Just feel so alone
Depression Support / by edg0414

...See more It feels funny typing this in a public forum... Like screaming in a field,, hoping for someone to answer... Long story short, my life took a turn for the worse when a person I loved manipulated me into nearly cutting off my circle of support and then left me. Fast forward many therapy sessions later, I find myself in the same spot as always. Alone. Even in a crowd, at work, among like minded people, I feel alone. And somehow, the attempts to connect always fall short. That being said I do have an amazing friend. But she cannot always be there for me. And, she has a big issue with empathy. Amazing human being, just don't ask her to emphatize with you. So here I am. Alone. Again. It feels like the more I try to change things, the more they stay the same. I just wish there was someone. That's all I ask at the moment.

I am alone
Relationship Stress / by edg0414

...See more I am all alone. Two weeks ago, my wife left me. Handed the divorce papers after 5 days. Our marriage was not a fairy tale. Neither it was a nightmare. But I often would find myself doing things I didn't want, alienating close people, just to make her happy. And I thought, if she is happy, then I will be happy. And she just left. She hated my parents, to whom I was close to. I had to hide away to call them, I had to plan their visits when she was at work. She told me she didn't even want to sense their presence at our home. And one night they, along with my elder sister, dropped in after work, waited until she returned. Just to talk, to get a sense of what was wrong and try to resolve it. She got mad, slammed the dor to my sisters face, cried hysterically... But managed to calm down. We started talking, everyone seemed happy, like a great burden was taken of their shoulders.... And then they left. And then my wife announced she will not continue living with me. Packed her bags and left next morning. I only saw her when we went to deal with paperwork. She was calm, serene. I realized that was the woman I fell in love with, but it was too late. She wouldn't change her mind. And now i am alone...
