Friends

I’m starting to really hate people. Most of my friends abandoned me because they either don’t know what it’s like to live with anxiety and depression or they don’t wanna deal with my issues. It makes me angry and feel hurt

Friends? Are they really your friends? I'm feel your hurt and no they dont have a clue on how we are feeling unless their on our shoes, the one that don't even call you to see how you're feeling are not a friend, this is a good site to vent or just simply talk to someone, it's 7 million people that's suffering with anxiety and Depression, you are not alone, go online and go to The Anxiety Guy and a book called Hope And Help For Your Nerves by Dr. Claire Weekes and don't forget to pray 💜🙏

Remember friends are not therapists- they have their own lives. Still, I think a real friend does check in on someone and extends beyond the good times. Even friends are limited though. If you are in the USA, try NAMI for a support group.

Hi Cat to be honest my experience is that few people understand unless they have been there. It doesn't mean they don't care but they just don't know how to help you. Caring about someone and not being able to help is very frustrating so maybe this is part of the reason behind it. It's probably because they don't know how to deal with it rather than won't. If for example you had a friend with say thyroid disease would you understand and know how to help them?

Also don't forget everyone deals with crap in their lives and not everyone can be there for others a lot of the time. x

Don’t rely on friends hun.. if you need real help get some from a professional xx I’m saying this from experience.. it’s heartbreaking when they’re not there for you especially at your lowest so I understand how it feels .

Lots of caring people here to listen to you so message any time xx take care
