Feel like my world has just got smaller and smaller and feel more and more invisible, unheard, unseen. How do you pull yourself out of that void to find some kind of meaning when you can't medicate a lack of connection, validation or isolation.

@lilyunsub I can only tell you what -sometimes- works for me.
I have no one to reach out to. I avoid adding to my wife's plate and my bestie, well let's just say she is not helpful in these situations. If I can muster the energy and will, I change everything about the moment. I go outside, regardless of weather, breathe slowly and make everything stop. I focus on one natural thing. It can be a flower, a tree, a bug. I try to think about what they're doing and why. Sorry for length. 1/2
@lilyunsub Then I imagine how that connects to the next thing and so on. I look at all the connections, all the way to me. Then I try to keep it going and see how I connect to everything and everyone else. Did I hold the door for someone and help their day? Did I help someone? Did I smile at someone? What could those things have done for others?
We're all connected and sometimes just getting myself to remember that changes my mood and outlook.
I hope it gets better for you. 💜
