No friends

[Rayshine13]

Sorry if it’s too long or boring, guess I just want to vent it all out. Had a big row with my DH today and has been crying since. I can’t talk to anyone about it and realised how I don’t have any friends anymore. I am very close with my family ( my mum and brothers) but I can’t tell them any of this as they tend to worry a lot. I had close friends back in university but kind of drifted apart after moving to UK and not in touch with anyone other than wishing for each other’s birthday. Just feel like talking to someone and pouring my heart out.

It’s not long or boring Rayshine.

What happened with your DH?

And I know with things as they are, it’s the worst possible time to make new friends, but it is a good time to reconnect with old ones. It just takes a bit of effort. Go through their recent social media posts, like them, comment on them. Let them know you’re thinking of them, tell them you miss them. Show interest in how they’re doing, wherever they are. And keep it up. I mean, don’t go all weird and start commenting on everything they post, but show an interest in their life. And then when things get better, you can get yourself out there and make new, local friends. But make sure you maintain that contact with the old friends through social media.

Let it out girl, let us help you xx

I could have written this, apart from the big row. It can be tough when you just want to talk but don't have anyone to talk to. Feel free to vent here xx

OP, do you have a faith? If so, even though the churches are closed during the pandemic, if you ring the minister and ask for prayer to guide you, and bible quotes to lift your spirits, such as Psalm 91. If the churches were open there would always be someone willing to talk to you, and you would be able to meet new people. I am really missing my local church services, and hope and pray we are all back meeting together soon, for fellowship in faith.

Do you want to tell us about what happened in the row?

Aw, that's harsh,it,spinds,as though you're having a horrible time.

Are you on SM? My local area has private groups, just local info and chat etc. but there are often people looking to make local friends - that might be somewhere to start. Sure you won't be pouring your heart out in the first five minutes, but you might make some friends and have people close by you can meet for a coffee etc.

We're here OP. What happened?
