do you feel invisible and unwanted

Bloody hell mate. Don't walk through a mall carrying a well, you'll do your back in. ☺️

Have you spoken to your doctor or a professional? Not giving you all the clichés here, you've probably already heard them, but you need some extra help to get your head sorted a bit. Life is terribly hard and sad at times and we all need a bit of a prop to get through it, whether it's meds or counselling etc.

You're not worthless btw. Unless you're Cliff Richard or Sam Smith or hurt animals? Then please don't see a doctor, carry on as you are.

Take care of you. 🌻
 
^^^^^ what RTM said. Phone your doctor. Now. If you are in that much distress there is an 800 number you can call.
In the meanwhile:
Move your body. Take a brisk walk. Dance in your living room. Get you heart beating.
Practice staying in the moment. Don’t think about tonight, tomorrow. Just be.
Practice gratitude. Name 3 things that you are thankful. It could be as simple as a good book, funny movie, favourite song.
And remember feelings don’t last forever.
 
If you are feeling as bad as it sounds that you may be feeling, call your local 0800 support line. Do it now. You won't regret it.
 
Don’t do yourself in because you feel worthless, you can always be helpful or even just kind to someone, even yourself. :)

A touch of kindness or even a smile can go a long way and it often attracts the same back to you.
 
Invisible is something I feel a lot IRL. It's due to age. I used to feel unwanted OL, but then I remembered the men I was talking to were a better fit for a blowup doll.
 
It sucks when your mind goes to thoughts like that. But it’s simply not true that anyone is completely unseen or unwanted. Sometimes it’s just a bad time for everyone around you. I’m sure if they knew how you are hurting they would surround you with love.

I agree with what others have said
Call a line where someone can talk to you
Check in with your doctor
Get some sun or fresh air
Exercise for endorphins
Do something you enjoy
 
I feel unwanted in my real life. I post here to have that sense of being wanted, but it's a false sense of want. Keeping that in check so my mind doesn't go crazy can be tough.

I agree with others here though. Call someone to talk with. Get outside. I have to remind myself of these things too so it's not terribly overwhelming.
This…I came here because I felt unseen irl. But this only fills that void to a certain point. Being here has caused more damage at times.

Seconded. I stepped back for a week, then made the mistake of posting with people I know are energy vampires. There's a lot of angry men here and it leaks through the keyboard.

As for the OP, I hear you but you've trodden on a few toes as well. If you're getting mood swings there are ways to mollify that and it would be worth checking it out - sometimes it can be a lifestyle thing. If you do nothing and 'put up with it because life's a bitch' Life will continue to be a bitch.

I'd like to point out that's the first time I've used the word mollify. J Austen would proffer her approbation.
 
I think I could walk through the mall carrying a, well I better not write that. Anyway I couldnt be more worthless. I want cancer, or to get into a head on collosion. when cars try to pass when they shouldnt i floor it. FTW
You are not invisible - don't do anything stupid. Instead of trying to seek help from strangers on an online forum - please reach out to a doctor/therapist/any family member you can trust/your pastor/any colleague or boss or mentor you can trust.
I have been in such phase and seen enough people go through as well. You won't believe how quickly you can realise your worth when you start working on something that interests you.

It's easy to be angry at someone who doesn't cherish his/her life, when you are fighting for your own. He's definitely struggling with an illness that is telling him lies. He is fighting for his life but doesn't know how to fight right now.

I wish you happiness and health.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced depression and/or severe melancholy to understand what is happening with the mind and thoughts of others who are in the throes of this type of disease.
At least you have a fairly straight forward and known quantity of treatment with chemo, radiation, and even surgery as options. Unfortunately no such straight forward options exist for those struggling with a mind that is not functioning the way it should. The treatments are often long, drawn out affairs of drug experimentation and counselling, often with many set-backs which may include psychiatric hospitalization. Not a good place to be.

Without diminishing the trouble you are experiencing, as Pink said: ”I wish you happiness and health”.
 
I know several people that have struggled with depression and mental illness and yes getting the medication right can take some time but you have to start somewhere.

Had anyone else noticed that the OP hasnt replied to their own thread, screams attention seeker to me.
