Feeling So Alone

Gnair3 — Sat, 06 Feb 2016 11:56:39 GMT

I don't usually do anything like this... but I can't stand it any more. I'm so lonely its driving me insane. I cant even sleep at night and I feel so lonely even when I'm around other people. I feel so cut off from others and have no real healthy relationships in my life. At school im the class clown that everyone laugh at because I do stupid stuff all the time. But I do it because when people laugh sometimes is easy to forget that they're laughing at e and not with me. For a while it even abated my loneliness but now its still come back. I have a group f friends at school who tolerate me but even when I'm around them i feel so disconnected from everyone and everything. I always feel so incompetent, slow, clumsy and I hate how I look. Inside and out...The loneliness is becoming unbearable and i feel like my head is being ripped apart. I cant stand it any more and I guess this thread is my way to vent.....

Welcome to the Beyond Blue forums Gnair3, I am so glad you felt safe to 'vent' here, you can talk here any time. Perhaps it is time to get some professional advice on this do you think? It's possible that there is something behind your feelings of loneliness and disconnection and I bet with professional support and advice you can work on this and come to feel much happier.

So...have you talked to your parents about this? Could you ring the Beyond Blue phone service or talk to your school counsellor? It's a good time to move on this, you can make a fresh plan that brings you to calmness and happiness. Try and stay focused on the positive things in your life, cut your self some slack for a while and practice letting the negative thoughts float away and replace them with positive ones. Think about the things you love to do, the things you are passionate about. Might also be a good time to check your diet is healthy and make sure you are doing enough exercise. Hang in there mate, I know you can make this better, stay in touch.
