Questions on Depression
I been having feelings of loneliness/insecurity. I say this because its a feeling that I remember having as a child. I am 29 years old and this feeling I get is similar to what I felt as a child of wanting my mother to be with me all the time. I don't know exactly how to describe it but it makes me feel terrible to my stomach and its very intermittent. Its usually when I'm not feeling good. Kind of like when a child gets sick, the child wants his/her mother near by to cater to them. Does anyone know if this is a symptom of depression or something else? Maybe anxiety? Is depression intermittent? Some days I feel totally normal and then sometimes for brief moments I will get that terrible feeling.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

is your mom still living? I was a mothers girl I guess when I was younger you remember back to the good old days when your mom was there for you with that unconditional love. they would bring you just the right things. they knew their little girls and boys. nothing more important in life than a mother. my daddy was great to she would send him to the store. he would bring back a surprise. wow it would be nice to be a kid again. we need to have those wonderful memories. I am in severe depression. you might check with your doctor. sounds like you miss your mom. think of these thoughts as wonderful memories. you just brought back some precious memories from my mom and dad. they are both deceased. mandy876

A lot of us overcompensate with our lonliness and get involved in activities that don't allow for self reflection or clear thinking, things like hours and hours of gaming on the internet, or incessent shopping, or even continuous bar hopping and partying.
I was really lucky at your age to go on a camping trip to Montana to Glacier Park and camp in a tent. I woke up one morning at 4 am feeling totally alone and scared, what did I do, why was I here, what was I thinking, and I was panicked and went outside my tent to catch some fresh air. It was so quiet up there that all I did when I quit sobbing was to listen to the non noise of the forest. And then I heard birds, 1, 2 10 and soon they were singing with each other, and at 5 am I saw rabbits and a fox and squirrels
and at 6 am I saw the sun come up with all its beautiful colors just for me that morning and never ever felt lonely or alone again. We are never alone and that is true in the city as well as the forest.
I think if you google some of your words you will find some guidance in how to look at and become comfortable with being alone rather than feeling alone.
Good luck to you and please know that we do care very much
