Universe

Universe give me the strength to live

Not to just be alive

As the pain grows in my head so does the whole in my heart and I no longer have the energy to play the part

The days in which I was full of life seem distant and now only my apathy and pain prove loyal and persistent

due to my self inflicted isolation Loneliness is my only friend and o never in my whole existence desired so much to reach my end

The force that once flowed through me with passion and life is slowly dying like a candle in the night

I can’t imagine a will to live

I fear I have nothing more the give

If there is any strength left in me it’s locked away and buried deep

With no key in sight

And as the days go by without it I am quickly losing my light

The light that once shown brightly within me and illuminated my path is now nothing more than a flicker - and the insidious darkness that draws me in is growing, making me sicker and sicker

So please I beg replenish my vitality and soul

keep me from passing the point of no return down this deep all encompassing numbing never ending life draining dark black whole

Loneliness

Sometimes you just want someone to talk to, or even be with someone to not be alone. Its the most frustrating feeling. Vibrations of Music helps to lessen the feeling of being alone, but ultimately when you turn that off, you are still alone with no one who wants to listen to how empty you feel. You can have good days. You can be chatty and happy, but when you are alone you are ALONE, with the feeling of no one thinking of you. Yes family cares, but they don't know the feeling of your loneliness inside. I just feel grey. Antidepressants aren't working. everything is just "i dont know" , "i dont care" "i cant be bothered" "i dont feel anything" , "i dont feel like explaining why i feel like this cause you will just say, 'ohh im so sorry, thats not good'. - #Depression #Loneliness #MentalHealth

Friends

I miss my church family.
I really miss them.
Last time I felt like this was around covid time. Then I managed to meet them.
I stopped going because I got offended by something someone said.
Im currently on the psych ward.
Ive had four days in a row of having 4 good days. Then today. A bit blaaaahhhh lazy. And bored. I need to keep staying strong. Make strong decisions. While being kind to myself. Some of the staff are more caring than others.
I feel so tired and lethargic from the meds. Also the patients are noisey.
One day at a time. Hope all mighties understand. These are the things I need right talk to the staff about more.
I seemed to close up when I am approached by the psychiatric nurse.
I need to just keep being honest and open. Not to be overwhelmed by staff who are there to help and support me.
So I gt better and know and tell them that I need. Im really struggling with just telling them how things are.
That Im scared of eviction. Due to rent arrears. The landlord issue Is very heavy now. Whenever I call to pay the payment doesn't go through.
I feel so lonely and worried.

New here

Hi. My name is Cindypp. I am bipolar, have CPTSD and ADHD. I am really just looking for a nontoxic place on the internet to connect with people. I live in a rural area and it is often lonely. I own a business with my husband and we both work from home. My oldest kid will be graduating high school this year. I am very excited for them as they are simply amazing, but it's also a little sad as I do love spending time with my kids. They make me laugh all the time. Right now I am unmedicated. Because I work from home and not out in the real world, I am able to get by without meds. Honestly, I spent most of my life without meds so it's nothing super new though I was medicated for almost 9 years. To calm my brain like to read. I read almost 300 books a year. I absolutely love middle grade literature because it has come so far since I was a kid in the 80s/90s. I also love history books, Black literature, and anything that makes me think. I love learning about new people, new ideas, and other ways of life. Otherwise, I am very scatterbrained and my brain just runs amok. I am involved in an organization that works on women's and girl's rights worldwide which is where my heart is. Below is a picture of my dog, Zora, named after my favorite author, Zora Neale Hurston.

Wow

I'm in a FB group for lonely people who just want someone to talk to. I posted "Happy birthday to me" cuz it felt like all my friends forgot. Within an hour I had over 65 Happy birthday replies. It really cheered me up.
My right hip is back to normal. Can hardly move. Pain is at 7. Pauley wants me to go sit with her but the thought of standing up and walking... Nope.
I'm really craving pudding.
