...See more In life you meet a lot of people where some of them makes you feel close to them, but for a short time. While i was small, I used to have lot of friends. We used to play all the time and we felt we were inseperarable. We used to wait for each other in the bus stop and we felt that this bond remains same forever. As I grew older, forever is just a myth . When my friends shifted their priorities , they began to replace our friendship. Today when we go to the same bus stop, we would behave like known strangers. Different time, different mindset and same place. It's not their fault. Some people come into our life for a limited time frame and leave us footprints deeply engraved in our heart. While some of them breaks our spirits and take a part of us when they leave. I remember as I grew older, when my close friends stop making time for our frindship, I would chase behind them for that familiarity, only to end up being a placeholder in their life. I remember crying all the time. Some of them hurted me at last knowing that i am the most sensitive and naive soul. One thing what our heart find difficult to accept is that " people change and its not in our control". You don't need to have lot of friends in your life. Even a friend who is utmost true and genuine to you matters a lot in today's world. You don't need to talk to them everyday. Their presence make you feel home .Today I am alone and lonely and today I want to share all my love and care to all my friends and family in this app. How was friendship mean to you?

Too sick to start a family?
by adaptivePoetry8351

...See more At 36 years old, all of my peers except those that choose to be child-free, have started their families. But what about me? Am I too unstable to raise kids? My last partner left because my mental health symptoms did not improve while we were together, and I haven't met anyone new who is both single and my age in years. I've tried. It feels like my symptoms have stalled my life out, but in reality, I'm still getting older and more lonely all the time. It feels like I'm not allowed to play life with the other adults, and I don't know what's wrong with me, and why I'm excluded. I didn't have trouble getting dates when I was younger, so I never really worried about feeling lonely. I always imagined that I'd have someone. But now my life is passing by, and I'm just living to get through the next day. There's no joy. There's nothing to build, grow, or look forward to. I'm just here with my symptoms that get worse by the year.

Help getting over a narcissist

...See more I finally had the courage to one day 3 weeks ago at 5.30am to tell my now ex we was over, met him 3 years ago, totally love bombed and gaslighted me, I didn't no at the time he was a crack cocaine user, the first 2 years he lied, slept with 5 other woman( all on crack cocaine) and each time I believed he would change, he stole and sold my medication, stole money, again I kept thinking he cld change, he did go into a rehab facility in jan 24 and at that point I was done as he'd finally left the area I could try rebuild my life, he tried to contact me ,I'd reply saying I was at work etc, but after about month I thought maybe he is going to change, we talked for hours every night and all the love I had for him at the beginning came bk, I went to see him in the March and it was like looking at a new man. I told my family they I wanted us to be together again and in June he came to live at mine with me and my daughter. He was clean , swore to me, my kids, my mum he would never touch drugs or alcohol again, then in the Aug he was taking 1800mg of pregabalin a day and dyazepam, buying them off someone. He was coming home totally wasted from work or not coming right home, but he was still be really nice, he weened off them and was ok for few weeks, then went bk on them, he had stopped following the 12 step program etc, so he the sept I asked him to leave, my 13 year old daughter shouldn't have to be round that. He went bk to his wifes( getting a divorce) but that's where he always goes when he falls out with a gf. Yes it sounds mad!!! Anyway he begged to come home and said he was clean. Just smoking weed. He came bk and upto Xmas was fine, then I'm asking can he go half's on bills etc and food, he paid his half the rent, but no gas or food, I'm asking why can't you help he's saying he can't afford to eat, he works and gets about 500 a week, way more than I earn. Found out he's spending around 300 on weed and going to his cousins every night drinking etc. I knew i was done with this relationship, he had turned nasty, belittled me, I tried to talk and I would be laughed at saying I was overthinking, all the cuddling and kisses had stopped and he said it was all in my head. This is weird to say but he was a more loving and caring partner when he was using crack cocaine. I didn't think I'd ever be able to end things with this man, but I had nothing left to give, we have no contact but stupidly I text him, not sure why, wanting him to realise how horrible he had became, but he thinks the world owes him a favour, luckily he didn't respond as he will move on quickly as its all he nos what to do. I've been ok but today the anxiety has been terrible etc and I felt so alone and that's why I text him, but he will be sitting with whoever calling me crazy etc etc.....will I get over this

...See more I'm 43, out of work and struggling with the job hunt. I don't have any tertiary education. I don't have children and never will (not by choice), no home and having to live with family at my age. My wife deserves better. How can I be a man with any value if I cannot provide. I feel absolutely worthless. I have no hope for the future💔
