Feeling very sad
Hi everyone,
Today im feeling sad and overwhelmed. I feel very lonely in life, even when I'm around people. I feel like I'm caught between wanting to be alone and isolated from people, and wanting to find a relationship. But I also have anxious attachment, so that definitely doesn't help me. I am currently at work and wish I was not here. There's been a lot going on in my family lately too. I just wish I could catch a blessing and feel happy for once

🥺
I'm genuinely sorry you are struggling.
It can feel so intense and overwhelming.
It is hard to navigate at times.
I hope that you feel better soon and more like yourself 💚
Thank you, one thing I really struggle with his how to be a good friend to myself while trying to take care and make others happy
@Tbone988
If you work on you first it'll gradually extend through to others 💚
It's just....so hard. Because I feel like from a young age I've been pretty much a people pleaser and taking care of my wants and needs is so hard when I'm on my own or when I'm not around loved ones and friends
@Tbone988
Oh completely understandable. When you are a genuine all around person and you put others first, it can take time and consistent small steps to start to care about your needs too 💚
I just get so caught in my usual habits and ways of thinking, that I tend to feel more comfortable in the misery which is not good I know
@Tbone988
I think it's more a case of being comfortable in what you know, habits, it can be good to shake it up 🤗💚
Some days I wish I was more normal, by that I mean more adept to being able to be on my own and not have to constantly rely on others while still enjoying being around people
@Tbone988
It's something we can work on, it takes time but it's possible 💚
