Have to say this is hard for me to say & there’s a reason I’ve selected to post anon.
I’ve had battles with depression in the past, I’ve always been an anxious person but at one time I got so bad I was suicidle, every day for months, it was pure hell.
I managed to dig myself out of that hole & have been slightly low but nowhere near that. Thing is I had a girlfriend to help me out of that & support me, we broke up in November but are still friends. I dealt with that not too badly it helped still being friends to be honest.
With this lockdown happening it’s awful for my anxiety as I don’t particularly like where I live, my neighbours are rude & noisy, plus it’s stopped me seeing people and I feel like I’ve lost my freedom.
I’ve tried to be strong but I feel like I’m slowly starting to crack, it’s also not helping that when I try to call my ex who is now a friend she always rushes me off the phone or doesn’t answer, I’ve tried telling her today that I was sorry for keep calling (when she finally answered) but that I really missed her and needed to speak to her as she knows about my anxiety/depression and will usually talk with me a bit but I can just feel that she is pulling away more and more, I don’t hear from her for days, I give her space and am usually ok but this lockdown is just really making me depressed and anxious and it’s why I reached out to her a bit more than usual because I am scared I’m heading down the same path which led me to become suicidle.
I can see the starting of it as I have no appetite, I can’t enjoy films or games, I just feel on edge most of the day, what upsets me is me & my friend said when we split we’d still always be there for each other, I meant it but I feel she doesn’t and wouldn’t be that bothered if I was out of her life and that hurts as I still care for her, before anybody says or thinks I still want to be in a relationship with her I can say 100% no I don’t as we grew apart and clashed in the end, I just want her as a friend but what can I do if someone just doesn’t seem that arsed anymore?
Last time I had her support to get me through tough times, this time I’m all alone and that scares me as I feel weaker by the day, this lockdown is destroying me.
Please help.
