Why is it that when someone is feeling down fed up , you help and support. When I feel like it myself , family friends not interested walk away and don’t want to know

Sorry Noffy16 that sums it up doesn't it, you're not the only one I'm afraid, I've been in that position many times.

Chin up and stay with us, we're always here to support you.

This is typical Noffy16 happens to me all the time so frustrating because we do need someone when it comes to us being down they vanish completley thats is true its because we are good sincere people who Will help anyone out but when we're in need only us are there for us it's times like that when you know who your real friends and family are unfortunately....Just remember when they need you don't waste your time and effort for someone who didn't give you the time of day when you need it...We are always here for you so you've come to the right place

I had no ideal that my family and the majority of my friends would ever abandon me like this. I have always been there for each and every one of them. I hate it, why is like this? I never in a million years thought my own mother would ever treat me the way she does now, I have supported her financially since my father died in 07, paying off our family home and buying her a brand new car, she has not had to worry about one single thing in over 10 years! I have been sick since December and she will do absolutely nothing to help me. If I need anything I have to take care of it myself even when I am vomiting uncontrollably. She is verbally abusive and does not care how hateful or hurtful she is to me, as I deserve it since she has had to care for my young daughters while I am vomiting (which can last for hours, leaving me physically exhausted

Hi Endlessnightmare

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way and it's unfair your mum isn't giving you the support you so need right now when your feeling so low and unwell you won't have the energy to do anything but sleep because everything we do is exhausting...I was the same with my daughter when I felt ill it it's a poor tale when you have no one to help you at your worst when you've helped them more than anyone..my therapist has said it's probably because they don't know how to help but in my own opinion you should always receive what you give but unfortunately not everyone is caring like us chick...here if you need a chat
