Do You Have A Support Network Of Friends, Family Or Colleagues That Are There For You And You Can Turn To When Things Are Bad?
I was diagnosed with depression 14 years ago & itds pretty severe. As time has gone on i seem to have fewer and fewer friends and associstes. Making me more isolated snd alone. Its a vicious circle.
I make the effort. I'll go to the opening of an envelope if it means i can hang out with people.
I have always tried to be positive, helpful, supportive, productive and there doesnt seem to be anyone there for me, and i dont know if its me or my illness or both
Yes I do. I have the love and support of my kids even when they don't always understand me and think I'm irrational. I also have 2 very dear friends that keep me grounded. I actually found one on this site. She lives close and is so very much like me. Even though we have yet to meet, we talk...laugh... every day about our struggles and have developed a unique bond. I know we will have an amazing, long lasting friendship. I read the posts of others who are brave enough to leave their comfort zones and tell their stories here. They give me strength and courage to keep moving forward. Don't be afraid to reach out to someone you really connect with.
Same here Pieyedder, where is all the love from Family , friends that attended my engagement party ($200 people, $5000 for the party) then we separate and so do our friends even some of mine believe Luke's lies; including, mum, stepdad, family & friends as I left him as he was cheating on me in 7 1/2 yrs taking drugs and just down right lying to me ; who deserves to treat someone they love like this? I know I would never ever do any off the above and I'm the one who got the blame as apparently I cheated on him ( he still owes me half of the six million
$ we made together of which I saw $40,000 and now he lives next door to my mum and it drives me crazy so I moved to the other side of Australia, he still haunts me we split in August/ Sept 2008; the date we were to marry was August 2008 but I couldn't do it , my fault again ........ Anyways good riddance to him I
Worked in Conveyancing since I was 18 and have nothing to show for it; I live week by week struggling with the cost of living and medical costs due to being diagnosed with cancer last year; I struggle on but I do wonder why a lot of the time , cheers Kylie
Makes it worse when you need to see people, make tge effort to try to see people but theres nobody there
Me too, I don't mind my own company sometimes being an only child and all, a visit from a friend just once a week or month would b nice thou xx
Hope it all works out for us both
