Feeling hopeless

I have struggle with my MH for a long time, though most people looking in from the outside wouldn't know. I am very lonely and feel my world has shrunk to being so small. I have spent much of NYE and today alone and just don't see anyway that things will get better moving forward. My family live across the country and nothing seems to hold any excitement anymore for me. I've been actively suicidal at times this year but not quite there again yet, just feel like I want to rip my life up and start again but not in a position to ATM.

Does your family know that you are feeling this way? Would it help to talk to a member?

I think they know but I don't think any of them are in a position to offer any help.

OP feeling exactly the same as you. I have a husband but he simply doesn't get MH. All I can offer is a hand hold. All that is keeping me going is the thought that Spring is on its way

It’s difficult when family are so far away (mine are too )
I have started volunteering which helps meet people . Stepping out of my comfort zone and being fearful isn’t easy though ! but I figure if I don’t try new ways by of doing things then I won’t ever improve !
NYE I was home alone too - unwell but had no plans . It’s just an evening
I am seriously considering a relocation when my youngest finishes his education !
But then the thought of starting again elsewhere is daunting too !
