Just having too much going on in my life and feeling overwhelmed.

I feel like the male character in the Kid Rock song, "Picture." I have no one in my life that I can care for and have care about me. I mean, my family and friends, they're great, really, but I can't connect in any deep way with other people.

Sad and lonely.

:( It will come in time. :(
 
sorry scot,

i feel this way sometimes, and i'm surrounded by friends and family. i'm even married, and still catch myself feeling totally alone sometimes. those times are fading, but they still hit me. keep on plugging away. as they say, this too shall pass.
 
Scot,

Like Jeff, I feel very alone at times even with a spouse and family. Outside them I don't have any strong friendships with local people. Even the other survivors I've met live pretty far from where I live and work.

Sometimes I think it's a good thing that I'm not too close to many people yet. I still have so much to learn about myself, and I do learn in a safe way through my interactions with my family and with other survivors.

Thanks,

Joe
 
Scot,

Sorry to hear you are feeling so blue :( .

I feel the same way. Six billion people in the world and there might as well be none.

But one of the books I am reading tells me that it's normal to feel isolated as a result of SA. But that with work, it can be overcome.

Contact me if you need anything.

Peace,

Marc
 
Thanks, everyone.

The problem is that it's hit really badly. Combined with the damn mood swings I have, and I feel dangerously depressed.

I'm at work right now and it's good to have the distraction. I fear what would happen if I didn't have it. Damn, most of the time, I can be stronger than this, but today....nothing.

I'm a real good actor. Nobody knows how down I am here or at home. Don't want them too, either. Al they'd want to do is talk about it and dammit, I'm so sick of talking. It doesn't make me feel better right now.

Of course, I could be just whining, too. :rolleyes: .

been sitting in this same chair at work since 6 am, haven't talked to anybody. i'm super greatful to have a place like this to connect with people who understand, but sometimes concentrating on the SA an healing and everything involved is just too damn much. We're right there with ya Scot. Thanks for being open and honest.
 
Scot,
Thank you for sharing your pain. I struggle with the feeling of lonliness too. Like you, I'm a great actor. One part of me wants the world to know how lonely I am and then I stop myself and put on the "mask." That's what they did to us - they stole our ability to trust. We were presenting our honest selves and they took advantage of us. They win if we keep putting on the "act" or the "masks." I'm fighting the same fight as you are. You've inspired me to reach out to you and others on this site. We don't have to be alone. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Let's win this one!
