| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  |

| |  Married, Friends Yet Still Feel Alone
This doesn't make sense and it irritates the bajeezes out of me. I'm happily married, have friends but I still feel totally alone. I know why. For me it marks the beginning of a depression cycle. I am totally sick of this whole thing. I have had enough!!  It's like I'm visiting my life, if that makes sense. Anyway, that's my whinge. Can anyone relate??? |

More than you know! I'm not depressed, but dealing with so many emotions right now and it just makes me feel like I'm standing all by myself sometimes. I, for one, will be glad when this part of my recovery eases up a it. |

very much. hang in there, you are seeing the truth--that you are not alone, and that it is depression coming on, so you have to keep telling yourself the truth, and look for a distraction that can put a little joy in your life. fight it, i am learning this very lesson right now, too.

I can relate. You know the old cliche about being surrounded by people yet lonely and being alone yet not lonely... Feeling like a bystander in your own life is also familiar to me and depression really makes it worse because that can complete the vicious cycle if I start to be alone, thus making myself more lonely. If that makes sense. I guess it is good you are happily married and have friends. My friends were very very important for me when I was really depressed last year because I stopped eating, sleeping, going out and they would come over and haul me off for meals and just company. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
