I have felt an absence for as long as I can remember, an absence concerning part of myself, my surroundings and within others; an empty space in my emotional self. The terms where gradual, from disobedience as a child to alienation as a teen, furthermore isolation in my early twenties where I started to use illicit drugs and gained weight, physically and mentally. Now Im having increasing hindrances, holding any type of job, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, or even leaving the house. I had been hospitalized, and was helped. Now Im further than I have ever been in this severed connection with reality. What am I to do when I am afraid to live?

Let me welcome you to babble hope you get lots of support here. You sound so down and depressed are you seeing a doc and on any meds or a therapist? If not a lot of support on this board try psychology and meds most traffic on site and so many great people here too but sometimes there isn't a lot of activity on this board. How can I help you as I'd like to???? Love Phillipa

Dear Wintersummer,
I'm sorry. You sound so unhappy. I hope you either have, or can get a counsellor, or therapist to support you & help you work out some of these really uncomfortable problems.
Please let us know how you are.
:-) Kath

My hindrances boil down to taking action, and some sort of stance in my emotional crisis. It's just difficult when emotions take a toll. I want to thank both you Phillipa and Kath, for caring and lending kind words. I have never had luck with a counselor in the pas,t but am constantly searching for a new one. So that's what I have to do; ways to make my life livable. Thank you again, I won't be on this site again.

Winter, just-in-case you are still reading, I am struck by your statement you will not be back to this site. I wonder if thats a way you feel you can commuincate the absence you are feeling inside? by not coming back others get to really feel how it is for you? The next step is to do something differently and go back and back and back again?
