Low mood, emptiness and loneliness - Therapy with Mark

Why does being left out hurt so much?

Soft diagonal daylight falling across a warm beige wall

Nobody shuts me out, but nobody keeps a place for me.

Why does reaching my goals leave me feeling flat?

A small pot of white flowers below a wide patch of sunlight on a bare wall

I worked hard to get here, but arriving changed nothing.

Why do I cry so easily, even over nothing?

Tall wild grasses glowing amber in low evening sunlight, with a soft blurred hillside behind

Nothing is wrong today, but I can’t stop the tears.

Why do I feel so empty when nothing is wrong?

An empty woven basket sitting in a patch of warm sunlight on a stone floor

My life looks fine, but I can’t feel any of it.

Why is it so hard to ask for help when I’m struggling?

Golden evening sunlight through a lace curtain onto a cushioned sofa surrounded by large house plants

I want someone to know, but I keep telling everyone I’m fine.

Why do I feel so flat when my life is going fine?

A bunch of wildflowers in a yellow vase on a table, lit by warm sun in front of a pale linen curtain

Everyone thinks I am doing well, but inside everything has gone quiet.

Why am I lonely even with people around me?

White chrysanthemums in a dark mug on a bright windowsill

I have plenty of people around me, but no one really knows me.

What is the point of life when nothing moves me?

Daylight falling across a dark wooden table beside a window

I keep going for everyone else, but I cannot say why.
