Lost and lonely

Postby Cass » Thu Jan 09, 2020 11:11 pm

Hello,
I suffered from PTSD for a while in 2015 and I still feel the impacts in my life. Every winter is so rough for me since that time. I constantly feel sad, lonely and hopeless. I lived with anxiety for a while and now I got some issues with my relationships.

I tell myself that people I know don't want to talk to me first or see me because I'm worthless. So... my self-esteem is very low. I'm introverted but I would like to know that people care about me sometimes. Also, I pushed away my best friend by being always negative. I fear rejection a lot. That's why I don't initiate anything with new people. I don't know how to start conversations either.

It's getting harder now because I moved from my hometown last summer for university. I regret my choice for some reasons. I got some options, but
none looks ideal. During my first semester, I lost control over my life. I drank a lot of alcohol in my lonely days and got bad grades because I stopped studying. I felt like doing nothing. I'm back at it after the christmas break and I still feel like doing nothing.

Sorry if my English is not perfect, this is not my main language.

Thank you and if anyone can relate or wants to reach out, feel free!

hi there, hope you be strong
maybe some help from professional?

I too going to visit the doctor while my depression is in the mild states, and see if this helps after years of neglecting those symptoms.

I pray that everything will turn out fine with you.

Great. You see the problem, but you need to think highly of yourself by looking at what you do have. You are not worthless. Even a beggar isnt worthless. There are some beggars (and people in poverty) that go on to being celebs. You have the power to change your life and become an influence. Do that. Stop being introverted and socialise with people. Your confidence will grow at a fast pace, your self esteem will go and you will be even more attractive in the eyes of the opposite sex. Rejection comes to everyone, get back on the horse and continue riding,
