Get allergy tested. The sinus problems could be from food. My mom didn't have as an extreme problem as you but she would get headaches,coughing, sinus issues etc from eating certain foods.

Have you tried going to a church. It doesn't matter if you have a religion or not. I just know that it is a good place to meet people and not feel so alone.

When you're feeling "all alone", then sitting at home is not a good thing to do for yourself. Go for a walk. Even just sit outside. If you sit inside, just looking at the walls, it will only get worse. I would also recommend starting a journal for yourself to put your thoughts.

Do you have any neighbors that would walk with you? You would feel safer and make a new friend at the same time. Or just invite them over for a cup of coffee.

I have as I do have the desire to figure out this mess of "god stuff" confusion. It wasnt something that i could handle at the time so stopped going. My trauma was focused around religon so its something that brought it all up.

Not sure how to get to know them to invite anyone to coffee but working on it. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

Hey you guys @katz and @lostforgottensoul maybe it would be a good idea to move your conversation elsewhere. The OP of this thread @PrettyJoke came here in a state of despair and if she comes back she'll see that her introduction thread where she was reaching out for help has been taken over by other people's problems. I know threads go off topic but I don't think it's a good idea to do this to a new person in their intro thread as it can possibly influence whether or not they even stay and get help.

Your right, Eve. I'll be more careful.

I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking of any "God" stuff. Just a safe place for some friendly smiles. How about a craft group of some kind?

Hi everyone, I'm back....I get kinda sad on the weekend because I don't have work to distract me. Lately I have been thinking about death....like everything I do is pointless because I'm gonna die. I feel like whats the point? Is that weird...I don't know just talking I guess.

Get allergy tested. .

I have been allergy tested.

 

[lostforgottensoul]

@PrettyJoke im sorry you are having a hard time! Have you thought about creating a trauma diary? Not that im saying you have to create one, just that its a great place to write anything you want. And many give feedback in there too.

Anyway, just though Id advise about them.

Maybe I will make one. I just went and searched for it because I didn't know what it was....everytime I think about how I lost my smell I can feel the pain and hurt and depression and unfairness and I just don't want to move...I'm so down.

It is unfair! I agree with that. Life has been really shitty to us. It isnt fair that we have to deal with this stuff.

That being said, its here now so how can we move foward and heal?

I had a blind friend. He said every other sense got better for him, especially his hearing. He could "see" by hearing. And i watched an amazing documentry of people "clicking" (forgot the exact name of it) but its how bats see. Click sound bounces off of objects where they can actually "see" that way. Its amazing.

My point is, I know this sucks, i cant imagine how much, but it doesnt have to be the end of you.
