Just need a friend..........
Posted: Tue Jan 24, 2017 12:37 pm
Hi.
I only just joined this forum a couple of weeks ago. Made a couple of posts, and was fortunate enough to meet a couple of people with whom I conversed a few times via PM
Going off my meds is progressing.......a lot harder than I thought, seeing as the withdrawal symptoms are more severe than I'd anticipated. But, unlike the last time I tried this (2 years ago), this time I'm determined to go through with it! Slowly, for sure. But, definitely plan on seeing this through.
To help me along, I've made some drastic changes --- I force myself to go out more (the real danger, as we all know, is in staying cooped up inside 4 walls).........I am engaging in as many sport activities as possible, even those that I'm not too fond of, as long as it keeps me occupied, and keeps my mind busy. I try to be home only at night, when I want to go to bed.
All of this, however, is pointless if there's nobody to talk to. I don't have any close friends or family (which is why the years have been hard --- going through something like this alone is the worst).
What I really need is a friend. Someone to talk to............someone who is either going through the same, or has been there, and knows what it's all about.
I'd much rather use email.........or SKYPE..........or Whatsapp. A more direct and instant form of communication. I'm not looking for a lifeline, no. But, it would be great knowing that there is someone there who'll respond, even if all we have to say on any particular day is : "hello. Sleep well? How was your night/day? What are you up to? How do you feel today?"
Thanks (
