Feel so lonely
« on: May 23, 2012, 10:12:24 PM »
Hello everyone.
over the last few days ive been feeling very low, just as if I can feel depression just slowly floodimg back into my life. Ive been fine for weeks, months-ive been on fluoxetine for over a year now, amd am receivimg therapy from a great therapist. But just the last few days,.ive felt like making myself sick and cutting myself. I have not cut myself since last july and swore on my mums life that I wouldnt do it again.
fifteen minutes ago, I tried to make myself sick but failed. Ive got a knife beside me on the table but keep thinking about my mum if I did cut myself. My housemates are dowmstairs,drinking and generally having a good laugh. They didnt notice I hadnt said a word for half an hour, and I just feel very alone.
i just want someone to listen but I dont want to call my family and cause an uproar. Unfortunately I dont see my therapist until monday so I cant sort things out that way.
i just want to be happy and fine and am sick of getting these relapses because im meant to be getting better and eventualy want to come off my tablets but how can I if I keep getting like this? Im not sure what im asking for, just need to vent to people that can understand. Thank you for anything you have to say or advice. Sorry this is a long post.

Em, I'm so sorry to hear you're having such a hard time. I can identify with the sense of loneliness you describe, as I'm sure many others on here can too. Sometimes you just want to shake people and say 'don't you understand what this feels like? Don't you care?'

Anyway, having read your post, am thinking of you and hoping you can start to feel better.

Vent away Em, we can listen and we understand. It's awful being around people that are all happy when you feel so low. Thinking of you &*(

Sorry you have been feeling so bad Em :( xx

I can relate to how you feel, I can be ok mentally for a while and then I will start to feel really low again. I find its triggered by my physical symptoms getting worse but there are lots of reasons why a low period can start. Sometime I just feel like I want to cut myself too, I tried once but I didn't do a very good job and it was all a bit traumatic :(

Have you ever considered keep a diary to try and find out if anything in particular triggers your low mood? Hope you feel better soon xxx

I had housemates that didnt have a clue how i felt. I couldnt understand how they could be so happy. I feel ur pain, its extra lonely when u live with people who dont 'get it'. Stay strong, ur not alone, we are all here xxxx
