Need Help Dealing With Feeling Alone
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Even though I have my husband and kids I still feel very alone. I have some friends but we don't talk a lot and I usually have to start the conversation.

Hi

I have heard this a lot even from people who are really popular etc. It helps if you can write down how you are feeling. Buy yourself a journal and write down everything that is making you feel alone. Are you on medication for depression and do you have therapist? If the answers are no then I would start there. Also if you can find someone who would just listen to you and I mean just listen it would help a lot. I don't recommend your husband because men always want to fix things and they can't. Take care

I feel the same way. I am married with 2 grown kids. I don't mind being alone, maybe the feeling that I'm not enough for people makes me feel lonely. I do not have any friends.

I know how you feel about having to start the conversation. Its very close to being a misfit so your not alone in that.

I feel alone all the time its very hard to deal with the best I found to do is go to movies or concerts get to know new people and before you know it you have a following of friends.
