Hi Turq
My therapist/psychologist doesn't take personal calls. My brother (my parents are both dead) won't deal with me because of my mental health issues...etc. I have no real friends at all ....... I have one sorta friend but she is 10 years younger than me and is a very very private person ..... so it would be hard to open up to her and trust her.......I don't want to scare her away........she doesn't know that I have Bipolar 1 and PTSD.
I feel awful because this person has invited me to parties/gatherings and to church, but I was unable to go either due to anxiety, medications (making me beyond sleepy), and mild social phobia.
Posting messages on PC has helped. I don't feel so alone. It helps to pass the time and gain some insight.
