People who understand are so precious

Against_the_current profile image

I'm just thinking how important support is and how precious people who understand are. Recently everyone is telling me that i'm too much, a burden, to be more positive. Some people aren't even listening to me. The friend that i'm supporting called because she was on the way to the disco and wanted to talk with someone to not be afraid and the moment she saw her friends she hung up while i was talking. And that's okay but some things i heard about myself are just painful. I know i have issues but really i am trying, i'm going to therapy, i talked with a psychiatrist, i'm trying, i promise. Everyone is giving up on me. I have a lot going on, i know. I'm a mess, i know. But i'm living with it. And i'm sorry for it.

You shouldn’t have to apologize, sounds like your friends either don’t understand what you’re going thru or are just not very supportive. Don’t let that discourage you from finding the support you need. This site is a safe place to share and there are many who care.

Hi Real_MeI can relate to how hard it is hard to find true friends when you are struggling with your mood. My depressive disease talks to me and tells me that I’m not worth any one’s time and don’t bother to reach out. But I know it’s just the depression, so I keep reaching out anyway and trying to stay connected to life. I agree with what Brig57 said too, that we can be there for others because we know what it’s like to need a friend ❤️💕 hang in there
