How do you get over the feeling

That you just want to hide from the world? When it seems your whole world is crashing down, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Re: How do you get over the feeling

  • :(  I'm sorry you are feeling that way.  For me, it has been time.  As much as that sucks, that feeling does go away.  That and having the support of family and friends, and a great therapist!

  • Therapy.  Time.  Sometimes forcing yourself to do things that will help with the depression (exercise, seeing friends, etc). 

    Sorry you're feeling that way, are you seeing someone about your feelings? 

  • Because no matter what happens the world keeps turning and you have to be a part of it. Take it one day at a time, if that's too much then take it one hour at a time. If you can make it through today, you can make it through tomorrow.

  • I met with a counselor yesterday for the first time. My next time to see her won't be until after Jan 4. (school break). Things are really coming to a head in my split with my husband. I have control issues, and feel helpless that I can't control what he thinks of me (of assumes what I have done). I hate that he and his family/friends think I have done some horrible things (that I have not done). These people have become my family too for the past 10 years. I hate this feeling. I hate feeling so alone and lost.

    Just hang on for the ride and try to pull yourself up as much as you can even though it is hard to do.  One thought that really helps me to repeat to myself "Nothing last forever" even the pain and sadness will go away.

    Therapy helps and ask for help by asking friends to spend time with you.

  • For me it was time and anxiety meds, therapy.  It's been about 5 months since my break up and I am just recently feeling a little better.  I still have my sad moments but they are getting less and less frequent.

  • I just usually throw myself into work or whatever else I can find to obsess over, do counseling/talk therapy with friends, and just wait for time to pass.

    Counseling helped me tremendously.  I also had to get to a point where I just had to give up trying to have control.  It was the best darn thing I could have ever done.  Acknowledging that the only person you have control over is you (and your little ones) is a powerful thing.  The people who matter know you are a good person and those who believe you are anything but, aren't worth your time.  Hang in there.  It sucks but you will get through this!
