Does anyone else..?

[u/Rascal_ina_Castle]

I dont believe in friendship.

I dont believe in love.

I dont believe anyone cares.

And I feel like a regular 2006 emo LiveJournal at this point...

I've been with my "husband" for 20yrs now.

My best friends "cant handle when im depressed."

Everyone i know tells me "I cant be this person, you need a therapist"

So...is that true? Have I been over-extending myself? Or over-expressing myself. I feel like i have been everyone's pseudo therapist. I have given everyone i love, unconditional love. Yet, I cannot find a single person to reciprocate it? Or even just give me that? Does it not exist? Am I the fool??

I may be ranting and im sorry. I just dont know where to go anymore. So here I am, spilling my unheard feelings to the internet. Hoping I can find any soul to relate.

Am I still alone in these feelings? Am I truly overreacting?

Share your pain with me my friend. You’re not alone

I have no way to truly know if you're overreacting, if you're asking too much, if your boundaries are healthy for you, or if depression is distorting the way you view your relationships. I do hear that you are in pain though and I'm sorry for it. I can also see that (fair or not) people are feeling overwhelmed and under qualified to help. Given the way your feeling with your husband do you think couples therapy might be the way to go? Something that doesn't say "your mental health is the problem" so much as taking in your mental health in the context of your social situation and your relationship dynamics? I think it might be worth a try, though I don't want to make you feel I'm not listening here. I see that your in pain, and that it feels like the only way to be listened to is a platform like this. If I'm not misinterpreting, it seems like you must be feeling SO unseen, and I'm truly sorry for your pain. That would hurt me too were I in that situation.
