Hi C and S,
I just want to say to you that I feel like I can totally relate. I definitely know feeling all alone. I try to reach out to "friends" and I often/mostly get nowhere. I currently feel like I'm sort of in crisis mode and have tried reaching out to several "friends", just to talk for a bit, and they don't respond. I can't even get in to see my new therapist for a week and a half. It can be really hard. One of my friends says that people don't respond when they think you're just going to be really negative and down in the dumps. Well, who are you supposed to turn to when you are feeling like that?!? That is what I'd like to know. I'd always thought that is what friends are for--I mean, obviously other things, but that is when they really become your friend! I've given up on many friends. They don't seem to have time for me, for fun or otherwise. So, yeah. You're not alone. I'm thinking I'd really like to find a support group. So will ask my therapist if she has any recommendations. Good luck to you, I'm here if you want to "talk".
