I wish I'd never existed. In retrospect my life has been a constant battle with anxiety, depression and panic attacks. I've spent most of the time trying to fix myself and others. Just doesn't make sense any more. I'm tired of the constant battle and see no light at the end of the tunnel. I wish I could go to sleep and never wake up. I'm alone anyway and have no family except my dog, who's been more of a friend than anyone to me. The last person who cared about me passed away last year and it's been a downward spiral since.
Even writing this looks like the epitome of self pity, so be it......I don't know how else to feel. If only there were a timeline on this pain, if only I could see an end to it, but I don't. Each day seems worse than before with the occasional short(hours) reprieve. I'm tired of trying to act like everything is okay and wearing a mask for others to see. I don't want to burden others with my dark feelings, most wouldn't understand anyway. I'm just tired and weary.

I'm going to be brutally honest, it is hard for me to cry just by reading a post but I just had some tears while reading the first few sentences. You have no family? Or ye don't get along? I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss, please know and believe that we really truly do care here. You aren't burdening anyone here, anyone replying wants to help you and cares and those who are reading most likely care too so while you *feel* alone you aren't really. You are a great person with a big heart and if it matters I am here for you.

I'm so sorry I made you sad Petal, that wasn't my intent I just wanted to vent my feelings and see if it helped. No on the family, we left Scotland for Canada in 1966, my Mom was my last relative in this country. The last years I was focused on her as she was 87 and still living alone. I didn't realize how alone I felt until she passed away.
I've been on the phone since posting trying to find out about a psychiatric referral put in by my MD 3 wks ago, apparently it never went through. Thankfully I checked and was able to get it resolved and an apt for April 9th. Hopefully he can help with my medication, I can't go on feeling like this. At least now I have a small ray of Hope.
Thank you for caring Petal, you're a good person.

What I find helps me with the feeling of being alone is learning to appreciate the solitude. If I sit down, and imagine, I can make books my friends. Most people think you can't talk back to books but you can, write in the margins. It sounds crazy but it really works.

Thank you for the suggestion, I do read a lot and never thought of this. But it's worth a try.
