Thursday, Friday, and Saturday are not good days for me in some ways. I have been doing very well in my life lately with school and taking care of business, but on these days I get a little depressed. On these days people my age are calling each other making plans to go out and have fun. Even stay in and have fun... get together and watch their favorite show.. whatever. The point is they are doing it together. I don't get calls from friends to hang out. I rarely get calls at all. The friends I have, we keep in touch.. keep in contact, but just barely. It's easier to go along with my life other days because I'm busy with school and doing homework. I like those other days. These days... I don't like. I feel like such a loser. Anyone else feel this way?

I mean... for the past four years I have been battling with medication.. battling with this illness and I've done a lot of stupid stuff and I've lost a lot of friends... lost myself. But I have come to accept myself for what I am finally. I'm sure I'll make some nice friends eventually... I just feel so strange without a social life.

There was a time in my life where I literally dreaded the weekends, meant I was home and didn't have anything to do and was having to face things I didn't want to face.

You will eventually find people that you can relate too and become friends with.

Thanks sossie and ddyer. Thankfully I am at home with my parents and my sister, so I'm not soo lonely. I just wish I had more friends, consistent friends. I have been talking to this girl in my computer class a lot... I think it's possible to make friends, I guess it's just hard to face myself on the weekends. I rarely use facebook, but when I do go on, I see that no one has posted on my wall. I have over 400 friends on faceboook, people that i knew from high school, college, family... I guess I've changed from when they knew me (except my family). Family is very strong for me. I am very thankful for that. Thanks for your comments ladies.
