Feeling a bit low and lonely

Posted , 5 users are following.

Just having a blip but had a few unsettling weeks, the thoughts of no one liking me are creeping in, I can’t shake this and I’m over thinking again, today my husband was being quite frankly a dick and it was the straw that broke the camels back.

I can’t help think that I have some. Sort of issues making and keeping friends and I’ve been contemplating some therapy to understand my self more and to get to the bottom of this, I feel I give a lot as a friend and don’t receive it back, maybe I expect too much I may be too intense, but there has to be something not quite right and I can’t seem to see what everyone else does . Sorry for the ramble just needed to get these thoughts out , has anyone had therapy and did it help ? Xx

    I too have this self hatred - assuming others feelings and mind reading (badly). It affects how I approach life on  assault basis. If you see the world

    as threatening people tend to approach it defensively, if you feel good about yourself this is projected onwards I feel.

      Hi Craig that’s a good way to put it assuming mind reading !

      I’ve not looked at it like that but yes that’s exactly what I’m doing, assuming and believing I’m right

      Why do I do this is what I really want to understand

      I’m 35 and want to start a family soon but I need to understand my mental health as I don’t want this to ever affect any of my children. 

      Thanks for responding it really helps, have you felt like this for a long time ? Or do you have on and off periods of these thoughts ? Xx
