I’d moved to Australia just before Christmas in 2001. Beyond the people I’d started working with, I knew nobody as I settled into life in Sydney.  Australians are a pretty friendly bunch, but Christmas was a difficult time period for me to arrive – people naturally tend to withdraw to their close family and friend groups during this time. This left me as an outsider, which was very difficult to deal with.

I did some volunteering work for a Christmas Day lunch which was great, but then I ended up back at home alone again. Boxing Day was a beautiful day, so I decided to try and boost my mood by heading to the Botanical Gardens to read in the sunshine. When I got there, I couldn’t even bring myself to open the book, cause all I could see was people celebrating together while I was there alone.

It was a truly devastating feeling. I took myself off home to bed and didn’t get back out of bed for three days. I’d originally been diagnosed and treated for depression ten years before, so I knew what was happening, but that didn’t make it any easier to cope with.

I knew I needed help, but I didn’t have anyone to ask for help. I was lucky to find a great GP who helped me get on medication straight away and connected me with a psychologist who was extremely helpful. It was also at this time that I came across SANE while searching the internet for information and resources. The SANE website in particular was invaluable to me at that time, because it helped me understand what was happening to me and what I could do to help myself. It set me on the path to learning more and managing my recovery. SANE gave me facts, not fiction and sensationalism.

12 Songs You Were Probably Obsessed With If You Were a Millennial With Undiagnosed Depression
Growing up, there were certain songs that I had on repeat because they helped me feel seen. I wasn’t diagnosed with depression until my 20s, but looking back, I can see how song of the songs I was obsessed with went beyond the typical teenage feelings of being misunderstood — they spoke to something I couldn’t yet describe myself. Realizing this, I knew I couldn’t have been alone.

5 Practical Ways to Handle Loneliness When You Live With Depression
Last Saturday, I found myself in a rare situation: I was home alone (minus my cat). At first, I was excited to have some time to myself and planned to focus on some work I needed to do. However, as the hours ticked by, I started feeling more and more lonely. I missed my partner and my children, and the tasks I planned to accomplish started to feel like too much to handle. My thoughts began to spiral and I started settling into the all-too-familiar funk of loneliness.

How You Can Help Fight Loneliness in the Rare Disease Community
I believe the pandemic gave people across the globe a glimpse into the loneliness that is faced by many people in the rare disease and disabled communities. But just a glimpse. For some of us living in the world of the rare, we were OK when the pandemic hit. We already live with major safety precautions, seclusion, and navigating a world not at all designed for people who are rare, ill, and disabled. But that little glimpse of loneliness that so many felt over the past year and a half is what so many of us have lived daily for years on end and will continue to live for many years to come.

How I'm Coping With the Loneliness of Grief
My grandmom and my dad died less than two months apart during my senior year of college. Grief in itself causes loneliness. All of a sudden your world is spun upside down and you’re left feeling like you’re holding onto the edge of a cliff. The worst part of this is the feelings that come when you experience such grief at a young age. At the time I was 21, and while some of my friends had experienced the loss of a grandparent or a pet, I wasn’t quite at the age where people could understand the pain of losing someone like your parent. I was left with friends who didn’t know how to comfort me or what to say. And how could I expect them to?

This Common Feeling Is Also My Biggest Trigger for a Depressive Episode
Lately, I’ve been feeling pretty good about myself. Life has been unusually calm and stable. I just graduated from college so I’ve had that as a reason to celebrate. The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is lightening a bit (as of the writing of this article), and being fully vaccinated makes me feel safer to be outside. My medications are working and mental illnesses seem to be under control. But despite all of that, I can feel myself beginning to slip into a depressive episode, and I think I know exactly why.

I am currently in my apartment surrounded by the comfort of plants (two ferns, two fiddle leaf fig trees, two orchids and a succulent) and the undying love of my eight-month-old puppy—new editions to my home since the beginning of the pandemic. COVID-19 forced many people, including myself, to improvise and find new ways to ignite passion and happiness in their lives when forced to live a life indoors. A life without in-person interaction, support and community—basically the middle of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. A life alone, for many.
