anyone there...and why?

[Poppers]

Pointless me writing this but I kind of just want someone to talk to - but not really talk about anything, just to know there is someone out there that cares - even though noone will, none of you know me IRL! I feel so lonely. And scared too, I have never heard of anyone else in my situation - no longer in education, unemployed, living at home, MH issues, no friends, no socialising, no relationship ever - my day is genuinely get up, pass time, eat, bed - I don't leave the house, unless I need to go to town etc. I've got no plans for the future, no course to do or job to aim for, nothing.

What keeps you fighting every day, when you have nothing to fight for? (Something I'm very much struggling with in the day-to-day sense and in the recovery sense, I'm attempting recovery but don't really see the point).

hey, we care *hugs*

different things kept me going at different times. one of them was knowing that i can't change the past, but i can change the future. and what happens in the future will become my past. and the good will start to pile up and overwhelm the bad... (i'm not sure how much sense that actually makes, it worked in my head)

i think the biggest thing you could do to help yourself would be to start doing something, volunteering, a club, anything really to get out, make friends, and feel like there is some purpose to your day...

Hey poppers.

That sounds a lot like how i was last year. The first thing i would do in the morning was reach down the side of the bed and get my cigarettes and lighter and smoke, then get my laptop and watch tv all day.
It's very difficult to see a point in that situation.

Could you do any volunteer work or a home learning qualification? The home learning qualifications are great because you can work at your own pace and there isn't much pressure.

You say you have no plans for the future, why not make some?

Hey, that sounds very much like how life is for me at the moment. No job, not much to do during the day, no one to see on weekdays etc.

It is difficult to get motivated, but once you do for the first time you'll find its much easier to the next time. Try and fine something worth getting out and about for, sometimes just the fresh air is awesome to get out in!

Take care, and if you need anything feel free to pm me.
