Always Alone!

Good morning 🌞,

My first post! I have PTSD from childhood and an Ex husband, I have a beautiful 11yr old son, he is the most amazing human, so proud of him....

 

Anyway I lost my job a few months ago, my fault. I have no friends ,always struggled to make them, and always pick the wrong men.

In the last month I have been struggling to find the will to get dressed, go for a walk, even eating is a struggle, I get hungry but then when I start eating I feel sick and can't finish, I can't focus on anything for more than a few minutes. I have been smoking a little weed but am wondering if this is making me feel worse? Anyone else had this feeling on weed?

I can't sleep, loosing my grip on things and don't know how long I can keep going this way?

I am not sure if I am body sick or if it is just all in my head.

Re: Always Alone!

Hi☺
This is my first post too!
Looking back I believe that smoking weed increased my depression and for me lengthened it 100%..its not good for a fragile mind and certainly didnt help motivate me to get out of bed🙃

Re: Always Alone!

welcome to the forms @Samc3107 @Deedi  

you have found a wonderful place to come to if you need to talk... need someone to listen... need advice... need someone to just sit there and virtually be there... and need friends.... it's all here

 

we may not be able to physically see each other... but once you join these forums a little part of you enters the hearts of many wonderful people who want to help if they can 

 

answers may not be instantaneous... but they come 

 

I hear you regarding the lack of motivation to get up... get dressed... eat... etc.... I am there right now.... and I wish I had the answers on how to overcome it.... just hang in there.... I am led to believe it does get easier

Re: Always Alone!

Hi and welcome, @Samc3107  and @Deedi ! It's good that you've both joined.

 

 

@Samc3107  and @Lostandalone , I'm sorry to hear you're both in that bad place where it's hard to get out of bed, get dressed and eat. Depression really sucks. I remember something that helped me was when I started taking multi-vitamin tablets...what do you think? And yes, it does eventually get easier, @Lostandalone ...

 

 

@Samc3107 , I'm wondering if you have any professional supports in place for your PTSD and depression? Like a supportive GP, medication, or a counsellor?

Re: Always Alone!

Hi.  I am sorry that you are feeling so alone.  I feel that way myself at the moment and know how hard it is to feel motivated when you feel so disconnected.  please reach out here.
