Depression

4 years ago•4 Replies

Hey, I’m going through a hard time lately and have had bad thoughts. I recently came to the conclusion that my friends weren’t really my friends cause they ignored for weeks on end. It just feels like nothings going my way and I’m kinda done.

I don't want to sound like a worn out cliché, but it will get better. I went through the same thing with people I thought were friends but ended up getting backstabbed every time. It does suck having no friends now but at least I dont have that worry anymore. All I can tell you is just have hope you'll find good friends out there

I know exactly how you feel. My best friend deserted me when I needed her the most. But it was the people who I least expected who came to help me in the end. It takes time to figure out who those people are, but it will happen. Try to keep your head up and don't lose hope. Things do get better and you will meet better people.

I’m going through the EXACT same thing. My friends abandoned me for weeks, purposefully excluded me from stuff, but when I tried talking to them, they all said that they love me and want to be around me. Today, I gave up and told them all that I just don’t want to be around them anymore. It made me feel good that I was the one controlling the relationship, not them. As much as it hurts me to be lonely, they were my only friends, I feel better that I was in control of the situation. Not them.

It's hard. Friends are supposed to be there when you need support, but that sort of friend seems to be quite rare. I have been sort of "ghosting" some my friends because of the urge to isolate myself and I am not comfortable talking about my mental health with them. And since mental health is like the only thing going on with me right now, what would there be to talk about?

However, as someone else has mentioned, you might be surprised by finding friendship where you weren't expecting to. I have been. Don't give up, there are still good friends out there for the making.
