Losing close friends because of my "situation"

Hi everyone,

I have lost the support of a lot of my friends since January, when "this" all started...it makes me very sad and confused.

It makes it hard for me to understand because none of this was my fault in the first place. I was abused by someone, it destroyed my family and who I used to be...

And now I am finding that while others are supportive, they are "losing patience"...

I was always the strong one, the one who was "pre-med", the one who was going to school to be a therapist...

Now that it is me, everyone is running away....fast. Esp. my "friends" in the field...I feel like an outcast in every way imaginable...

I always thought if the worst happened, I could figure it out, but this is really hard. I am sure a lot of it is just me but it feels like an impossible situation.

In my opinion you can only count on yourself to get yourself through something. While you may enlist others help (therapist, etc) I think you have to realize it's only to help you get back on your feet - so you can eventually take care of yourself again.

I'm sorry you're losing those close to you, and that you feel alone in all of this, but just know that we are here for you! It may not feel like a lot, but when you've got nothing, the smallest things count. Sometimes other people have their own problems and issues and feel like they 'cant be bothered' with others...those people will feel the wrath of Karma pretty soon.

Good luck in all you are going through, remember to pick yourself up for yourself, and that we're here for anything you need.

(((yack)))) I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I don't know if this is the time to share how everyone left me because they "can't live with MY disability." But later I will, if you wish... just know that it happens... and you go on... because you are strong (even when you don't feel it.) TC

(((((((((((((yack)))))))))))))))) i'm sorry.
