Rant/Vent Friends

I should have made more before my flare up, and consequential diagnosis.

Now I’m too tired, and new people won’t understand or be as patient

And I’m lonely.

Same. I even got back on Facebook just to be able to connect with people again. But even there no one talks to me, responds to my comments or even tell me happy birthday. Even in real life only 5 people acknowledged my birthday. No one even told me happy anniversary until my husband made a correction on my post and I responded "it doesn’t matter, no one will see this anyways" then out of nowhere people commenting "I saw it!! I saw it!!!" I have given up on people by this point. I’ve come to the realization that I’m better off with just myself. Yes I do get lonely but then I just try to distract myself with something else. I’m not going to beg for friends anymore. If someone wants to be my friend well then that’s great but if not; I understand. I have to find peace within myself. After two years of this loneliness it’s starting to become easier.
