Needing To Meet/talk With Others For Support

[Jaybird3939]

Hi,
My name is Janine. I'm 47 and endured a really awful incident of violent crime when I was 15. Things have happened the last couple of years that I regret what I did, but I also felt the support of "friends" dry up, along with them telling me "you need to just get over it" & they do know most of the details of my past, but as so many others, don't, can't or just won't want to realize that this affected every part of my life & I can't pretend otherwise. At pretty much the 2nd lowest point in my life, these people I'd known for over 20 years dropped me off at my doorstep & I never heard from them again. I guess I'm looking for people who can support without feeling the need to tell me how I must live my life or it's so long for any kind of friendship. Anyone who wants to correspond is appreciated for taking the time. I wish all of you the best & hope things are tolerable soon.

Hi and Welcome!

Thanks so much to all of you for taking the time to write a note. I was feeling pretty down last night, and finally gave in to the thought I'd had many times about checking out support on line. Unfortunately, I work for the medical community in a small town, so going to therapy can be tricky (not wanting to reveal names of bosses, etc). Being single & living alone, I have to admit I sometimes just want some interaction with people that isn't work related or superficial. Thank you again & I hope all of you have a peaceful Sunday.
