Ever since I had to retire because of my health I feel noone cares , I don't hear anything from work or my colleagues who I thought was my friend, my brothers don't even ask how things are going, my sons who are special needs don’t understand anything I tell them ,I don’t have friends so all but my wife I'm all alone. I so need to talk to someone who understands me and what I'm going through but I'm asking a lot, I still feel like going for a walk but not turning back I want to just keep walking.
Does anyone else feel the same way .

I was once told that I would grieve over my former life. I was medically retired too.
It's easy to feel that people don't care about your woes but they do. But, like when you're grieving a loved one, they don't always remember what you're going through. They are, of course, wrapped up in their own lives. As we all are.
Could you find someone else to talk through your health problems? I have MS and found the MS nurse to be a godsend for discussing the things I couldn't, satisfactorily, with my friends and family. It left me free to be a friend and partner/auntie/daughter to those around me. Well, made it easier anyway. Getting the balance right in anything is a blooming art, isn't it??!
I hope you find the outlet for your feelings that you need. Please forgive those around you who don't, or can't, understand. If you could get the understanding that you need then the pressure would be relieved and your personal relationships could resume with less pressure.
I care! I had to stop work early due to mental health issues. I have no one but my boyfriend and my parents. I am so glad I have connected with people here who understand. You truly are not alone.
Mostly my childhood days ,things I can't get my head around, and everything that's going on in my head and thd visions I see on a regular basis. It's difficult for me even to think straight.
At the moment I'm feeling very low and think the only way around this is by talking face to face , I've got a very short fush at the moment, I tried talking to my mother the weekend but just as I thought couldn't remember anything with her dementia. I've lived with this for 52 years and it Hunts me on a daily basis even if I see something on the Television it brings back memories.
I have never spoken about my childhood days just lived with it in my thoughts constantly.
