Feeling sad

[Universling]

Woke up feeling sad. Last night wrote about my whole life but didn't post it and the reality of my life has just left me broken and sad. I never cry, but this morning crying and just so sad. Being stuck in a town I don't even like but had to move here for housing affordability was trying to get out of here but then the pandemic happened and now I'm stuck here longer. I have no friends here, I have nothing here. Where I'm going has everything I need to fulfil me but thanks to this pandemic even if I was there I wouldn't be able to do anything. So stuck in here all alone. Broken and sad.

Hi Universling,

I had a period here I lived in the country and everyone played sport and went to church but me. I felt so lonely. A friend of mine is stuck in Berri with a similar problem - although Buddhist, he goes to a Christian church just for the company.

And yes the pandemic is making things worse for everyone. Even those with a continuing job are scared they'll catch it. I'm caught too.

Can you talk to your gp? Visit the Coronavirus Mental Wellbeing Support Service? I'm glad you reached out. Let me know how it goes.
