I Need A Friend

[Deleted member 26920]

Just as the title states, I need a friend. A friend who not only knows what the heck is wrong with me, but can relate to my struggles. I feel so isolated and alone; I hate it. blah blah ~complaint sorry ugh

:( I am sorry you feel this way, for what it matters, I feel the same exact way in this very moment.

I have a few friends now. But I share when the person is able to be positive. I have two of them who have been there for me and supported me in darker times.

There are good people out there, who may not fully understand because they have not walked in your shoes.

I can relate to the wanting of a friend like that and the unbearable loneliness of not having good support.

I can relate. I have really good friends but when it comes to these type of issues they can not help or be there for me because when they try it's a disaster (they minimize and invalidate) and I end up feeling much worse.

Everyone needs a friend or need to have the feeling of some kind of support. It Ok to fee like that, we have the instinct to be around others. We are pack animals, the interaction and feeling to around others is inside of us. It look like this forum is pretty supportive and will be here to answer anything we have.

I need a friend who doesn't turn every trigger or flashback I have into centralising around THEM.

@MaltOMeal I pray your friend is soon there for you :hug:

After my emotional collapse two and a half years ago, I've been unable to have real friends. I did before, but with my emotions all over the place, it's just so hard.

I hope you find someone.

I have no idea how to how to make friends. I feel like a freak. Good luck to you finding one.

I feel like there is a speak to those of us going through trauma. PTSD affects an awful lot of things. Reactions, verbage, emotions, filters, lifestyle (therapy, not able to work, can't go to malls, out for walks etc). I have lost many good friends because they found it hard to deal with my re-incarnated persona. I hang out with healers and spiritual people and I find those who are 'real' at what they do are the most compassionate, accepting, well connected people who have helped a ton. It was so incredibly hard to put myself out there though.
