Adhd+IBS+loneliness (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi everyone! This will be a bit long sorry.

First, Thank god for lemmy, I can finally share this. f**k reddit.

So... I'm an extremely introverted person, i don't have friends irl nor online. I've been fighting with ADHD since ever and didn't even know! I discovered that I have this disorder just a year ago. I knew that i have IBS aka irritable bowel syndrome. I can’t feel hungry becuz of it at all but It makes me very emotional and depressed. Adding ibs to adhd to loneliness is something only people who are dealing with knows how it feels, lately after falling in college and dropping out and feeling that my life is destroyed. My condition worsened, im fought to save myself and I managed to gain a skill and I'm working as freelancer. But loneliness is still there. I try to be patient i try to stop the tears but i can't take it anymore i cry a lot and i feel sometimes like my chest is crashing. Pls people like me what do you guys do in this situation? Plz help with whatever you know is helpful. I'll very appreciate it.

Hello, so for lonliness I would recommend going out, even by yourself. I've been in your situation as well, and I know we are all different people, but, going out really helped me. Take myself out for an early bird diner to avoid the crowds, go bowl a few games, sit in a park and read. My ibs is paired with my anxiety which is basically most of the time. Also, this might seem weird, but, they have found that talking to yourself, like in third person, obviously away from other people, activates parts of your brain similar to talking with a close friend and helps with lonliness.
