I'm guilty of ignoring my good friends, not on purpose. I suffer from depression and I find it very hard to want to add anything to my schedule besides work and home. I have great friends but it seems they are the ones always asking me to hang out together. I'm sure a few of them are waiting to see how much time passes before I invite them to do something.
So you probably wouldn't want me for a friend. But on the good side of my friendships, I can make people have a good time and laugh their self silly. I cope with depression through humor.
I wish we all had one very special person in our life that would give us the love and understanding that we long for.I got a glimpse of what that would feel like with my T. I felt loved and cared about. But it's not a real relationship in the sense we can go hang out with them or have access to them whenever we'd like.
I know it is hard to feel so lonely, especially at this time of year. The holiday's seem to be a sad time for me. It reminds me of how much I long for and don't have in my life.
You have babble friends. We understand and don't want you to ever feel like you are alone. You are not alone here. Reach out and tell someone here when you need a hug, even though it's a cyber hug. I know I've felt a lot of support here during this past year and it's been a year I don't ever want to relive.Hugs
