Not sure how to cope anymore. I have no interest in anything. Life has no meaning. I don't want to be alone, but have nothing to talk about when I am with someone. I am just barely getting by. Not sure, what I can do to get out of this slump. Had 3 admissions to the hospital and now thrown out on my own.

hi sandy99,

have you thought about seeing a therapist / counsellor?
keep talking with your doctor, maybe writing down what is happening will help. i am sorry for how you are feeling. i am glad you have posted, you will receive good caring support here.
keep posting sandy99. we care.

with healing compassion,
jamie

Thanks Jamie. I am seeing a therapist. Just has not helped yet. Thanks for your reply. I just feel alone. Seems I lost most friendships through all this. So need to find new friends. Not sure how to go about that. I feel stuck and am feeling why me right now. I am just hanging on by my finger tips. Sounds pityful doesn't it.

Hi Sandy99,

Welcome to the forum. I am so glad that you have joined us. You will be feeling better soon I am sure. Coming here and sharing really helps.

Learn mindfulness and how to live in the now. You can get books on this, and there are sites that you can go to. Mindfulness.org comes to mind for me. Take life one day at a time. That really helps, and as for friends, we make many along the way. It happens naturally. I have made many here at this forum. I keep in touch with them daily.

Take care and keep posting. I am so glad that you joined our group. Tuesday night is chat night. It will be announced on Tuesday.

Keep posting...

Hugs, Karen

Sandy,

Welcome to the forum, and congratulations to you for reaching out and finding support! Hard first step.

Therapy can be a slow process, a key element in it helping is being 100% honest with the therapist. Yes, this is very difficult. I find that on the very hard subject I write to my therapist in my journal, they give him copies of the journal at our sessions.

This is amazingly easier than trying to bring the subject up. Some how he brings it up in the most kind and humane way and before you know it we are talking about it.
Just a suggestion for you.

Please keep posting, as others have said you will find support and friends here. We listen to each other and we share the same pain and joys.

Stay strong
Peace
Trina
