I've been trying to reach out to people, friends, family, significant other... Everyone is just ignoring me.

I'm in a really bad place and my doctor and the hospital can't help, I'm so alone right now. I get admitted for a day or so and then I'm flung right back to being alone and uncared for.

All I want is for someone to say they love me, but they don't really care anyway. I dunno. Alcohol is my only friend at the moment. I just want it all to end.

I'm so sorry you are feeling unheard and that the medical community can't help. I'm afraid alcohol is not really your friend, it only adds to the loneliness and depression. We all want to pain to end, but keep going on faith that it will get better.

If you are reaching out when you have been drinking, this could be self-defeating. As gaylegg said, alcohol is not your friend. I am thinking a peer group (AA/other) might be helpful for you, a place you can say these things out loud to others who know what you are talking about and who are supportive but focused on getting healthier.((((hug))))

I agree with what the others have said. Would you be able to find an outside resource for when you leave the hospital? A support group of some sort so you can make friends who share similar issues? There are churches that have groups and other community resources. Reach out to your medical professionals for ideas if you need some. Please know that you are not alone in this world. There are many of us who feel alone and rejected, and the best way to fight this is to find others who want friends and support as much as you do. Reach out. We are here!

If the religious/spiritual stuff isn't for you there is a group called SMART recovery....they have resources, and meetings...

I can understand how you feel. I've gotten to a point in some of my relationships and friendships where I feel like no one gives a rats *** about me anymore.
