Lost hope and need a friend

[Music_Freak]

I'm a girl...Narelle, 36, from Adelaide, single, unemployed, cat mum...um, what else...I probably shouldn't reveal so much, but may as well be honest, right?

I have both anxiety and depression, and am a pessimist. I have lost all my "friends" because of this and feel worthless and like giving up. I have a GP and a psychologist, but I'm not even sure the therapy (I've been going for a few years now) is working for me.

I have two favourite bands (Sixx:A.M. and Halestorm. True Violet is another on the top of my list right now) and I write band fan fiction. In the past I have depended on these two things to help me through life, but now that they're not really working, I decided to try here.

I just hope to have people to talk to, and maybe make some friends.

Hi there dear Narelle

Is it raining in Adelaide today? I am just looking out the window here and the sun is shining at the moment.

What are you up to today? Probably a good day here to hang out washing and go for a walk or something. I noticed you posted in the "walking thread" the other day. Good on you for getting out there and walking, and even with Buddy. I am now convinced it helps us to feel better in many ways when we chose to walk or exercise.

Was it you that was doing the MYOB course?

Did it go OK at the GP, were they able to help you in any other way besides giving you a medical certificate? So getting the medical certificate does that mean you are not required to go to that bowling green work then?

I can relate to the "feeling like a failure" thing Narelle. So you are not alone with that feeling. I am unable to give you any advice on how not to feel like that, because I haven't worked it out myself as yet. But least you now know you are not the only one hey!

Here is another hug for you (( Narelle))

It's about to start pouring by the looks, very soon. I could have got Buddy to the vet and home by now...damn it...I bet Wednesday is just horrible now 😞

Yes, the certificate means I don't have to do the bowling green work, I'm hoping to get an admin place when I return to it, but I wonder if I'll be able to do that (I hate my brain!!)

I am doing the MYOB course, in an attempt to get work etc. I'm going to try and do some today, since I've just started the last section and am due to finish in early October.

It does help massively to know that I'm not alone, because that's all I feel right now.

Hi dear Narelle

How are you feeling today? Good on you for continuing with the MYOB course. That is like an accounting type programme isn't it? Hope you were able to take Buddy out for a walk today. Have you got a big backyard then?

I am glad you are feeling helped.

Hugs and bye now

Hi Shell, it is accounting software, not the most exciting of things 🙂

Buddy did go out a few times, when the sun came out it was quite nice

Hey Narelle. Haven't seen you post in quite a while. Hope all is Ok. How are you getting on hun? How's Buddy? Emmy xx

Hey Emmy, I think Narelle has been using her newer thread "I'm just worthless" lately, rather than this one. You will find her there.

Ok I'll try and find it. Xx

Emmy, you'll find it under the Depression header. (-:
