Have you ever seen the old depression medication promotions on the TV? with the little walking head’s that talk about how depression can make you feel like a wall is there when there really isn’t one. that sounds like what you are describing to us.

signmycast- I understand how you are feeling, I have had those same thoughts and feelings. being surrounded by people but feeling completely alone. that is what brought me to this site in the first place. I needed a place where I could discuss things anonymously. I am telling you right now that you can talk to me about anything you want without having to worry about feeling embarresed or judged. if there is something in particular on your mind, or just a bunch of things all piled on top of each other I am here to talk to. I cant promise I will have answers but I promise I will listen

sorry- it was about 2 years ago that they had it on. was your friend hurt?

sometimes if you are already feeling low something traumatic like that can be the trigger. How is your friend?

you are probably suffering from shock. i hope your friend is pulls through.

did you have any of these feelings before the accident? or have they all just started since you found out?

why didnt you feel you could trust people? You were afraid they would betray your trust? or that they would judge you? or that they just wouldnt care or understand?

sorry, you dont need to talk about anything you dont want to. you had just mentioned feeling alone a few times and I thought you might want to talk about it. But right now you are probably more concerned with the accident, so if you would rather talk about that I am here

Did you want to describe exactly how you are feeling?

Its hard when you are hurting and it seems like no one notices. especially if you are scared of getting hurt if you appear vulnerable. I grew up with an abusive past so I know what its like to be scared to share. scared people will take any vulnerability and use it against you. The problem with this though is that often people just honestly dont see the pain that is on the inside. I understand being mad at your parents, they are supposed to be there no matter what right? but it may just be that they dont know. are they the kind of parents you can trust talking to? letting them know how you feel? and if not is there even one friend you would feel safe to confide in? I am still very timid to confide in people, there are only two people I feel safe telling anything too, but it took some letting go just to get that far. but it feels so good just to know that support is there. I am not saying to just trust anyone, it is good to be picky, but it is good to have just one person you feel safe with. If you dont think it can be your parents or one of your friends do you think you could talk to a councelor?

I know. how old are you?

I ask only becuase I am curious as to how old your friends are, sometimes people just arent equipped to deal with some issues. You said you didnt trust people because you were scared of getting hurt, did something happen to make you feel that way?

I am sorry it took me so long to respond, I was having some connection issues. what kind of stuff have you been through, is there anything you would feel comfortable to say here where it is anonymous?

sorry, I shouldnt have pried, I was only trying to help. if ever you do feel you want a friend to talk to I am here. and it doesnt have to be that, we can just talk about your favorite pizza toppings if you like. sometimes its just nice to have someone listen.

Are you still disappointed in the human race signmycast?

I know the feeling:( It is hard to be a part of this world sometimes. People will always eventually let you down. In return you will inevitably do the same. Learn to forgive, especially yourself. You are worth holding onto, don’t let go, I am holding your hand:)!
