I feel so alone, sad and guilty

[GreenEgg]

Hi 

I feel like I let everyone down. I don’t know how I can deal with it because I logically know it can’t be true but I believe it. It’s so overwhelming and makes me feel so alone, like people just don’t see me and if they did they’d hate me. Sometimes I try to tell people and they don’t accept it but even that just makes me 

I feel drained and exhausted and anxious and sad. It’s overwhelming and makes me sick to my stomach. I haven’t eaten properly in days and I just don’t have energy to do anything I’m so tired every time I think things are changing and I’m getting better I just end up back here

Dearest GreenEgg,

I'm so sorry you feel so alone and sad but you have come to the right place to find others who have experienced what you are going through and are prepared to listen and support you.

Initially I suggest that you have a chat to one of the Beyond Blue counsellors.

I'm positive you haven't let anyone down and there's no need to feel guilty but your thoughts at the momrnt are telling you otherwise.

Please believe me when I say that you can overcome all these feelings. I found meditation and exercise worked for me but I'm sure the counsellor will be able to suggest some recovery methods that suit your individual personality.

Please stay in touch. We are here to listen and support you in your recovery.

Warmest regards
