What Do You Need In This Moment?

Sending heart hugs your way, @frogthroat . Not sure what type of area you live in, but is a connection to nature of any help to you? Without the wild animals and birds I happen upon in my days, I'd feel even more alone, as there are very few humans irl I feel I can genuinely connect with, other than those I have to pay or barter with for services. The animals can't talk nor provide specific therapy, but it helps me a great deal to release a lot of my shit in their presence. I've found that trees are great listeners, too, and they don't mind being hugged, if you're the hugging type. May your heart find comfort via some sort of loving connection, even if only in the mirror, as weird as that may sound. Wishing you the best.

I really appreciate your response. I do like nature and I really like birds. I just have to make myself come out of my apartment.
I think when people think you're having a pity party they ignore you but I have no way of really expressing how hard I'm fighting to stay afloat and I don't think anyone would believe if I said I was trying.
I think the best way I can describe how I feel is like someone close just died but that first week without them is for months at a time. I have never hurt this bad or have been so close to the edge without being hysterical which actually scares me a little. Thanks for listening.
 
frog throat I am also sorry to hear things are so bad right now. I have been where you are and believe that you are trying. I know what it feels like to not be able to leave the house. I found a group to go to once a week and made myself go regularly. Partly because of that, I am doing more things as well. I still isolate a lot and like being alone a lot. Any baby steps can help, and I like the idea of nature too, though I have a dog to care for.
