Feeling very emotional and sad

[DocusDiplo]

I feel lonely. My mum.died when I was young . I am having some counselling. I feel sad. Alone
. Sorry crying. So alone. Bit sad. And upset. Bit angry like it's not fair. No mum. No dad. Separated from.ex. very alone . Why does noone love me

So sorry you feel alone. 🌸.

Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry your feeling like this and for your loss.
Has anything made you feel like this today in particular?

Oh OP, you have been loved, and I'm sure ARE loved. Romantic relationships come and go for everyone and the breakdown of one isnt a reflection on how loveable you are or aren't. It's easy to lump everything together when you feel sad.

Have you spoken to your GP about feeling this way? Therapy can really kick things up emotionally and make them worse before they get better, it isn't easy.

Anyone you can see in real life for some light relief? Any colleagues or acquaintances? Do you have a pet?

Well, I'm here sitting on a sofa possibly hundreds of miles away from you, thinking about you and hoping you'll feel happier soon!

It's horrible to feel alone xx

I'm sorry you are feeling so low, OP. It makes me think of the day my Mum died - Dad was long gone , my divorce had just gone through, and I'd just quit my long-standing job. I remember thinking " I'm an unemployed, divorced orphan !"

I'm sure that things will get better as time goes on just going to work can help enormously. Even if you don't have a job ( like I didn't), volunteering can give you a sense of purpose and the feeling of belonging.

Best wishes to you xx

Sorry you’re feeling so low OP

Do you have any hobbies? A pet? Could you spare any time to volunteer to meet other people?

You’ve always got Mumsnet to post on any time any day!

Thank you

I have friends, work, study, kids. No hobbies per se. I just don't feel i fit in anywhere.

Thanks for messages last night. I just spoke about this stuff in therapy on Monday and I think it was the weight and emotions of this all spilling out. Didn't really think it was worth living. (Yes yes MN I know I can Samaritans! I'm fine! ). Hopefully this is a phase . Thanks for your messages. And breathe.

DocusI have everything you could ever wish for fabulous children, grandchildren, nice homes, Enough Money, lovely husband , lovely friends, fascinating hobbies and I can often feel like that.

I just have to tell myself it’s a feeling. It will pass. It’s not my reality . Sometimes a good cry is needed for the things you’ve lost that can never be regained. Grieve them and move forward.
My lovely parents for example, friends who have passed on..

Good that you are getting some therapy. I find it really helps.
I just think I’m one of life’s sensitives .
Hopefully today is a better day.
I’m real tired today. Haven’t slept well. I’m going to have to be kind to myself as well.

Actually I think it’s very healthy to be aware of these heavy feelings.
You sound like you are dealing with it very well and I think that’s the secret.
Grief is often at the bottom of these things.
Trace it backwards and see what is triggering it.
That’s how I manage it
I ask myself why am I feeling this way
What’s at the bottom of it all
Find the root.
