Do you ever feel like you don't belong in the world, that you're not quite sure where you do belong, but that you're different from everyone else, and can't quite be like everyone else, and not in a good way?
It's something I've just started working on in therapy, along with my feelings of loneliness...
Hey **huggles**i have felt very similar. Its good your working on it :) i hope it goes well and you manage to feel that you do belong because you really really do. Take care xxxx

Yes I do!
Sometimes I really feel like an alien or a different species. However similar to Irene I also do sometimes like it, it'd be boring to be just like everyone else.
Yeah i feel like i'm on a completely different page from everyone else, i don't seem to get the world like other people do.
I hope the therapy helps xx
"Because you don't notice the light without a bit of shadow. Everything has both dark and light. You have to play with it until you get it exactly right."
I feel like that constantly, and I'm always trying to work out why i'm so different to everyone else, i thinka bout and react to things different to everyone else.
good that you in therapy for it, let us know how your progress is.
" I wake up feeling convicted, / I know something's not right / Re-acquaint my knees with the carpet //
They've been swimming in the wrong waters / Now they're pulling me down / But I am clinging to you, never letting go / 'Cause I know that you'll lift me out //
Have your way here / Keep me afloat / 'Cause I know I'll sink without you / Take this ocean of pain that is mine / Throw me a lifeline " - Lifeline, Brooke Fraser
*hugs* Katie,

{that must be ahard to work on, im glad you have such a GREAT therapist.}
Thanks everyone. It's really good to hear that I'm not the only one who experiences this - you know what I mean...
It's also a relief to feel safe enough to start talking about it in therapy. I feel there'll be quite a few tears before long around this issue. I feel a lot of sadness..
I kind of look like other people, but also not. It's weird. The way the bullies and my parents led me to perceive myself is not good, and very deeply engrained and embedded.
i have been feeling like i don't live like other people, like im weird, like im not in this world, like i have a disability and im different to other people. is that what you mean? there are times that i believe i have something that others don't, like sometimes i believe that i don't see or hear the way other people do, like im not normal. thanks for writing it down. i couldn't express it. do you think its a problem?
im glad you are working it in therapy.

" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB
a lot of the time I feel this way, and I'm sorry you feel this way too.
I've always wondered why I feel this, because it's been there since my
depression came.
