Am I really unlucky?
Profile says I've had a rough life, mental and physical abuse, names called out. Caring person,strong one too, but daughter's issues hurting a lot. Sometimes she says stuff that makes me feel useless, like no one cares.
I know I need to talk to the doctor, write it down cos I'll just cry if I try talking. Feels bad wasting doc's time with my life story.
Just me and my pets, feels so alone.

Don't stress about the doc, it's their job. Hope you find someone who can help.
Your post made me sad. You seem like a good person.
Stop talking to yourself negatively. It doesn't help. Be kind to yourself.
Hi, yeah, my doctor has been really great-very understanding, you know? It's just tough for me to open up aobut stuff that I've kept inside for around 30 years. I'm feeling pretty low lately and keep thinking it can't get worse but somehow it does. Then I worry if I'm being selfish since there are always people who have it much harder.
Thanks a lot, your advice was really helpful. I've tried to follow it, but even the smallest thing can make me feel awful again. Guess professional help might be my best bet.
Thanks for replying and hope you're doing well x
Don't let negative feelings guide you; transform them into positive ones. I consider myself one of the unluckiest people in the world-I've been widowed twice and have only my dog for companionship with very few friends. I accept this situation and create a world around it, where I have my own protective barrier. I choose who can enter my life and who cannot. At 68, I no longer rely on others for reassurance
It's tough because I feel so alone, ya know? Never tied the knot, never had marriage under my belt. Engaged twice, but it never worked out-nobody wanted that forever thing with me. Weirdly, felt more special back when I was just 15 and dating seriously for the first time.
I try to find silver linings, and yeah, I know there are worse things than feeling like this. But tomorrow's going to be rough, watching everyone else get their lovey-dovey moments while I'm left out in the cold. The only bright spot is seeing my daughter get all that attention-so at least she'll have a good day.
Sometimes I wonder if I wasted too much time waiting around for someone who was never gonna change. You can't get back those years, can you?
Hoping your little doggie makes you happy, and sorry to hear about the widow stuff twice over. That's gotta be tough.
