Agrophobia, depression and isolation
How many of you struggle with this? From leaving home to being home alone I’m in a low place. My kids all return to school term and I’ve not been alone at home for almost 9 weeks. Tomorrow I will be alone 8am-3.30pm. I’ve spent my last few days crying, not eating or sleeping well due to anxiety. How do you all spend your days when feeling like this? I have no friends to call or chat with whilst alone. I go to sleep feeling anxious and the same sensations waken me, I have literally done every therapy, course, counselling and nothing has benefited me. I feel so stuck this can’t be my life forever!!!
@yellowNectarine2909s so sorry you're feeling this way 😔 Have you tried talking to a listener here? Maybe that would make you feel less isolated and alone.
@yellowNectarine2909 you say you feel isolated... you just don't know what to do in the period. The only reason you are thinking about the feeling of being all alone without your kids is because you are not busy. Have you considered starting a new hobby? or maybe trying to retrieve an old hobby? keep your day pre occupied by spending time on yourself. Show yourself the love. You don't need people to start a hobby, they will follow along as you pursue it. You will meet new people to bond. Just start with something small to keep you busy or pre occupied and before you know it you would have not only over come this feeling but you might have mastered a new skill!
