I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A/OR, FRIEND/FRIENDS, WHO I CAN TRUST, PLEASE?
I'm new, & I am very supportive of others, understanding, & kind. I hate strife & arguing, & I can not be around people that yell, or are controlling. I get anxious, & they make me feel afraid, or wanting to protect myself. I think I'm too soft hearted, yet I am intelligent & strong, unless I get fearful. I am very isolated due to physical pain, from an accident I had, years ago.....Does that make sense, I hope so?

Welcome @Former-Member,
Your worries sound a lot like mine. I also feel alone and find it hard to make friends. This is welcoming and open community, i'm sure you will find support here, as I have. What do you like to do for hobbies and things? I've never been great at hobbies, always too much work to do, and kids to look after. But i can crochet, I should try to start a new project 🙂

Nice to meet you kato, thank you for responding to my letter. I've been here at home on my own for 5 years. Pain has become a sort of unwanted friend, in a way, as well as the worst enemy to me, at this time. I need proper human friends, who care from the heart, just as I will for them. (((((kato))))) 🙂

Hello @Former-Member and welcome to the forums. Everyone on here that I've spoken to is very kind and friendly. I love chatting to people on here because I don't have to fear repercussions from being open about my MI. I can come here and say exactly what I want to say, where when I talk to people face to face I find I can't be as open.

Hey @Former-Member I reckon its awesome you say you're strong and kind. Its good to remember your qualities! Sounds like you'll make some terrific friends on here!
@Crazy_Bug_Lady I totally agree with you about being able to talk openly about MI on the forums. There's something really nice about it.
@Former-Member I am so hopeless at crochet! I think its becasue I am left handed. You should do some and post it on here! I just finished a quilt and I am so proud of it. It took lots of help and angst to get it done, but I'm rapt to have completed it!
@kato nice welcome kato! 🙂

Your more then welcome, bella
Altho i am not at home on my own, i am currently back in with my mum and dad while i sort out my last episode, i do understand the feeling lonely. I have bipolar and currently trying to pull myself out of a depressive lull.
Can i ask why you feel pain? feel free to not answer if you do not wish, i take no offence, if you are not quite up to discussing yet, i understand.
(((((bella)))))

You have a blue bird of happiness for your photo Lisajane. I'm smiling just here while I look at you, (blue bird). You have a happy heart, I believe this. Don't take too much on yourself, give yourself more ME time. I know it's hard with a growing family to help. When your Blue Bird shows through your smile, the family receive strength too. I like to make Jewelry, & spoil my animal family! (((((Lisajane)))) 🙂

I'm giggling at your name, so you like bugs hey? Some people eat them, how horrible. I think all humans are bit Cquazy, that's what makes us fun, sometimes, that is? I like frogs, & lizards, but they are not bugs? I like butterflies, are they bugs? Stigma among the human race, is disgusting!!!. People forget that, we are all made the same way. (Unless cloned) Horrible thought?? Hmmmmm. ((((((CRAZYBUGLADY)))))) 🙂
