Who do you have in your life?

QuietCat · Oct 18, 2012, 01:10 PM

I have my mother and that's it. I have co-workers I associate with but I wouldn't call them close friends.

It sort of annoys me when Pdoc (who doesn't know me as well as T) asks me things like, "what did you do this weekend? Hang out with any friends?" and I have to remind him, "I have no friends."

I have my partner , 2 grown kids, a son in law and 3 grandchildren... as well as my partners extended family... but it all hinges on partner.... without her I would have nothing.

My significant other is a bird. The cat is too affectionate plus anger management issues. No other I would trust to say very much to.

I have a child, a stepchild, three brothers, two sister-in-laws, and three nieces - all that I am extremely close to. My dad and mom (love them, but they are why I'm in therapy), and a handful of close friends, and many acquaintances.

Well I hope we are still doing this. I have my new current T and a T from along time ago that I still keep in touch with. It has been a lot of years and she is still there whenever I need her.

I have a boyfriend of 5 years and my family, but no friends. It would be nice to have some but I am thankful that I have who I do.

I have my husband and my best friend who lives down the street from me. On top of my MI issues I'm introverted and highly sensitive, which makes meeting people very uncomfortable.

I have no one except my T. I have alot of issues. My H and I have issues. No one knows my issues. No one knows our issues. I feel like I would be a burden on others if they knew what is really going on. That burden would make me feel even worse. So this really is the best way in my eyes.

I have my husband, My kids don't know anything about my mental health as I don't think it's fair on them.

If only some people understood about these things.

My husband (though he doesn't try to understand me), my children, grandchildren, and friends.
