Not too much, I just feel like I’m not good enough like a failure . I feel like whenever I need a friend they seem to be always “busy” I don’t matter anymore .

I felt the need to respond to your post and let you know that we all feel down at times. I think that is why it is so important that we enjoy the days we feel good and celebrate special occasions as much as possible. I agree with Justswimmimg, sometimes people are caught up in whatever they have going on but if they are your friends you should be able to talk to them and let them know how you are feeling. You are not a failure and you certainly do matter. Hope you are feeling better!

Hi Billy,

If you really feel like you are struggling with depression, have you been to a counselor or Dr to talk about how you are feeling?

That would be a good start.

After that, if you are up to it, I highly suggest looking into a support group.

I used to be shy most of my life and wasn't comfortable talking in groups but, when I started going to AL-ANON ACOA (Adult Children Of Alcoholics, or of any type of dysfunctional family), I was FINALLY able to come out of my shell!

Unfortunately, most of the ACOA groups in my area have closed.

I am now retired and I don't have friends that live close enough to me to do things with. I DO have one friend, that I met volunteering at a library, but she is busy a lot of the time.

I know that doesn't mean I don't matter. I do and so do you!

Please remember that! I didn't meet my husband until I was in my early 30's!

So don't give up hope! Mr Right IS out there, he just hasn't met you yet!

Keep coming back here. You matter to us!

Hugs,

MJ

hi Billy, you do matter. i find because if my own anxiety i dont talk with my friends or family as often as I should. i feel bad because I just realized I avoid my friends when they need me because it exacerbates my anxiety. so wrong i know. what im saying is everyone has thier own issues and sometimes its not you its them. everyone has life issues that make them unavailable at times. as for finding mr right hes out there. i believe in the saying good things come to those who wait. hes out there. there is someone for everyone (i know your thinking this girl is a dreamer, but i honestly believe this). your mr right is out there looking for you too and one day you'll run into each other when you least expect it. he might be someone you see every day or he sees you everyday but you two havent connected yet. i know im a dreamer. better to dream happy thoughts than to not dream at all i guess. good luck to you think positive and you will find him or he'll find you.

Not what you're looking for?
