I'm Feeling Empty

Quite recently, for the first time in a long time, everything was looking up.


I managed to get another job, this one was supposed to work around my anxiety, a promise made during my interview. I managed to obtain a friend and even got back into touch with two former friends. I felt like I was alive and not just living. Even as everything was being torn apart around me, I could smile occasionally because some aspects of my life were improving.

Of course it did not last. I managed to feel something for slightly more than two months. Then, ever so slowly, it started to fall apart. I lost the job due to my former employer failing to uphold his word. My anxiety came crashing back twice-fold. I lost both my new-found friend and my recently improving former friendships fell apart too.

I am being refused access to my neice and nephews, the very children I have been there for. The very children that have saved my life, genuinely and sincerely save my life. Apparently, the fact that they have been asking to see me doesn't matter... I am not important enough, or so I've been told.

So, here I am. Stuck, once more, between the same four walls. Alone. Unloved. Useless. Once again, I am here feeling empty and without the ability to see a future. Of course, I don't want to die... nor do I see the point in living. My life is without purpose, without desire or need.

There are times when I finally do feel something... but it's just loneliness and depression. I just... I don't feel like there's a point anymore.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I wish I had the magic advice to help you. I don't, but I can offer a listening ear for you.

@Dewkissedrose Thank you for the offer but I think, for today at least, I'd rather get my brooding out of the way. With any luck, eventually, I'll manage to spring back.

I want to say to you that everyting is going to be allright. But I don't want to lie. Depression isn't something you can just get over. But I want you to know that you as a person are just as valuable as we all are. The way to succes isn't always the easiest one.

@Tellica I'm aware that depression isn't something someone just gets over, I think there's just a childish innocence that has managed to persuade me that it isn't as bad as originally thought. Then, every so often, it hits me... just a cheap, sucker punch.

Why are you unable to see the children? That seems cruel...and I do understand your struggles.

It was decided that I wasn’t important enough to be allowed to see them. Unfortunately, it is just that simple.@JaggedLittlePill

@SW-User That is a terrible thing to do to the children and you. I am sorry.
SW-User
@JaggedLittlePill It’s alright, I just hope they understand it’s not my decision. I’d hate for them to think I was just abandoning them.
