I don't know how to control my emotions any more; I just feel too much. It's hurting me.
I don't want this!!!

I just generally am feeling lonely and pointless.
Saw an ex- friend of mine who I thought I could be friends with again, and it seems not. Got jealous when I saw her interact with others.
I hate feeling alone.
I am so tearful. All my other "friends" are in other towns, and many ive never met face to face.

I remember that happened to me when I was in school That REALLY hurt. We had been friends since I'd been a little kid and all of a sudden we were in jr. high school and she wouldn't even talk to me. Boy that hurt.

When my husband died, ALL our friends dumped me! I have NO idea why either. Either they never liked me in the first place, and just put on a good show, or else a single woman in a couples only group isn't welcome. This is a small village and I've never seen ANY of them since.

It's no fun being friendless, is it. But if we BOTH try, I'm sure we can make some friends, don't you think? Put on a smile and hold your head up and just be friendly -- and you'll make some friends! God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Sometimes it's hard to make and keep good friends. People like us who have other issues find it hard to find someone who can relate to us. You just have to be your sweet self like Leed said, smile and be friendly. It can ha;;en. You are not alone here and we won't drop you.

I'm trying to work through similar feelings. I can assure you that you are not an idiot, you're just temporarily in a bad place. You are not alone! I've been trying to do something as simple as saying good morning, or hello to a random person at least once a day. It sounds, and can be, a little scary, but it helps me feel a little less lonely... Maybe it would help you?

It's a case of having to let the other person go...
I appreciate your support, because it is killing me right now

IwishIwasnotbroken has some good advice. Its been my experience that when you are down, no one wants to be around you and some people even like to kick you when you are down. It sucks that when you need people the most for depression help they aren't there and once you get a handle on it they return. A show of weakness...survival issues of our species...don't know. I guess thats why there are psychs to help us because our friends don't.
Thanks for this!

Well, it is important to remember that when other people seemingly ignore or abandon us it doesn't always mean that "we" are unworthy of having a friend.
If you consider how "you" struggle, you have to realize that other people also struggle. Often people distance simply because they themselves have an issue and withdraw because of it and it may have nothing to do with "your" quality or value as a person.

PC is just a sampling of the many voices of people who struggle, that "is" the human landscape as many people struggle with "self esteem". So it is important to make sure you don't keep being hard on yourself for being human.

I sometimes hate being human - purely from the emotions we feel

the good new is though, one can learn to live with extremes. Human species are amazingly survivalist.

I do really recommend Tom Wooton and his Bipolar Advantage. Yes, sometimes we have extreme emotions... but it's not impossible to learn to live with them.
