Im Not Okay

[trying2movefwd]

Im not okay. Most of my support around here is gone on vacations and such. . . And I just need help.

What's up?

Maybe call a crisis line just to have someone to talk to?

Either way, we're here! :hug:

It is hard when support people are out of town. I found it helpful to force myself to go to the gym or a park so I am around people. Often I make a new acquaintance. Going to church helps me as well. I have forced myself to go out to lunch by myself and will people watch while texting a friend or chatting online. If I stay in my home when support people are out of town, I quickly become depressed and basically immobilized.

Sending hugs your way if you will accept and letting you know I am here.

Good ideas @Enaila! Just being around people is good and you can even make new friends!

That's why we're here

I sure wish I knew what caused my changes in moods and loneliness and hopelessness and despair too. If I could figure that out then maybe I could offer you some advice.
Something that helps me is calling somebody else that I know is hurting or lonely - a friend, relative, somebody in a support program - and just saying "hi" and letting them chat and tell me how their life is going at the moment. Listening seems to be therapeutic for me. Just listening.
I go into work overnight in about 2 hours. I hate it. But I check in here sometimes on breaks cuz it lifts my spirits a little. So I'll check to see how you're doin if that's ok?
I'm not exactly the bluebird of happiness myself tonight. Out of town away from support and stuff here too. Phone calls, texts, reading or posting here, sometimes a prayer or some good support literature seem to help me.
Tomorrow is Sunday....maybe I'll find a church service or being around people.... that sounded like a good idea too. Thanks, Enaila, I may try that myself:joyful:.
I can send you some wishes for some happiness and support. hope you feel better real soon!
Oh, and thanks for all the support you send out around here and just bein you.:happy:

Of course I'm not the Bluebird of Happiness. I'm an owl!

I know...that was stupid... but I thought it was funny.....
