I Just Can`t Find My Place In This World

I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn`t get back to sleep.So here I am at 2:40 in the morning.I`m tired but my thoughts won`t let me rest.

I had a nice day today.My sister and my nephew and cousin came over and we had a nice time visiting.I also kept myself busy today by doing a few things that needed to be done around the house.So I guess it was one of my better days.But then comes the night and it all starts to go downhill and I feel the depression come on stronger and the distressing thoughts won`t leave me alone.It feels worse at night....but in never really goes away it is always present.

I see everyone around me moving on with their lives and I feel so left behind.Both of my sisters have their own families and their own stuff and I just feel so lonely.I do have my family and I am very grateful for that.I just feel like a total failure at life.My life feels so empty and meaningless.I can`t help feeling numb and empty inside sometimes.I just feel like I have this big,empty spaces in my heart and soul.Nothing has filled them yet.I have no prospects or hopes for companionship anymore.I don`t really seek the company of other people in my life(I do spend time with my family and I do enjoy that).I haven`t tried making friends because I`m so afraid of being rejected.Me having really no friends is really all my fault.I guess it`s like the saying goes nothing ventured nothing gained.I`m to afraid of getting hurt.I guess it`s probably low self esteem too.I don`t feel good enough for anyone or anything.When I look in the mirror I don`t like what I see.All I see are all my flaws and everything that`s wrong with me and I think to myself how can anybody possibly like you?I tell myself you are nothing and you are a piece of sh!t.I used to have ways to get this out of my head and release it but I just can`t bring myself to do it anymore.I already have too many scars.Now I just feels like it just goes around and around in my head with no way release it.I just don`t want to have to physically hurt myself to release it anymore.I guess now I`m trying to use my words to release it.

Most of all though I can`t seem to find where I belong or what I`m meant to do.I just don`t feel like I belong anywhere.

Words are a better release than the other stuff. I would call that progress, Tibby.

Speaking of low low self-esteem, I'm going through a self-help book that's really good for that. It is really, really difficult. I can only manage about five pages at a time. I can't even read the damn thing in public. It's that difficult. So much crying lol. But reading it and doing the accompanying exercises has been helping me clear up some of my thinking. Especially the automatic negative thinking I do. And how so much of that low self-esteem (LSE) is to do with my upbringing. Anyhow. If you would like me to send it along to you, send me a PM or something.

I don't belong anywhere either. There isn't a good club for queer halfbreed vegans in their mid30s in Arizona, believe it or not.

I don't know if this helps at all, but I think you have insight into your problems. I don't think your problems are as much your fault as you think them to be. I'm not saying you should start laying blame necessarily. Perhaps frame the situation differently? I don't know. I am only one very small retired churchlady. Also, having insight is one thing. I have tons of insight as well. Acting upon it that insight is another thing entirely. I am afraid to act on some of my insights. Or, at present, I lack the financial means to do so.

That's all for now. Hope you're getting some quality rest.
