I worked so hard after my accident to regain my physical. When I did - I looked around and saw that I had no people left in my life or much of a life. Anyone overcome something like this and create a new life. Here struggling and alone.

Gosh that sounds really sad, what kind of accident was it what happened to you?

They dont sound like very good friends to of left you at a really bad point in your life, think you deserve better friends and in time you will get them, could take time to rebuild but make a plan on places you could go to start rebuilding your life again, are you working?

good luck

I got divorced 9 years ago and lost most of my friends. I was successful at making new friends by getting involved with various activities that I like. I mostly used meetup.com to find group activities. Then about 2 years later I was diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease and lost a lot of friends. They could not understand, or didn't want to understand, that I have debilitating fatigue sometimes and can't do activities and some times have to cancel at the last minute. So, I had to start over again finding new friends who could deal with my illness. It's taken time, but I have a few close friends I can depend on now. It's very disheartening when you discover that your friends aren't really friends at all. I've just had to look for those special people who can handle dealing with my illness and be supportive.

Hi- So sorry to hear that you are struggling and alone.

A support group that you can meet in person can help you to feel encouraged, not feel alone and less lonely. Try to connect with your local church or community for groups available. When my mother was diagnosed with terminal disease, my life group played an important role in my life. My leader encouraged me by sending words of encouragement and that helped me to be stronger.

Please stay in the forum. I hope this site will be a blessing to you and you will feel the comfort you need. God bless, please update us.
