Hi,
I don't have any friends which is probably my own doing as I don't feel worthy and also feel they would not understand me. My only 2 friends who are a couple live a few hrs away from me and both suffer like we do. I seem to take everything people say to heart and end up feeling worse. We all need someone to understand us and that we can talk to so makes it very hard when they don't and leads to them dropping out of our lives. I understand how you feel and have been through the same thing. Remember you are special and if your friends don't understand you it is not your fault.

Hi @KU777 and @Heavenbound, It is nice to meet you. 
I am extremely socially isolated. Since the 23rd of December I've had the sum total of 90 minutes of human contact, all with professionals. I don't have any family or friends.
I have BPD (and I just read on another thread that you do too @Heavenbound ), which is significantly complicated by the fact I also have Asperger's syndrome. So...basically no one here in the real world can stand being around me. However, I seem to connect a bit better in the virtual world. I super hope you can both feel well supported here in Forum Land and that it can make up a little bit for the lack of social support in the offline world.

@KU777
Yes, I loved my job & did it for many years, I could go back anytime I was told. I am not recovered overall as yet to go back. I hope & pray that I can in the future?
My meaning of hugs- someone who loves me who would love to be my best friend, & hug me. I suppose any hug would be start, hey?
No body in my life at the moment, to hug & be hugged. Cyber hugs are good anyway!
(((((((((KU777)))))))))
Love.
Bella 🙂
