That has to be hard when you're there for your friends but they won't reciprocate when you need their emotional support. Sadness and anxiety can definitely distort reality. The cognitive effects of isolation on the brain can lead to trouble thinking clearly, processing your thoughts, making decisions, and trying to remember something.

Best thing to do when you feel overwhelmed is to reach out whether it's here or in real life to anyone you trust. In the past 6 months, when I've been uber stressed and rejected and shunned by my sister and other family members whom I went to for support, it's the members here at PC who've kept me from isolating. Thank god for PC.

Just keep posting. Go outside for a walk. Take a bath. Journal. Call someone who you know will answer your call. You are not alone. The PC community is here for you. They're here for everyone who needs support.
