I'm not sure why I attract so many toxic friends. Most of my friends use me because they know I'm a person who will do anything for them. I really need friends that can understand what I'm going through and not focus on themselves so much that they ignore what I'm going through. I have one friend but I don't want to go to her all the time and dump all this on her. I know how that feels. I would just like to have friends that have an understanding of what it is like for me and not just say get over it.

Hi Maustin, I remember when I used to do that. I used to sleep in day almost the entire day and I would not shower or brush my teeth for long  periods of time. I now have to force myself to get out of bed . It feels better than staying in bed. Even if I am still in my pajamas I am out of bed and feel a bit better. I try to go out for a short walk and eat well and get no more than 10 hours of sleep at night.  I have good treatment team that takes good care of me. I take my medications and would never go off of them. I tried that once before and it was a disaster.  I also have anxiety with bi-polar disorder. Been dealing with it for 35 yrs. With anxiety I do not feel like going out much. I do go to church and I hang out with one friend to go to dinner once a month. I know it gets rough and it is a daily struggle but you rely on the people that are here on this site for support.

@CathyLarson840 I have been diagnosed with several mental problems.  I've been up and down the road.  Changing therapist and meds is so difficult!  I hear you and I want you to know that I have a wonderful ear and shoulder. I would be happy for us to help each other.  I think I sent u a friend request;  if i didn't please send me one. Im not to intelligent with technical stuff.. 😂

Hope to hear back from you!

God bless you

Lately I'm losing my mind with anxiety.  I have PTSD really bad. My days fade into each other, half the time, I can't even tell you what day of the week is, nevermind the date. Just looking for people to chat with
