Have you ever felt isolated?...From everyone and everything...and can't snap out of it...What do you do?

You have made a good start already.You came here,it will take a little time and confidence.But there are lots of friends to be made and everyone has been isolated in the past.
Make the first step and add some details about you and yours and see what happens.

And before I forget myself. Welcome to, as Ty's mom puts it 'The biggest Dysfunctional family in the world' feel free to ask advicer and advise if you can add to a post with your thoughts or experiences.We are all friends.

Regards,

Mark

I have been there and felt that way. The first thing to do is see a professional and discuss a course of treatment. I was put on Buspar, and it helped even out my moods.

I do say that we are the world's biggest dysfunctional family, but I say it w/great pride because I'm a part of that family. This site has given me laughter, tears and food for thought. The people on here are fantastic, even the ones I disagree w/most of the time. We all support each other in the hard times and pat each other's backs during the good.

I wish that I could help more, but w/o more details, I don't know what else to say! Please don't feel hopeless and isolated. It will get better from here. We would be happy to listen. Sometimes putting the feelings into words and getting them out there helps. It has me! Good luck and I hope to see you around!

I have been raising my challenging 8 year old boy...We have suffered in many ways due to his part-time\not so smart father...He is a convicted felon twice and just finished serving his time about 8 months ago for domestic violence against myself. He abused, cheated, threatened, stalked, violated numerous times...
I'm not the stupid type... excuse my language...I don't want to offend anyone...that stays with a creep like that...Unfortunatley I have his son and in alot of ways financially, emotionally, being involved he has been. Its been about 5 years since we were together...he now has another girlfriend and she has a terrible mean 2 yr old...I am now dealing with the fact that they get mad at my son because he doesn't want to play with the boy...Whenever there is an issue with my son and I try to talk or scream at his dad...nothing positive comes from his mouth exept threats well you know what threats get you put in jail also...so I went and filed my 6 protection order against him...Now they have went to file one against me...I left message w\ his girlfriend stating she better be very careful...to get a protection order against me I would have had to threaten, assalt, attack or harrass her which I have done none and that would be lieing to the district court...so I haven't heard anything yet but I'm anxious to see what they're concoction is for 3 incidences of untolerable behavior I have done to them...They will be in so much trouble for lieing...but how do I prove that?

rjmjrs,
I may not have much to offer other than I would be very careful not to attempt contacting his girlfriend with any messages concerning this. Just you leaving an innocent message could be blown out of proportion by her and she would have phone records or whatever to show that contact. Then it's your word against there's on that. And it might just be anyway when those go to court. But perhaps with his past record, particularly the previous protection orders that should hopefully hold some weight to back up your side.

Hi RJMJRS I am new too. I also get the feeling of being isolated. What helps me some is to get involved with programs in my area with my kids. We go to church, sports, and all sorts of fun functions together. Most areas have some type of notification of activities going on in the area, and a lot of them are free or very inexpensive. Your library may have info. for you. It helps me get out with people and bond with my kids.
You are never truely alone.
