hi, lately i have being feeling so empty. feeling so depressed. i lost my mum when i was 15 yrs, my brother lives with his new wife, so there are busy working. ! just feel so down . its horrible.
I’m so sorry you must feel quite lonely. Have you no friends ? Do you not work or have
something to occupy you? It takes a special kind of strength to see it through after a big
loss and i wish you find this together with acceptance so you can gradually try and help
deal with your depression . Perhaps arrange to go to your brother’s once a week or invite
them to yours? Best wishes
When you feel there is nobody around you start to feel so much more lonely and reading your situation its no wonder you feel depressed, you have been through a lot, however being depressed and thinking about your loneliness can make it all worse, It is difficult to motivate yourself but if you start by saying today i am going to get up and do some exercises (go online and find a video of an exercise class you can follow - easy or hard depending on your strength and mood) i promise after you have done something for you the day starts to look better, then look at what else you can do for you, reading a book, sorting out your clothes anything to give you a feel good feeling of achievement after. Then while your brother and his wife are busy at work you are busy too and when you all have free time you can meet up, also look at joining a group, meet with friends. Depression is awful but if you can see a way to get a plan in your life and do things for you it will make a difference. One thing i have learnt is the only person who can stop depression or anxiety is yourself, be strong, know you want to get over your current feelings and it will get better
