I'm confused and lonely, new to site
Father of 3, work on the road away from home, first child from previous relationship. I feel as if I'm at wit's end here. I am so confused and lonely, just need someone to talk to about it. I just recently lost my brother also my best friend(year ago) relationship with soon to be "fiance" is hurting, I miss my boys and I'm insanely lonely.
never been diagnosed so to speak, few years back, doc put me on Lexapro for anxiety.
As of right now and recent I feel like I can't control myself, like I"m gonna go crazy. I walk in circles, cuss , I want to yell and hit things, I want to go home to my family, I feel like being violent to let the frustration out, I am trapped in the position I am in, and it really sucks. I feel like jumping off some bridge, I feel like crying myself to sleep like a baby. My emotions are so mixed up and jumbled right now, and many times over, it's crazy. The feelings inside drive me nuts. I don't have the money for a doctor, at least not anytime soon. Most of the time I cannot think or concentrate on anything, my mind DOES NOT rest, someone please talk to me, I honestly feel like I'm about to lose my mind and I just need some advice, i don't know what to do, have no one in my family that really listens or has any answers.....
Hi lonelyj79,
You have every reason to feel the way you do and I think you are doing a good thing by sharing your feelings and reaching out for some understanding and support. The fact you are new to this site means a couple of tips might be useful to get started. So, not necessarily in order of importance:
There's lots to commend on this site - and this isn't a heartless plug. The first thing I would promote are my co-experts. Every person with the expert badge has personal and/or professional experience of depression. We each have a personal email address that can be found under our profile (the link is near the photo of the expert). You will probably find that you can connect with one or more experts simply by reading their material.
Then, we have the support groups and the forum both of which are a great way of meeting people, sharing thoughts & giving and receiving tips.
Then there is the knowledge base. The site is packed with useful features (the search engine will help you locate these) and there are some good videos. I hope these ideas help you to feel both welcome and comfortable with the site.
Best wishes
Jerry
