How do I love a normal life when it feels like everyone has someone but me,
I have a few friends but no family, all my friends have at least 1 family member they can turn to. I have no one and I just can't stop thinking about it, everytime family is mentioned I cry, everytime I need someone I cry.
How do you push forward!

Hello @Alaska123 and welcome to the forums. I can really relate to you, I have noone other than one friend in person and a few online. It's so hard when you've got noone to turn to, but I'm really glad you've found this space. You're never alone here ❤️.

Hi@Alaska123,
A lot of us on here have the same issue. Some of us have family but we still feel alone. I have family but I am estranged from them due to put downs, abuse and lies. I suffer from Cptsd and definitely feel alone. Maybe a lovely pet would be nice to keep you company or joining some sort of support group or a club in your area might help you build more friendships. I know it's not the same as an actual family member. Sending you many 🤗 hugs.
