Topic	How do you stop feeling worthless?
Alteres 07/16/20 9:49:26 AM #11:	I can connect with the idealized version of me part. People are always so excited to see me if I haven't seen them in awhile. I can never understand it or get why. I always wonder if they are faking it or if they have some weird version of me in my head. I asked my ex and my family about it a couple times, the only people I felt comfortable being open about it with. Their answers just confused me. As to the sucking hole in your chest, I had that a couple years ago. After that ex I was with for ten years and I broke up. Every day just felt meaningless, and all my energy just vanished, drained away into that pit. It really did feel like a sucking void in my chest. It went away eventually, but it took almost two years. The situation I was in health wise just kept perpetuating the feeling. I don't really have a lot of useful tips or advice. I just read a lot of books, and played a lot of games to pass the time. The books helped more, it was rare to find a game I found engaging. Hell, I don't know what to say. Most everything people said to me just seemed like bullshit and didn't really help, and I had a good therapist even. Just being around friendly people that had a good outlook on life was probably helpful. I went to AA and NA groups and the people there were very nice and helped me. Generally not useful advice for most people, I know. It's hard to find groups like that in normal life. Hell, on that note, the guys advice about church might not be a bad idea. If it's not one of the big organized denominations where everything is by rote. Not for the religion really, but just for the people. I remember my church as a kid being like that. That ended up being pretty long, and I don't know if it was worth much. I hope you feel better even if it takes time. --- ........the ghost in the machine...
