Today I received an email from a friend. She has been visiting and communicating for a while now. She was told she does not have a mental illness and no longer wants to stay in touch!!!!!this seems to be the story of my life and I don't know why. I am always careful not to pour out my problem and try to,listen, but I always end up alone. I have been used and abused all my life, these seem to be the only people I attract. As I find it terribly hard to make friends this has hit me hard and driven me further into my cocoon. I feel hopeless.

Re: Guttered

It just goes on!! I had a second appointment with a new psych. Where do I start? My diagnosis of him is he's as mad as a fart, no care or understanding, no compassion. He couldn't get me out of his parlour fast enough, but I was keen to get out as fast as I could. There MUST be something seriously wrong with me, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. My social worker says I'm caring compassionate generous if that was right these things wouldn't keep happening. I am terrified of people. Scared to open my mouth, mostly I don't, I listen and listen and listen. Never had a voice. Abuse is the only thing I attract, family, husband, friends. There's no fool like an old fool. God now I have to face another day, how!!???the best thing I have is a tiny chihuahua who loves me to bits and the feeling is mutual. I rescued her from the pound, but she rescued me.
