Desperately sad, anxious & alone

That’s it really. No real local friends, no family apart from dd 20 ( who no longer lives with me and is currently blaming me for mistakes I made in her childhood- maybe rightly so but I did what thought was right at the time). Terrible anxiety, ocd, overthinking, feeling like I’ll fall apart if anything else goes wrong and feel like crying.
Have had counselling, cbt, hypnotherapy & ssris in the past. So desperately sad and don’t really know the point of it all anymore.

How are you feeling today? If you can't focus on a book atm, I find rewatching a familiar series can help me switch off for a short while.

Hope you managed to get some sleep last night. Are you back at work today? Sometimes I find the routine of having to go to work can be a distraction for a few hours.

Just checking in on you @Notsurewhattodo99 to say I was thinking of you. Let us know how you're doing.

In your case you have to force yourself go to the same places so people get to know you slowly ...might not become intimate friendship territory but you still will be seen by people

@Bathingforest what do you
nean by the same places?
