I know what I feel but struggle to find the words.
I've had clinical depression for 10yrs. Numerous suicide attempts and hospitalisations.
I think about suicide every single day. Can't remember a day where I haven't. Everyday I wish I was dead and to miraculously not wake up. My family are toxic, I've never had a loving relationship, never felt mutually cared for or loved, never been proposed to, never married, never had kids. As a woman i feel embarrassed and ashamed of this. Feel ostracized because of this and so struggle to have things in common to form strong female friendship. My only support network is my psychologist but after5yrs of therapy I'm done talking. Done sounding like a broken record.
Yes, I know I dwell on what I don't have but this has not always been the case. I triedd and tried and tried. I'm sick of hesrinf my own thoughts 24/7 year after year. I've had enough. No one really knows what it's like to live totally alone year after year. I can't help but dwell on this. It's not natural to not have been loved, it's not what being human is about, I'm not human. I'm a nobody.

Good evening Lee 🔔🎶🔔 Lee
So at last the weekend is upon us again. I'd reckon you'd be feeling pretty exhausted after the move last weekend and continuing to work this week. Pretty sure you'll be tempted to get stuck into unpacking and settling in over the coming weekend. But perhaps it may be better to spend the weekend doing some self care instead? Take a well earned break for a change. I dont know ... you have at least one friend I recall you go on outings with sometimes. Would it be an option to get out and do something relaxing (a nice dinner out, visit a coffee shop, a beach walk, visit an art gallery, go out to see a movie or the theatre) or something exciting (white water rafting, hot air ballooning, jet skiing, kayaking, visit a theme park)? Or anything else that takes your fancy. I guess I'd like to know you were doing some self pampering or something thrilling that you'd enjoy.
Ha ha, yes I knew what you meant about the real world and offline friends etc. Yes, wouldnt it be nice? Oh well.
I hope your psych visit went well today (I think) and that you were able to talk about how you've been feeling lately. Even better that they were able to provide you with some coping tools which you werent already aware of. Have you heard any more about that trial you were involved in a couple of months ago? You were hoping to start back onto it early next year I think. Which isnt really that far away ... but no doubt seems it for you right now.
I hope you and Iszy have a restful and recouperative weekend. Hope to hear from you soon. Always here for you.
Amanda 🤗💜😺🐶💕

Amanda, Grandy and Tess,
So much stuff is going on in my head...
Leading up to the move it gradually dawned on me I was doing it all again on my own, again and still. I'm such a failure and loser. The move went well no problems at all. It's a beautiful townhouse in a beautiful location. I feel I don't deserve all this. I feel guilty. I am grateful but sooo undeserving. The S/T's are a constant chant in my head. I hate living hate who I am. So so empty. I want to cry so badly but I can't. I'm not sleeping I have no appetite. Amanda lovely I did see my psychologist yesterday. It went ok. For some reason I was able to tell her some stuff that was going on but not all. Don't know why. I'm to do a thought journal and a gratitude diary. Hate the thought of the gratitude diary. I feel embarrassed ashamed of me. I feel sorry for people who have to even look at me. I'm so pathetically feeling sorry for myself right now.......
Thank you so much for your beautiful posts ❤.....I'm so so sorry for not replying personally. Please take good care of yourselves beautiful ladies ❤

I so agree,
this is not like real life and at times I think that it is a really odd way to interact, never seeing, never hearing etc. and you don’t get to know the whole person, just the mental health and related issues. Sometimes I wonder if reading posts that are about such personal stories of depression etc is not so good for me?

Dear lee,
at least you like the townhouse and where it is. I moved here four months ago and hate it. Ah well. You areNOT a failure and a loser, you have achieved this move it is supposed to be one of the most stressful things in life. And you did it in your own, I had my son to help me and I didn’t do it well. You work and support yourself. You care for your cat you are seeking out help. That is a lot.
I know what you mean about the ST being like a chant. I am like that too. It is worst when I wake dissipates a bit over the day but come back if the smallest thing goes wrong. I used to be able to cope with anything.
Sometimes it is best not to tell everything to a psych, at least not until you are ready. We all need some privacy and to protect part of ourselves.
I also hold back at times as I don’t want some over reaction.
I would like to be able to have a coffee with you, so I shall go and make us both one and think of you. Try to care for yourself this weekend.
how do you like your coffee, or would you prefer tea?

Hello dear Tess,
Thank you for your post. I would very much like to have a coffee with you too. Strong with milk for me.
What I was trying to say is I truly wish people offline were as caring as the people here, online.
I'm sorry to hear you don't like where you live Tess and you also have s/t's. It's debilitating isn't it.
You take good care too Tess.
