New to all of this- what am i doing?

[Bored_and_lonely]

Hey guys,

Not sure what to say here... in a bit of distress at the moment but im sure it'll pass. My diagnosis is... a cocktail, along with my medication. But overall right now i have no reason to get up in the morning (so I don't), I'm super lonely. .. yeah i guess that's it. Some people would say to me "find a reason to get up. Find a hobby blah blah" but i know, a lot of you would know, it's just not that easy.

I hope to connect with someone soon.

In good health x

Hey Bored and Lonely,

Sorry to hear that things are tough for you right now. However you have come to the right place for some company, great work on posting here!

There are a lot of people here who have been in your shoes including me. Just 6 months ago I struggled to get out of bed or if I did, I didn't go much further. In the end my GP and the right meds helped me past that hard bit.

Have you seen your GP lately?

If you feel like sharing a little more about your diagnosis it may help people with experience in those areas help a bit more. There's no pressure to do that though.

There's a group on here called BB Cafe which is a lighter part of the forum just to have a chat about anything. You can use the search function to find it and just post "hi" and you will be welcomed in no time. This may help with your loneliness in the short term. They are lovely people.

Kind thoughts,

Carol

hello, sometimes finding doing a hobby doesn't work, it never did for me, I had no interest to even try and think of what I was doing, why, because it was way too difficult, some people are able to do it and I congratulate them but to me it was out of the question.
In other words you can only do what you feel capable of doing and not by how hard you are pushed, that only makes you more depressed.
Are you just lonely or are you too depressed, sometimes they can be linked, other times they can't, and for you there's a big difference.
Hope to hear back from you. Geoff.
