It is a lonely existence for me as well, no one truly gets me, and everyone walks away after they use me. But I am still holding on. I hope you fight through it as well.

Have you tried a meetup type program where you go and do activities with others? They have all kinds of activities from hiking to playing kick ball. They may not get you but "normal" people can be supportive too, you just have to look for the good ones. They may not get what I'm going through but they're supportive in the ways they can be. But I understand the need for wanting someone who understands you, that's how I came to DS. I was also going to try an in-person support group but none of them are close enough. I know it feels lonely but know that you're not alone in this. Here if you need to talk -hugs-

I thought you spent the days taking care of your parents...

I'm actually in Harvey 10 mins away. I've tried to find groups around here but can't seem too. Tried meet up but nothing was on there either.

thats great, sent ya a message

also yes i take care of my dad, whats that got to do with me wishing i had people that are like me?

because you don't post one honest thing ever. you make it sound like your in a room by yourself everyday with no human contact....and your not. You take care of your dad every day, I believe you said 6 days a week. And your mom helps as well, so your in a house with your parents, with people, everyday. Your not all alone without human contact.

What "normal" people are offering annoying advice and crap? How are you finding these normal people who are so unlike yourself?

If the annoying advice and crap you are receiving is from DS members, I can assure you that we are probably not quite "normal". We are all here because we have some sort of issue or concern, be it mental or physical illness, addiction, behavior and personality disorders. The advice and crap you are receiving is most likely based on the personal experience of the members who offer it - DS members who are dealing with or have dealt with all the issues you find yourself facing.

I myself have personally dealt with (and successfully recovered from) divorce, alcoholism/addiction and mental illness. Perhaps I am not so "unlike" you. Perhaps what makes me and others seem to you to be dis-similar is that we have accepted accountability for our issues and actively seek out and participate in way of improving our lives and situations.
