I feel so alone...

[Tina]

Maybe I should not feel this way. But I just feel like no one likes me.:( I know I do have a few friends but we don't talk very much. I don't know if it is my depression making me feel this way or not.

I have been here for almost 3 years and feel like I have not made any close friends. I do know I have people care about me but I'd like have someone talk to everyday or least everyday. I am just so lonely.

I know I have my husband and kids. Sometimes I just need talk to someone else.

I just hate to bring this up I really do. I just feel so alone right now.:(

Tina,
I know how you feel I dont have a lot of friends either. It's a long, long story of what all happened in my life. I can totally relate. I love my husband and my kids BUT it's always nice to have other women to talk to. You feel free to email me or pm me anytime ok!:)

[Karen]

Winter can be one of the hardest times, the lack of light and warmth (depending on where you are) can truly affect some people. I know I often tend to get the blahs or feel down more often in the thick of winter, usually January/February are the worst. Some people actually go for phototherapy when they suffer from winter depressions.

You've had a lot happen as well, but I think a big thing is you will often feel you aren't liked or accepted as long as you feel dislike or unacceptance towards yourself. I think the more you learn to accept and like yourself, the less you will feel those feelings of being alone and unliked. It has a nice beneficial side effect of making you feel more confident and confidence tends to draw people too. There is no exact way of doing this, I think everyone has different things that help them in this way. I hope you are able to find some answers but I think they will have to come from within you in order to give you a more lasting feeling of peace.

I fully agree with you K9soul, this happens to me as well. When I feel alone or withdrawn I'll be emmiting negative vibes and the people around me shut me out authomatically. I find that lisitng on a piece of paper positive things about me on a daily basis makes me feel better about me and people just cling to me. It is hard when you're down but you have to try han.

Take care xxxx

If you need somebody to talk to just pm me! :D Sorry you are feeling this way. :(

[Tina]

My gosh I feel so stupid right now.:o :( You all are being so nice to me and I act like no one cares. I need to get out of this. I do know people care here and you have showed me that. I don't know what is wrong with me.:( I hate feeling this way... I feel like crying right now.

I will visting a therapist in a few weeks so hopefully they will help me out. But I know talking to more people would really help me out to.

I'm sorry if I sound ungrateful... I am very grateful I have people talk to here. I am just down for some reason today.:(

I am so sorry if I am bringing anyone down! I don't want do that!

[Logan]

Hee hee - silliness alert - if you bring us down enough, we'll be low enough to skritch Reggie's tummy! Do we know if she's part dachshund or Bassett? Somebody stole mosta her legs!

[Tina]

LOL! Karen you really know how to cheer a person up!

I was told Reggie's mother was part dachshund, so I believe she has alot of dachshund in her.

Logan you have been nothing but a great friend!! I am so glad there are wonderful people like you in this world!!

I just hope things get better here!

[Jods]

Okay sorry I got confused. I would be down to if everything that happened to you happened to me you've been through a lot!! Gie your dogs a hug and your kids for me and cheer up soon or at least get the help you need.

[K9soul]

Tina, try not to be so hard on yourself. I notice your first reaction is to blame yourself for things and feel bad. Don't be afraid to reach out and ask for support, don't feel guilty about saying how you feel. I know it's hard, it becomes a habit to blame yourself for everything, you just have to push that tendency away as much as you can. I'm a semi-reformed self-blamer and I know how suffocating it can feel at times. Hang in there :)
