came back

Hello. I came back to DS after I left last year after being on here for over 3 yrs. I left because a dear friend of mine left DS and it left me feeling so sad and lost because I doubted that I would find anyone else to be friends with like that person again and it got to the point that most of the time I was feeling invisible too. I actually felt better after I left DS but lately I have been feeling so alone and nothing seems good anymore. I can't even explain it properly but the days are a real drag and maybe it's because I can't remember when I had a good nights sleep. I'm not really expecting anything to come out of my returning but I have no one to talk to so I guest I needed to come back and put it out there. If you took the time to read this then thank you and I'm sorry if my topic mislead you into thinking someone you maybe missed came back.

Well, Sir ... is this the same DS name you had originally? I do not recall seeing you before.

In any case, I am sorry you feel alone and sad. If you make a reasonable presence here, I am sure you will make many DS friends.

DS is a savior to many ... but keep in mind, .. 'real life' goes on, and I really hope you can find some joy and happiness in yours. Maybe making some will work for you. I hope so.

Good luck to you ... I hope to see you often here.

Welcome back and hope you get lots of support. I been on for years no one misses me if I am gone. It still helps me to journal and connect to the few that do help. Give others a chance though they may not be like your friend but offer other stuff:)

I bet you make many new friends. Making friends is difficult for me, but here, I have met a lot of wonderful caring people. Like WanderingVet said, keep posting your own thoughts & feelings & respond to other's posts.

Welcome back, good luck and many hugs!

I'm glad you came back! Sorry about your friend leaving. I, too, have a couple of friends on here, so I'm sure you'll find many more friends and/or people to talk to!!!!!!!!!

Like the others asked. Are you under the same name as you were before you left? It is hard to start over making friends. But, it can be done. Glad you came back, welcome home.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
