Lonely and miserable

That's it really.
Many things are really getting mecdown and I feel like I sm sinking Sad

Don't know why but 'friends' never make effort to see me despite many of them not working (I work 4 days a week). Most will only invite me to see them or will fit me in seemingly as a last resort. It always seems to be me doing all the running as if I didn't I don't think anyone would contact me. As a bit of a 'test' I haven't contacted anyone for 3 weeks and I haven't seen or heard from anyone.
I never seem to have any money at all so end up being stuck at home with no petrol in car to go anywhere or actively seek out seeing people.
Brothers never reply to my texts and consistently let me down.
I just feel bloody miserable all the time and really lonely. On the surface I prob might seem like I have loads of friends, colleagues at work, friends in band I am in, force myself to be upbeat friendly and chatty at work buts getting increasingly hard to keep up the pretence. Most days I just want to stay in bed.
Had day off today and have literally done nothing, can't motivate myself, either spend the day walking round the house or just sitting there. Then school pick up time comes and I feel guilty and cross with self that I have wasted yet another day
Anyway that's it really just wanted a bit of a moan and someone to talk to :( thanks for listening

Sorry you are suffering too rotw Sad it's so hard isn't it? I feel bad that I cantgive a 'reason'. On the face of it I have a good life but I think I have buried my head in the sand so so many times over the years and haven't actually resolved anything in a vain and stupid attempt to be strong. What a bloody joke!
Spent all lastbight in tears and I don't usually 'do' emotion like that lol
Really felt as if I was going completely mad yesterday but bit brighter today and have finally made gp appt..... Tho it's not til next thurs in other words in plenty of time to back out of it!
Have you seen your go rotw? Or maybe speak to a close friend? Although I am finding it really hard to see/speak to anyone in rl ATM my good friend, andlipsticktoo, has been really supportive (after I outedmyself in spectacular fashion!)

Can I recommend you read the book 'Malignant Sadness' by Lewis Wolpert? It may help you to understand what you are feeling. God luck for Thursday too.

Thank you eldritch I might look that one up see if they have it in the library

Well I finally got to the gp this morning and she has prescribed fluoxetine (Prozac ) and said I will prob need to take them for 7-8 months+ eeek
Have taken first one this morning and already feel extra spaced out/dizzy like I am getting a migraine but not. Don't know whether it's already side effects or whether I am so anxious about the probable side effects that I am making myself feel ill HmmSad
not a good day..... Again.

It may be side effects but even if it is, they will probably subside after a day or two. Do stick with it for a while-it may take a little time for the positive effects to kick in.

I am feeling a bit more positive that the pills are going to help me. Felt a bit better yesterday just a bit sick and headachy. Thank you for your support Smile
