Feeling low

Post Reply New Topic

just feel really low, i've had a 'lump in my throat' for the last few days, feel tired, over eating, want to do nothing and starting to get the urge to cut.
i don't know if it's a birthday thing? another year older and feeling like i'm wasting my life away.
i want to get out and do stuff but my anxiety stops me-so i end up feeling really crap.
i have a friend who keeps suggesting days out and i keep turning him down. he's a great friend but i think he'll stop contacting me as i keep turning him down.
feel miserable and alone.
and i've got 2 more days of holiday on my own, which isn't good when i feel like this.

I know what you've been through. I'm going through the same thing. I'm going through Major Depression. I feel so unattached to the world and for a long time now almost like a month I haven't had any outside contact with anyone besides my parents and my sister. I only have friends that I only meet in church. Besides I don't know if I can find any friends and let alone a relationship with any girl. I though I would like to give my self as your friend. You can email me and I'll let you discuss things with me. If you need anything any support you know you can count on me.

if it's any consolation i am feeling the same. low, frustrated about not being able to get on with anything or being able to get anywhere in life, feeling like i'm just watching the years go by

i just feel constantly in pain, a light pain all through my body. which, thanks to autism, is worse and more annoying than being in bad pain would be (for the same reason that light touch is more annoying than firm touch) i don't know but i think that's one reason for the urge to self-injure (i don't cut, but i do hit myself, the logic being that it turns light pain into bad pain which is easier to cope with!)

and for the last week going out has been a nightmare, i've been getting much more overloaded than usual when out. so i've been stuck in a lot, making me even more frustrated that i'm getting nowhere, and if there's one thing i really can't cope with it's frustration

i'm even finding it hard just to write messages and emails. i lost all my friends ages ago, and the ones still persist with me get fed up cos i can never write

oh dear, i hope i'm not making things worse by saying all this... i'm beginning to sound like my mother - whenever i go to her because i am low and need strength, she always makes out that she has problems worse than mine, with the implication that i should be supporting her! so she ends up draining even more energy from me, i soon learnt not to ask her for help i often feel like i've got nowhere to turn
