Something’s not right

Where?

Where?

Where have my so called friends gone?

Two, three weeks ago I had a few whom I could call or text, or even spend time with.

Lately everyone seems out of reach and unresponsive.

What's going on?

Hi @Kyle1

I've noticed you posting quite a bit in the last few days and things seem quite tough for you right now. I'm sorry that you've been struggling. I know you said you went to hospital but had to wait too long, which is really awful. I wondered if you would find it helpful to speak to someone at our drop-in counselling line (email, phone, or webchat). Here are the details https://www.sane.org/get-support/drop-in-service

Keep reaching out and let us know how you're going

Hey @Kyle1

I get the feeling you are having an off morning? You mention grief in your other threads, was there someone special in your life that you are now missing?

Re: Where?

@Kyle1, it's been feeling like that for me for a while. I think a part of me has given up trying to reach out to other people, so I suppose I am at fault too. I just don't want to burden other people if they have a lot going on in their lives. Here with you, sending you lots of hugs ❤️

Hi @Kyle1,

I hope you are okay, it would feel a little concerning if the people you usually reach out to seem to be out of reach/unresponsive. Maybe they have things going on their lives currently that may see them emotionally unavailable (just trying to think of reasons). I know when I have a lot of emotionally heavy stuff going on for myself I do retreat and don't always want to talk to others. When I do feel this way though I will text my friends and let them know exactly that. Having said that I know that not everyone would respond in that way. Some people do just go off the radar for a while without explanation.

Hopefully you will hear from them soon.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

Please do @Kyle1 , I think it's a good idea. You sound so down right now, I really feel for you.

Re: Where?

Yeah I inevitably end up discontinuing to reach out for the same reason: people I know have lives of their own, and I don't want to exploit friendships to the point of sinking them...

Thanks for the hugs, @creative_writer 🤗

Re: Where?

Yes, you're right @FloatingFeather ....

I do feel like a drowning person ... and a drowning person can he hazardous. Bring their supporters down with them...
