I broke up with my significant other and I have no close friends to talk to. I have always been one to be lonely because I have difficulty making a mental/ emotional connection with anyone. I have "friends" but they aren't true friends. I blamed myself for neglecting my friendships with people while in this relationship, but at the same time I don't because they were never really good friends. I depended on my significant other too much. And now he is gone. I am suffereing depression and on medication. But isn't the best way to improve depression, to talk to someone?
I feel for you. happened to me at 18. had almost no friends and my gf and I broke up after 1.5 years. I also had depended on her too much. the depression that ensued was beyond comprehension for me. a lot of ppl will say don't take the pills, and i'm one of them. depression is still a useful emotion indicating something to you from within and the solution comes from within. I say embrace your bad feelings, welcome them into your soul as something that deserves to be experienced. ppl addiction is hard to bounce back from but you will feel better as long as you don't try to replace the void with another addiction. I don't know if u are, but exercise and proper diet can go light years with emo pain. namaste
try to keep your mind busy, set a goal to accomplish something you never thought you could... focus and you should feel better in time... *hugs*
keep active/busy! that's my advice i just got out of it.. less things u do the more you'll think bout him. just enjoy yourself.. let loose and don't worry what other think about what you do... I myself don't have close friends I would really rely on but I just focus on things for yourself and don't let emotions stop you from doing them.
just let out ppl here are very nice and will listen and give adivic if u want join a club, go to the gym, build a hobby killsome ppl that will help with the frustration LOL ( im joking dont) just dont let the depression get a hold of u stay health and try to met new friends if u shuting ur self up is a bad thing
two words: conversational therapy. Don't use medication, it'll only mess with your feelings even more than a depression does.
i really feel for you. it is difficult to feel like theres noone around and your isolated with noone to speak to about how your feeling. i depend on my boyfreind a great deal too and hes away at the minute and i find it tough. if you ever want to chat, youre more than welcome to pm me and we can have a chat about it. but i agree with Mrs.K, setting yourself little goals and milestones are a good way to keep going. try to learn something new or accomplish something, stay busy and as positive as you can and you will soon get back on track. Best of luck.
still feelin down? this thread from last month eheh, dont see any other posts from her but if you read this, hey its all good everyone has been there at some point in their life.. opel said it pretty well, we all feel for you and at anytime when you are depressed, keeping your mind busy does help. i spend my depression time writing music, and noting it down.. takes alot of time, but keeps my mind busy, and it does help!
Right on! And it would help if you make yourself you own best friend. Get to know and accept yourself for exactly who and what you are. Especially accept the parts of you that you don't like very well. Then gradually try to change one or two of them - - like if you think that you're too fat, then eat a little less; and if you think that you're too skinny, then eat a little less - - like that. You cannot be a good friend if you are not friends with yourself. Good luck and enjoy life!
