It's been a long time since I had a winge..the problem is in the real world it's hard keeping my chin up for the benefit of friends/relatives ( I only communicate by phone )...they just can't deal with my depression. I don't blame them.
One friend said 'thats just life'..but he ain't my mental friggin illness that sucks away rational thoughts and actions.
Some horrible stuff has happened and some annoying crap is still happening that I can't cope with and I'm feeling trapped in my own brainbox, seems like there's no safe haven.
I'm an anxious mess with my thoughts spinning like a washing machine on full spin .
Don't know what to do where to run / no doctors or therapists I have allergy to such creatures.
Maybe I should follow the benzo trail to la la land sit on a mushroom all day juggling with stardust.

I understand your problem...believe me. I lost my best friends because they thought I was "too depressing" to be around. Just say..."f*ck it...I am inventing a whole new life...I am moving to Bohemia!"...or something like that. Those people are NOT deserving of your friendship. Period.
Best,
Jay

I'm sorry, Slinky.
I'm sorry that horrible stuff has happened, and I'm surprised that you don't have anyone in real life who understands.

I actually rode my bike with a neighbor and my husband last evening. First time I've done anything in real life with anyone. But she works at a nursing home so she's an understanding person. But I did it. Maybe this should be on self-esteem. Someone wanted to talk to me. Wow!!!!Love Phillipa

Thank you all for replying...I took a klonopin so feeling elf like.
I really only have one friend--boyfriend ( I'm a loner because I don't get out much )haven't seen him for months cause he's been ill with cancer and I've truely supported him, phoned him almost daily asking how he is.
He 's got bored of my misery now...guess his anti depressants working.
I've a neighbour from hell driving me crazy in the flat above . I want some peace and quiet.
A very dear friend who I've been very fond of for many years was brutily murdered trying to save someone else life, I feel so sad then so angry..he was the nicest and inspiring man who accepted someone for who they were. Even though I hadn't seen him for ages- I kept away because I felt like I was falling in love and I wasn't his type- it's really hit me emotionally he didn't deserve to die the way he did.I find it hard to help others here..sorry...I just need some kind of outlet...I do read others posts and empathise but can't think of anything to say ,my brains all mashed up.

I don't know what winge is, but it sounds terrible. It's good to see you buddy. I'm sorry that your plate is so full right now. You know that so many here love you for who you are--so come back. If your head feel like it's in a washing machine--we'll put in some Tide and Oxy-clean and wash all the bad away--or at least try.

You don't need to say anything Slinky. If it helps to post here, then I'm glad Babble is here for you.
I'm so sorry about your friend. That is the worst sort of unfair. It's beyond words how terrible it is to die that way.

Dear Slinks, I'm so sorry about the loss of your friend, and your boyfriend's illness. It just sounds overwhelming :-(
You would make a lovely stardust-juggling elf
P.S. The little bunny says I love you, even though I haven't seen his face since I switched computers. Where is the bunny hiding?

Oh my God! That's horrible! But being the kind of person he was, maybe he would like the fact that he went out trying to help someone else. I don't know if that's comforting or not, but it was the first thing that occured to me when I read this. It sounds like he was a very special and inspiring man.
> I really only have one friend--boyfriend ( I'm a loner because I don't get out much ) haven't seen him for months cause he's been ill with cancer and I've truely supported him, phoned him almost daily asking how he is.
That's a very difficult thing to deal with. Is it a curable kind? I hope that it is and he's doing well.
I don't really have any friends either. Partly out of driving them away with my mental issues, and partly from keeping myself isolated. So you're not alone in being alone. (Isn't that a lyric from some song?)
> I find it hard to help others here..sorry...I just need some kind of outlet...I do read others posts and empathise but can't think of anything to say ,my brains all mashed up.
Don't worry about that! This place is all about support. I've noticed alot of people say they feel they don't support others enough. But its always people who make me think, 'Really? I've never would have thought that about them.' I think its just that people like us are so sensitive to the feelings of other's that we feel a bigger responsibility to help than most people would.
You have enough going on to make anyone feel like their brains are mashed up! So don't try to put more on your shoulders. And keep venting so we'll know you're okay.

Posting here really helped!
I had a decent meal for a change.
( Bobby winge means whine )
You're all so kind and special.Never forget that.My boyfriends cancer has gone he's recovering ..he just has to deal with a stoma in his stomache but that'll get fixed later. I don't know how our relationship will go from now on ..he basically said phone when I was more positive so that'll be a while :-)
Watch out ! More whining...
The main problem is I can't tolerate noise when I'm depressed ...I'm ok when noboby's around. But when the upstairs starts playing crap rap music and it sounds like he continually moves furniture around...I'm old and grumpy but I need my spiritual space to heal my mind. I've tried talking - he's always drunk so I don't think he's well.My friend died a hero..he was loved by so many ..his funeral will be brimming with friends.
Tabitha...one day I'll arrive with two baby bunnies so we can let them loose and watch them frolic on your lawn.
