I posted a little while ago - I'm not quite myself and have zero emotion. However, today I feel (I'm not actually sure) let down so I'm guessing I have that kind of emotion. I guess it's made me feel more alone and less connected to anyone (apart from my dc's). I don't have close friends but I do have a couple of friends I keep in contact with (uni friend and my dd's friends mum) via text and get together for a cuppa, probably once every 3 months. I arranged with my one friend back in Jan to go out tomorrow to watch the rugby. I have not been feeling great and for a while and I have been trying to lift my mood. One thing I need to do is try to connect more with people. So that's when I planned this. Messaged my friend last weekend to double check and all was still on. I arranged childcare and my shifts at work. Had my hair done and nails today. Even went and bought a new top. Today at 3pm she cancelled. She said she is poorly. I completely understand and wished her well. However, I just feel so disappointed. I can not do anymore than I have been doing to try to connect or make friends. I messaged my other friend to see if she has plans and if she fancied going out. She messaged back saying yes she did. Which again is fine. I am probably just feeling sorry for myself but I have felt lonely for a very long time. I went to buy myself some flowers and potted some plants in the garden to try to cheer myself up. I try and act like I'm ok - when I really am not.
