Anyone else isolated and going through a breakup?

How are you doing

Welcome Ashley! The water is...well this water sucks. Literally the worst pool ever. 0 out of 5 stars. Would not recommend.

Let me and anonymous know how you are! My day today was definitely a lot better than yesterday. Still shitty though.

Feels like it bc I’ve also lost all my family and friends this year. He was the only person keeping me on a good path or any kind of company. I’m super isolated now

@Anonymous I’m sorry hun try being your own company hun. I know it sucks but maybe turn on some up beat songs dance around find something on tv you think is funny dance around using a popsicle as a microphone if you have to I know it might sound silly but what I’m trying to tell you is to just have fun and be your own friend. We gotta have our own backs sometimes and it sucks it really does but it’s worth a shot it’s better then losing yourself

@ashleyboo Yeah. But for what? Like I have no passion or people to work hard for or hopes of a future anymore. Who wants to live a life alone? My family did fucked up shit, my friends left. I have no one who cares. It’s not healthy to be this isolated for so long. I barely have enough money for rent/food rn

@Anonymous Try to dig deep. It really does suck, but try to take one day at a time, one hour at a time, or even one minute at a time. You can do this. Just like Ashley said, start with some small things. Make your bed tomorrow. Maybe even pick up flossing. Give yourself permission to not be okay and permission to create small moments for yourself.

Yeah it’s driving me crazy. My ocd is through the roof and I’m completely alone.

@Anonymous That's a tough spot, fam. Do you have a friend that you can call or zoom with?

@Kory Rozich No

Yes, somewhat.

@Anonymous I feel like mine is some of that but also reanalyzing a lot of things and I have no family or friends anymore so I’m literally super isolated and thinking of the world we live in and feeling suicidal

@Anonymous I'm sorry that's your situation. I understand that feeling as well, especially during my toughest moments. I believe that you can get through this though, if only because I have to believe that for myself too. Are you talking with a therapist currently?

@Kory Rozich No, my dad cut off my insurance and I barely have money for anything

@Anonymous Ok. Have hope! You can do this. There are some channels on YouTube. Have you looked into "Awaken Into Love," the "OCD and Anxiety" channel, and the "NOCD" channel? Let's start there, yea? Also, there's a book that I've found really helpful called "the happiness trap." Maybe you can find a PDF somewhere or pick it up from the library?

For me breakups always feel like the end of the world
