Feeling Unwanted?

I have not been active in iVillage boards for sometime due to lack of time. 


I've struggled with depression since college in my twenty's and beyond, mainly for factors that contribute to my mental state of mind.  Divorce, loss of numerous jobs, unable to attain love, etc. etc.  Lately I feel so unwanted... Since college I've been seeking pyschothearpy and was hospitalized in 2006 which I have been on meds since.  The meds have somewhat helped but I just feel so down and have a negative outlook.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so down. I often have the same feelings of being unlovable as I've had so many, many friends over the years for reasons they never seem to want/be able to/are kind enough to share. This week has been particularly bad for me, so I just wanted you to know I had read your post and can empathize.

If you can, please tell us more about what's going on. It might help us give you suggestions or it might help you to just "vent."

Either way, welcome back; don't be a stranger. =)

Hi! I know exactly how you feel. I've had depression since I've been in my teens. I'm also on meds and go to therapy. Sometimes life seems so difficult that I don't know if I can get through it, but I pray a lot and that helps. I am also divorced and don't have a boyfriend. I hate being alone. But knowing that others are going through the same thing does help me in that I'm not alone in that respect. But I am here for you and everyone else here and hope that helps you.

Loneliness and unwanted.
