new and lonely

[Liz]

Hello everyone
Im new here, and i really need poeple too talk too.
I have had mental health problems for about 10 years now. Sometimes things are managable, majority of the time, diffcuilt and occasionally have been life threatening. Things are difficult at the moment, but im starting to feel like il never get better, or live tolerable life. I feel so alone, and i have nobody i can talk too. Im in a bit of a muddle with canibis, and have stopped taking my medication, im not sure why, its like something is telling me not too. My attempt to get back on the band wagon have failled, im a failling mature student. Just want some poeple to talk too, im fed up of crying on my own
Hope everyone is feeling strong xx

Hi Liz

I'm relativly new here too. So I don't really know folk. But reading the threads can really make you feel that there are people out there who understand. Everyone seems really supportive too, if you do post anything.

Hope you get what you want from RYL, and you are able to tolerat things better. HUGS

I'm always around if you need to have a chat and there are plenty of people here, myself included, who can relate to what you're going through and more than willing to listen.

Hi Liz. I've suffered from depression and PTSD for many years now. I've cried alone for more years than I would like to say. I know how awful it can feel. I was a mature postgrad student for a while, but had to leave off from it because of my vulnerabilities. So yeah. My pm box is always open. There's a huge great link in my sig to it!

hi, I can relate to what your saying. I have social phobias so I have a hard time being with people...thats why I joined here ^.^ so I wouldnt be alone...

Welcome to RYL, I'm sorry to hear that things are so difficult for you. You say that things are difficult at the moment, but there are times when things are more managable? Try to hang on to that though, I know that it's not much when you are feeling really low but it can help a little to remind yourself that you can get through this. Perhaps when you are feeling a little better you could explore how you are feeling and how you could move forward.

Do you know if your college/uni has a student counselling service? That could be a start if you'd like to talk things through with someone. You can always get support here on RYL through the forums, or use Live Help, or email the supporters: support@recoveryourlife.com I am also here if you ever need anything. Is student life difficult for you because of your health? If there is a disability service you could get special arrangements made for you such as extra time in your exams and consideration of your health when exams are being marked. Use all the services that college/uni has to offer, they are there to help.

Maybe you could discuss with your doctor or whoever prescribed you the medication how you are feeling about taking it? It can make things worse if you stop taking it all of a sudden, you can always come off it gradually with some support. This may be contributing to how you are feeling.

Please take care, I am here for you any time. xxx
