I'm sorry to read you are struggling with feelings of abandonment.

I too have noticed people often don't get back to me, or at least not in a timely fashion. I think the whole situation has affected how we all relate to each other. People have often retreated into their own worlds. It isn't a measure of your worth, rather they themselves are preoccupied.

I myself have noticed I have retreated a little. It's that I feel I don't want too much closeness, perhaps because it actually takes a lot of energy to be positive and I feel like with others I ought to be positive and not bring them down. It's not because I don't care about others, or value them. It's easier to write here because it's anonymous and I feel I can be honest rather than trying to be positive when I'm not feeling it.

I hope writing here helps you too.

It will get better, it's rocky for many of us right now though. Take care.
