeating. No matter how small the town you are in, do take some action. I just moved to a small town too, where I know no one, yet, but I know I will. As I was leaving my other home for this one, a woman came over to give me a little souvenir key chain. I never knew her full name, but we used to meet outdoors when walking the dogs and occasionally stop to chat. She said she had come to enjoy our encounters. Perhaps you can meet someone that way. You just never know. Perhaps you can call the town hall too, and see what groups exist there. (They usually have a list) Maybe you could join one of them? There are service clubs like the Lions and Kiwanis, etc. You can meet people through volunteer work at some of them and maybe make a friend or two. To get out of this slump, Angel, you have to be ready to slowly take back control of your life. It won't happen overnight, but it can happen one step at a time. Do give yourself permission to win over this. You can get through this. We do care what happens to you.

Today is not a good day. I woke up feeling all numb. My sister left for work and wouldnt even speak. Its like that alot around here {pins and needles}. My head hurts, I feel sick to my stomach, and I feel like crying. I cant even make myself fix my hair. I feel so bad to have been doing fairly good yesterday. I have only 1 friend and thats the Dalmation dog sitting here by me. Its almost like she knows how I feel. I heard the song "I HOPE YOU DANCE" earlier, and it made me wanna cry. I feel so lonely, and lonely I will always be. :(
