I am reaching out and NO ONE is helping

[Lauz22]

Hi all,

I am really suffering with my mental health and NO ONE is wanting to help me.

I have messaged my friends who have simply ignored me, I can't talk to my parents and even my psychologist won't reply to my messages when I try to arrange an appointment.
I have also reached out to Blue Knot - a trauma support organisation and they haven't replied to my emails either.

Everyone in my life has either hurt me, traumatised me or left me. I am at breaking point and keep questioning my existence... why am I here if no one cares?

Hey there Lauz22, welcome.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this way. They're obviously not friends if they're avoiding/ignoring you, and that's them being horrible people, not you, please know this. You're loved and cared for and you have a purpose, even if you're not sure what that is yet. As Sophie said, we're here for you and you're not alone. We care.

Blue Knot, do they have a webchat option or over the phone if you feel comfortable? Otherwise perhaps Lifeline, they've been pretty good when I've spoken to them on the webchat. That's just a suggestion, no pressure to do so. Or you could try the BB Support Service if you wish like Sophie mentioned also. Once again these are just friendly supportive suggestions, no one's forcing you to contact them.

I hope you're safe, we're here to listen and support you. Your existence is a blessing and I don't even know you but I can say that truthfully. I'm really sorry you're struggling, I wish I could do more. But good on you for reaching out.

The Psychologist sounds odd for not replying to you, even if they're busy they should get back to you. Do you have another Psychologist or maybe a GP?

Sorry darling that your struggling I would so like to see you recover from this tail spin. You ever heard that Adele song ' When the wind is blowing in your face, and the whole world is on your case, I could hold you for a warm embrace, to make you feel my love.' Sometime music and emotional songs and singing help, worth a try cause it cant hurt!

Thank you for reaching out mb,

It's hard to not take it personal.
I was dealing with a divorce last year, it was the worst thing I went through and thought I wouldn't make it through. I spoke to friends, some were great and some seem to just be sick of hearing it and have ignored me.

I try so hard to be a good person.
I am a good friend and always ask how they are and to see them.
I did everything possible to be the best wife.
I work hard to be a great employee.
Yet it all falls apart.

I get walked all over by everyone because I people please.

I am so tired of being let down by others. I am sick of giving and never receiving.

I just want to give up.

Hi Lauz22, you're welcome.

You are a good person, and I know it's hard not to take it personally, trust me. Yes you are a good friend, I'm sure you're a great wife and employee. I'm sorry this is happening to you.

Hi Lauz22,

It's great to hear from you again. Great too that you have found support in some of your friends. However, it sounds like things are still really difficult. It's so tough to feel liike you're not getting back what you put into your close relationships. And it's really understandable that you're feeling exhausted by this. We're concerned that you have mentioned giving up and have contacted you privately to check in and offer some further support.

Let us know how you're going
