New Here! Feel Alone.

Hello everyone. First and foremost I am new to the site. ... I really do not know where to begin or what to say this is my first time ever trying a support group of any kind. ...

Well I guess really the only thing i know to say right now is that today is thanksgiving and that I once again have had a terrible holiday . I have never got along w/ my mother or my real father. (long story on both parts there they havent been there.) I saw my mother and it was a fight from the start so I left there crying. I went to see my real father only to find out that he skipped out to go be with his friends which he felt was more important after he wanted me to come and I did. So I cried some more. .

I feel so alone! I had friends that were close or so I thought but havent heard from them. My parents have never been there and still arent. I just want to feel like im something to someone and yet I'm nothing to everyone! Yeah .... happy thanksgiving to me!..

Everyone is important here, Rebecca. I am sorry your day was so disappointing. Please continue to post so we know how you are doing.

hi there, we might have different stories, but i do know we feel the same loneliness, the feel of wanted to be something to someone, but still nothing to everyone. i can relate to those kind of feelings..

((((((((((rsclutch))))))I know that virtual hugs don't make up for the hopes that didn't come true this TG, but welcome, and know that you are not alone with your pain. Huggs, dear.

Yes, you're not alone. Families can be rotten. Happy Thanksgiving.

You're not alone. I'm reaching out too. Sometimes things aren't right . . . . but maybe someone here can help you along the way. I've joined recently and learning the ropes, but Happy Thanksgiving to you

Welcome. You are not alone here.

Welcome to PC rsclutch22. I am sorry to hear your Thanksgiving was so unhappy for you. Many of us who have troubled families decide to make our own holidays - alone or with a friend/s. We make plans for what we enjoy, start our own traditions, plan meals we like. It's something you might want to consider. Glad you're here with us this holiday weekend.

Hello and welcome to PC rsclutch22! Holidays can be so lonesome, but they are simply another day. You are not alone .....keep posting and a big virtual hug to you! keep the faith! Tonih

Dear rsclutch ~ Welcome to PC! You will find friendship and support here, without a doubt. As was stated above, many, if not most, of us here have the same loneliness. Many of us are estranged from family or have lost family, and many of us have social anxiety which make establishing friendships more difficult. I am so sorry that you had a disappointing TG. I knew that I would be alone, so I just spent the day in bed, sleeping when I could. Sooner or later, we all lose our parents, whether it be by estrangement, [their] neglect, or in death. It is a strange experience, filled with dispair. However, by reaching out to others, as you have done in posting here, you will find friends to fill that void. Look for support groups or a therapist in your area as well. I would welcome PM messages from you! billieJ
