Feeling lonely

Unless they are going through it they will not understand it. We are all entitled to our feelings. Surround yourself with people who can support you. Sending positive thoughts.

Thank you. This post said a mouthful. I get the same thing. What bothers me (maybe I am not understanding) but I am told that everything is my fault. I have been working my tail of for 29 months and if something or someone hurts me itā€™s my fault. Itā€™s my fault I havenā€™t seen my daughter in almost 4 months, itā€™s my fault that I wasnā€™t acknowledged for my birthday or Valentineā€™s Day. Itā€™s my fault. I am so so so lonely itā€™s crazy. Itā€™s great going to meetings but never going to meet these people. Please I wish someone could explain why everything is our fault. Maybe this is crazy post. Just emotional every every day.

Please get yourself to a meeting, either virtual or physical. There you will find many others with whom you can identify and those who will identify with you.

I have gone thru the same thing! My parents always told my Im so dramatic and that I cry wayyy to much!! Finally at 20 years old I went to a psychiatrist and turns out I have major depressive disorder :roll_eyes::roll_eyes: so yep NOT dramatic!! I literally told my parents countless times Im suicidal and my momā€™s response would be go exercise, ofc your sad cos all you do is sleep. Like my brain wonā€™t give me the motivation to do anything mother !! Your not alone- Dm me for anything !! You got a sober friend in me (ļ¼¾Ļ‰ļ¼¾)äŗŗ(ļ¼¾Ļ‰ļ¼¾)

Your feelings are valid. Your thoughts are valid. Your free to express yourself how ever you want. Keep your distance from those judgmental people calling you ā€œdramaticā€. Do you girl ! One day at a time :white_heart:

I get that you feel alone. Yet you are never really alone. Itā€™s fine to not be your best at communicating, dram or no drama, when you are kinda new at allowing yourself to have feelings again. I struggle with this too as part of my Alcholic thinking and ADHD. You are good enough. Try that on and since youā€™re honest about the right people will get it and those that donā€™t or wonā€™t werenā€™t meant to anyway. You donā€™t have to chase them to impress them. Because it probably never will anyway. Everyone has more issues than we see.

You are NOT alone! We all have the same story. Have you tried AA? I swear I hear my stories in every share and every reading. I use to think no one would understand my struggles. But thatā€™s not true. There is a whole community out there that knows your struggles and truly loves you for them :heart:
