...or they'll say that they can't give me "attention" right now

Like do they realize how hurtful it is when they send me messages like that?

And yet, they're the same ones that say they're THERE for me?

Smh.

And then I lash out and do my best to dissappear from their life until they "have time" for me.

But I always have time for someone.

I make that time.

Even if it's 2mns! I make it.

:( why is it so hard for others to do the same??

Sometimes I find that people just don't know the right things to say, or they worry about saying the wrong thing. They don't necessarily realise that you just want them to say something. Hope you're ok x

Yes it is a problem, sometimes it can be difficult for people around us to understand the needs of someone with Mental Health problems

Are you having treatment at this time ?

Sometimes people can look on Mental Health Matters as a sign of weakness, also because the condition can be all encompassing and that can also make people dry up and cannot meet your needs as we seem to become more needful and people become overwhelmed by your condition and needs.

What I do suggest is you go back to your GP and discuss your illness, I would hope assistance would be given with a course of CBT with a CPN who will help you come to terms with your problems and suggest ways to move on through your Life

We can listen and advise, although your GP can help you with a treatment plan

Good luck, we are always here, and can be PM if needed
