"I've promised my friends to not write negative stuff on Facebook. Safe on here as no one noticed when I posted b4. I should be happy got good job great son house and health. Just feel like shit so low and filled with negativity. Missing ex love ones and failing to move on so lonely. Stuck in such a rut. Don't know what or how to change. Feel like can't talk to people as they think I should be happy . "If you're feeling unhappy and you are feeling lonely it can be really hard to see a way out. For me it was spending time on myself, doing things I like, forgiving myself for anything I'd beat myself up about and realising that chewing myself up about things that had already happened was a waste of energy and worrying about stuff that hadn't happened yet was also no use to me. It isn't a cliché to love yourself. It takes lots of time to get things to a good place. I think the advice to see your doctor is good, you should also just let yourself feel the way you feel without guilt too. Zen hugs. | |||

"It might be time to talk to your GP rather than random strangers in the forums. Take heart though, the future isn’t written and I hope there are bright days ahead for you. " Yea I don’t think fab will make you feel better. Go speak to someone like a GP. Fab will be a challenge for another day. | |||

Celebrate the small steps, because when you are low, they are actually big achievements. Sending hugs. Life can be shit. But it doesn’t stay that way. | |||

Though sometimes the randomness of talking to strangers is easy and reflects your thoughts back at you in a way that can ho you change x | |||

You are not alone. Most people you think are happy and seem to have perfect lives don't, they just put on a good front and only post the shiny happy pix on FaceTube. As others have said consider talking to your doctor also. Hug of support to you. | |||

There's text/ talk services like Samaritans or Give Us A Shout so if you need to talk about feeling crap you can tell them.
Hope you feel better. X | |||

Feel like can't talk to people as they think I should be happy . "How long since you split up with the ex? It takes time, it took me years to get over my ex wife, 7 years later and I still get tugs on the heart strings every time I see her. Just live day to day and it does get easier. After a couple of years I could see my ex with other men and not get upset but I still wouldn’t like it. I just concentrate on work and bringing up my kids in a stable environment where the ex saw fit to introduce a string of men to our kids as soon as she met them. 7 years on and about 10 men later she’s not happy at all. I’m still on my own but I’m happy, I know I’ll find the right girl for me but I don’t really look for her, it’ll happen when I least expect it and the same goes for you. Just live your life for you and your son and it’ll all fall into place in time. Try not to dwell on your ex, what she’s up to etc or the history you had with her. Every time she pops into your head just imagine locking her in a box and put her in a cupboard and lock the door. It works, eventually you’ll stop thinking of her. It’s hard, but time does heal everything. | |||

Look for self help resources from organisations like Mind. Fab is generally not a good place for mental health. Take care of yourself. | |||

"I actually decided to do my bike test after the ex left, she never allow me to do it in fear of losing me so a year or so later I bought a bike and did my tests. Obviously you already ride a bike but maybe do something for yourself that you’ve always wanted to do and will take up some of your time, energy and focus. What bike do you ride btw? | |||

It sounds like contrived bullshit but things DO get better (I always though that was nonsense, but having recently been depressed to the point of suicidal ideation, things do get better, but you have to ask for help) Inbox me if you want to talk *hugs* | |||

"Every time she pops into your head just imagine locking her in a box and put her in a cupboard and lock the door. It works, eventually you’ll stop thinking of her. It’s hard, but time does heal everything. " Locking feelings away aren’t usually the best way of dealing with stuff, just because it’s locked away doesn’t mean it’s never coming back. It generally means it’ll come back when it gets triggered. Get some mental health help for actually dealing with it so that when the trigger happens, it doesn’t hurt you so much. The most important thing is to get help, Facebook “friends” who’ve told you not to write anything negative aren’t helping you. You need to know the difference between going over problems to work them out (a good thing) and churning them around in your mind making it worse (a bad thing) | |||

It will hurt, it might be awful, you do need to take extra care of yourself as you're doing it, but this is the best long term strategy for distressing thoughts. | |||
