Just sitting here, watching garbage TV

[XanaDUer2]

I feel alone. I'm not going to reach out via text to relatives bc I'm feeling lonely. My 32k jaw work the dentist who caused the problem...is spasming. But. My jaw is fine according to him.

Feel like everything and everyone I thought I knew was just an illusion filtered through my crazy brain. Ppl don't care about you like you thought they did! Finally! Got it.

DU, basically, you're my mainstay. There are more sane, kind ppl on DU thank God than my real life. Wish I could hug you all. X

3. Yes, keep in touch with your fellow humans here. We do care.

[XanaDUer2]

5. You guys are it

I met two ppl on here I talk to. Theyre nicer to me than family.

4. I'm trying to train myself

To stop reaching out when lonely or anxious.

6. Why should you try to stop yourself from reaching out for support?

That’s what groups are for, the good times and the bad. If you reach out for support it makes it easier for someone else to do the same when they need support.

8. Long story short

Reaching out not on DU, results in me being emotionally beaten up. I'm almost mute at this point. Some family shit went down. My sister is abusive

[Biophilic]

9. Ok, now I understand. Families can be dangerous to our mental health.

10. My half sister is an abusive psycho nt

11. Best to avoid her then. Good for you.

Hope your e doing well

7. Just know there are kindred spirits out there

Many who feel the same way as you. We have to reach out to each other to remind ourselves. Hang in there.

14. Reality check me here

I mean it. Maybe I'm being nuts. If you visit someone 'close' to you on their bday every year, and you don't want to... could you pop them a text telling them some bullshit that you're sick or busy etc ? I would have

15. One has to care about being a human to behave like that. (n/t)
