No Support

[sofachill]

I feel like I have no support from anyone.

I've always had to be very independent and I don't like to bother friends with problems.

I have a very unsupportive parent. I am low contact with him because of lots of reasons I won't go into.

I had a bad day today and it would have been nice to talk to a partner about it but I was dumped a while ago.

I'm usually upbeat and I guess I am feeling sorry for myself. Just wondering if anyone else ever feels like this and what they do about it. Thanks

Feeling pretty much the same way. Things have gone all wrong. I don't need anyone to fix it, it will sort itself out one way or the other. It would just be nice to have someone to have a cuddle with

I do understand. When i lived on my own after divorce i had a car crash on way home from work one day, - all fine but so strange going home and having no one to tell... i think lots of people can relate to how you feel - even those in relationships... ..

Thanks for your replies, really appreciate it.

OP I could have written your post. Like you I am also independent and there is this sense constantly of if I dont then nobody will.

I have friends but they have their own lives and they aren't really around/invite me to much. My family are spread out throughout the country and after a pretty grim/abusive childhood there isn't much bond between any of us.

I have the most amazing DD but I shoulder the vast majority of looking after her. DP doesnt drive so is completely limited in what he can do. I do all drop offs, pick ups. There is nobody else to do it. If I am ill I just have to sort of shut up and get on with it.

DP has gone out. Its Friday night and I'm alone typing this. Next week will be the same and the week after and so on.

I very much feel you and sympathize.

I feel the same 3 months in to split (not my decision and OW on scene). Domestic problems that I could solve, but it would have been good to have support.

It's good to know I am not the only one although I wouldn't wish that feeling of being very alone on anyone.

I've got some things to look forward to now during the run up to Christmas so
I'm back to feeling more positive
