Hi and best wishes to everyone..

Im starting to get very scared again and having panic like attacks.   I just feel so alone at times and this might sound strange but i feel like a kid who just wants to give his mum a hug.  But im 58 i lost my mum at 18 and Dad in 2000 and have  no real family support.   Im currently not working and dont feel i have the energy to start again.  I just do some volunteer work one day a week at a hospital.  Ive never really progressed in life i just seem to have filled in time .   I feel like i have had enough a times.     Best wishes  Brett

Hello Beaser,

 

Thanks for reaching out. Hope you are feeling better today.

 

If I may ask, do you have any support groups or a therapist who can guide you? Please don't feel lonely and alone. 

 

We are all here to listen and help if you need...

HI HL.

Thank you for checking in. 

I actually had my phycologist yesterday i have him when i can but its very hard to get in and my next appt is april at this stage  . I am on the cancellation list so ill maybe get to see him sooner. 

He told me i need try and keep busy which is easier said than done given my current situation.  

I am going to go and mow a friends lawn today and tommorow i have my volunteer role at the hospital so i have a bit planned.    

A friend touched base and asked me to drop in so i should do that sometime.

Thank you Happylife.   I hope your well and would be interested to hear how your going.

I’m 32 and have the same feelings mate I’m terrified of everyone while just walking down the street. Have myself feeling like I’m just going through the motions not energetic not sad just existing and staying out of the way. These tendencies are the exact opposite of who I was 5-7 years ago I've no idea if this helps but know your not alone in what you are feeling friend
