41/m starting counselling soon

false

I’ve always battled depression and anxiety. After dropping out of school years and years ago I lived a secluded life. Very introverted and never did or went anywhere. Spent multiple decades doing nothing and wasting my life away. I developed a relationship online with someone about 3 years ago as we began as friends and it developed into more and we had a long distance relationship.

Unfortunately this recently ended and after going all my life not knowing what love was and finding it. Having that for the time I knew her, it is now gone. She has met another and we are casual friends now for the most part.

Suffice to say I had hit rock bottom. I’ve had bad thoughts in the past and meeting her changed me, gave me hope and confidence I never thought possible. But shes gone now, we still talk but it’s not the same anymore. Admittedly those thoughts started creeping up again.

I have decided today during my doctors appointment to ask her about doing counselling because I can’t do this anymore. I can’t handle being who I am anymore. So she is going to call the clinic where I live and refer me to a councillor and I’m finally going to get help. I will likely start taking some kind of medication I assume and all I can do is hope something can change. I hope whatever happens this is the beginning of something new for me.

I don’t love myself, I can’t. But I felt someone love me for a short time and it was the most amazing feeling. I hope I can find it, I hope I can find a way to love myself and hope one day someone can love me again. I’ve never felt any sense of confidence in myself nor loved myself. Maybe somehow, with help, it’ll be possible.
