Broken

I wasn't invited to Easter. There has been such a separation due to my mental illness. I moved back to my hometown. I have been trying to meet people but feel shunned. I need someone to talk to who cares and understands.

How awful that you weren't invited to Easter!! As if you weren't a person!! I'm so sorry to hear this and yet so angry I want to spit! I know that had to hurt you and I wish I could make it better. You definitely do not deserve that. You deserve so much better consideration.

I have been through some rejection...my brother-in-law was skittish about having me around his children...my niece and nephew...for babysitting...at first after a nervous breakdown. I don't blame him, though. The safety of his children were his responsibility. Eventually he was okay with me being around them when he saw I was okay. He has a sister with depression but she is separate from the rest of the family somehow and lives far from everyone else.

That hasn't been my only trouble, but most of the time I don't advertise my troubles and no one knows about my mental illnesses. That's a very nice way to avoid prejudice. I hope you can use this way in the future unless the place you have moved to is very small. How well known are you in this place you have just moved to?
