Hi, my name is Jcjones26. I'm here because I’m worried, sad, angry, exhausted, stumped, ashamed, lonely, desperate and trying really hard to have a functioning family, when one child’s needs are totally overwhelming all of us.

Hello. I’ve been living with OCD for 10 years and I have social anxiety; I’ve come here to socialise and overcome my loneliness. We can help one another, and I think that’s a lovely thing 😊.

Tbh i gave up on my life 3 yrs ago. I was still striving to live back then. I had a little bit of wants and desires left in me. All my life I just wanted to just fall in love and get married to that person.
I never really got a chance to live my life by my own free will. Whatever decision I took or even thunk of has always been judged or rediculed. Ultimately, I just had to live by the choices made by my mom. I am 27, I thought I would have married to the love of my life and had kids by now. But no, I have close to zero autonomy and I am not even made to feel like a complete adult.
I have no desire or will to live. Nothing in life is making me feel happy or content. It feels like I have completely lost myself. The only time that I ever truly lived was when I was in Bachelors, first, second and third year. The last year everyone did college from home due to covid. Covid took that away from me as well. Since then gradually I became like this. Yes, I did go to the same college for masters, but things weren't tge same. I skilled up but I lost my dream, creativity and passion.
Not a single thing, good enough to wake up to. Just numbness and loneliness. I feel so horrible about myself I self isolate. I don't like meeting people of my age or younger or financially poorer, living a more loving and fulfiling life than me. I wanted to colour my hair, get tattoos, dress uniquely, date people, get married for love, have a career I love, make money to live my life however I want. But now I have 0 desire to make money for luxuries, I only make money for my survival. I don't even have any desire to prove my worth. I am so deeply broken that my emotions are not even working properly. I at least used to feel sad and cry when I was younger. Now, I am writing this with a poker straight face with a heavy heart and pain in the back of my throat at 4:35 am on 27th Aug '26. I couldn't sleep the whole, I am lying on my bed, tried sleeping the whole night but couldn't. I have cried myself to sleep since my childhood days. But now that also feels like a big task.
Hoping for a better life. I just have myself, no one or nothing worth living for currently.

Lonely tonight. My dog is dying, she can't walk and stopped eating. I tried to rage quit my job but apparently did it wrong and ended up part time for awhile. Sad. Lonely. Doctors are recommending another procedure. I am in assitive tech classes and spent past few months learning to use a white cane. I can cross intesections now. I am having a custom bag made for it that has unicorns on it. My test is to walk a few blocks to meet my instructor at a coffee shop this coming Thursday. I am afraid of the outside.

My first post here was 7 y ago. I wrote about how sad and depressed I am, how lonely and isolated I felt. I can’t even believe that is still relevant today. Nothing’s changed. I’m saying life isn’t going to be better because it isn’t going to be. Life isn’t worth it. It’s been like this for the past 7 y, why would it be different in the next 7 y. No one believed me when I said it back then. When are people going to believe me when I say, it’s not gonna get better #Suicide

#Misophonia My 34 year old son suffers from Misophonia. He has been struggling with it for years. We have seeked medical help but have not been able to find any solution. It’s been extremely frustrating. I’m a single mom and I feel like his life is very sad, lonely. He has no siblings. He spends most of the day in his room with his computer. He has lost all his friends because they don’t understand his behavior. I think it frightens them away.! I feel like always having to walk on egg shells in my house. If he’s close by I have to be extra careful and not cause any sounds that might irritate him. If I make one, accidentally, especially a loud one he immediately reacts and feels great pain in his ears.He starts to yell, complaining about the pain. If I accidentally make one by dropping something or banging something he starts scolding me, throwing a tantrum . He , in the past has broken many things in my home. He no longer does that because he realized that doing that only hurts him more. If he is told not to, he gets madder and madder and starts blaming me for everything. He starts usually foul language and even demeans me.
I’m in the process of seeking a Nueralagist to find a possible solution. They require an MRI but he can’t take one because of the loud sound of the machine. We tried it once he freaked out and refused to continue.
I believe the only way it can be done is by having him sedated to take it. That’s where we are now, finding a neuralogist than is willing to do that.
If anyone here has found a good neuralogist to help us, please let me know. Thanks

I don't know if you've ever been a groupme user, or part of a groupme group, but I am part of a few and they are a huge part of my support system. One of the nicest parts is that groupme has always intergraded with texting (SMS) even for those who don't have smartphones or reliable internet access, both of which are common in the community that I'm part of. However, that is about to change since since Microsoft sent out a message that they are ending SMS integration in 7 days. Can you join me and others in urging them to reverse this decision? Please sign this petition and promote it to your contacts.
If you are a groupme user, you can also help by submitting feedback through the app.
Thank you so much!!

Some people think that healing arrives all at once.
But for me I no longer believe that.
I think healing arrives the same way dawn does.
Very slowly.
So slowly that, for a while, you are convinced the night will never end.
There were years when we thought we were only surviving.
Years of carrying responsibilities that no one could see.
Years of saying, “It’s okay,” while something inside us was quietly breaking, and our hearts wanted to shout but we even didn’t have a voice to shout, the shouting itself felt useless while we were seeing the whole world moves and we’re staying still we don’t know why the sun rises or for whom ! The people outside are happy and achieving their dreams and we look at our lives and conditions and feel that we’re forgotten and thrown alone
But despite everything we learned how to continue.
To wake up.
To go to work.
To smile.
To answer questions.
To pray.
And to try to keep moving even when we’re not able to talk, walk and while we start and end the day with antidepressants, that we feel it turned us out to be dulls with no emotions or ability to know where we were ? Where we’re? And where we will be ?
And while wondering who would feed the tiredness inside us.
The Life has taken people we loved.
It has closed doors that we believed were meant for us.
It has left us standing in places where we never imagined we would remain for even in the most horrible nightmares
There were moments when we questioned everything.
Not belief.
Not hope.
Just the road itself.
We kept asking ourselves whether we were walking toward something…
or simply walking because stopping was no longer an option.
And yet…
Somehow, we never became bitter.
Life taught us that pain can make us harder.
But it can also make us gentler.
If we decided not to allow the pain and suffering to reach anyone else and to be stopped once they reach our home
If we decided to broke the cycle and say we wouldn’t ever do for anyone what we once hated being done for us
It can teach us to recognize loneliness in someone else’s eyes.
To speak more softly.
To judge less.
To appreciate ordinary mornings.
A cup of coffee with someone you love.
A quiet street.
The sound of birds.
A cat waiting for its dinner.
A phone call from your mother.
Things that once seemed too ordinary to notice.
Perhaps that is what suffering gave us.
Not answers.
Just different eyes.
We no longer dream of a perfect life.
We dream of a peaceful one.
A life where we can sleep few hours peacefully without any distractions or nightmares
A life where we can wake up without carrying yesterday on our shoulders.
A life where we can walk because we want to walk not because it’s forced on us and we had no choice but to keep walking
A place that finally feels like home.
People who choose to stay.
Love that does not need to be chased.
Conversations that do not exhaust the soul.
Maybe none of these things arrive tomorrow.
Maybe some of them never arrive at all.
But we have learned something.
Hope is not believing that everything will happen exactly as we imagined.
Hope is continuing to walk with an open heart, even after life has given us countless reasons to close it.
I don’t know what tomorrow holds.
I don’t know which country or place we will call home.
I don’t know which dreams will come true and which ones will quietly disappear.
But I know this.
After everything life has asked of us…
We still choose kindness over bitterness.
Compassion over judgment.
Faith over despair.
And we’ll keep trying to respond the same way every time despite everything
And perhaps that is already a quiet kind of victory.
So if you are carrying something heavy today…
Keep walking.
Not because life is easy.
But because somewhere ahead, there may be a morning that makes every difficult step worth taking.
And if that morning comes…
I hope we recognize it.
Because sometimes peace doesn’t arrive with fireworks.
Sometimes it arrives as an ordinary day…
that no longer hurts.
Or where there’s someone finally arrive and meet you as you’re and choose to stay not because we’re perfect but because he saw something inside us
I think that when we have beauty inside us one day or another someone will see us his way
And with all the sadness, pain and suffering which we carry we decided to keep trying and we chose to live even if everything decided to kill us we’ll stay alive and hoping for peace, love and compassion to govern everything
And that’s it …..
