I have personally found that one of the hardest things about being in a bad place or going through a rough patch is getting people to take you seriously and finding anyone at all to sit down for a moment and just say, "Hey, I didn't forget about that thing you were going through. How are you doing?" I can't blame anyone, really, because people are absorbed in their own lives and often don't have the mental or emotional architecture to be able to invest that much thought or energy into someone else's life and issues. But I understand where you're coming from because even though I'm sure our situations are different, I can relate to the feeling of no one really remembering that you need them to be a little more gentle and understanding sometimes. I think people just don't know what to do or say, so it's easier to say nothing. And they usually do.

It's why groups like this are helpful. Everyone here can understand and is mindful.

I also relate to the frustration of feeling like you're stuck, just waiting for things to unfold. I feel like everything is coiled into a tight little spiral and it's getting pulled tighter all the time and I'm just waiting for the damn thing to give and finally spring apart, and I imagine that day will bring a sense of freedom and and grace and peace to my life, and everything will shift, and everything will be lighter and I'll be so grateful on that day...

But for now, I'm like you. Waiting. Hoping. Working on bettering myself in other ways. It's tough, but we're strong.

I hope your pain and frustration eases soon. In the meantime, I'd like to offer you all the gentle hugs I can spare tonight.

Sorry you're having a rough time! Try to explain to your friends you are having a difficult time and don't mean to get angry and snap at them. Due to not feeling well for several months and being depressed I was getting easily agitated and snapped at a couple friends; I apologized and explained it was my frustration over not feeling well for so long. They were totally understanding.
You are not alone.... Sending hus and support!!

Should say 'hugs' not 'hus'...

Thank you @rosecandy for your words and gentle hugs. It feels good hearing I'm not alone. This mental pain is so much harder than my physical pain. I had brain damage and it hurt the parts of my brain that are in charge of emotional reactivity and mood control and it just feels like my friends and family have had enough. I guess I snapped at my friend's bf and she's upset because he was being nice to me. I apologized but I tried to remind her that I'm working on things but I'm still dealing with it. And also told her that I felt hurt too because I felt like I've been having to fight for her attention or time. She isn't answering now. I just feel like I'm such a burden to have as a friend now. I'm not who I used to be and they're tired of it.

Thanks @bethelbee I'm trying but I think my friend is tired of it..

No friendship is a burden. Friendship should be celebrated, even if one or both of you is going through it at any time. You are not a burden. People love you. Sometimes illnesses, injuries, and disorders are hard to love. But YOU, as a person, are not.

I'd recommend telling your friend exactly what you've said here: that your injury is still affecting your life in this way, and also that you would like to have some friend-to-friend time with her.

It's okay and understandable for people to get frustrated from time to time. Just remember that it's not you they don't love. You are valued.

It doesn't feel like it. Especially after what she said. She said I've been snappy with her bf and ex and that she doesn't want to bring them around me which means its harder to spend time with me. I just feel like such shit. I thought I was doing better and she throws it in my face that I'm still not ok. She's one of my only friends in the area and I feel bad if I was being a bitch or whatever but I'm trying so hard. I'm fighting to get back what I lost. But it's not enough. It's never enough.

I have severe depression too. I am going on year 3 after losing about half my hair due to my medication. My hair has not grown back fully yet & I have to spend every day trying to hide my bald patches with hair fibers. My common-law husband also recently had an "emotional affair" (writing lovely things) about his female superior at his work, in his notebook which I discovered. I just wanted to say, don't overgeneralize. There are times when you think everyone else has it good, but remember that everyone has problems. Some people have more than others & some people are just better at hiding them than others. Everyone has dirty laundry...& those who say they don't are liars.

also, remember that if people can't stand by you even with your issues, then they are not really your friends. it's the ones that continue on by your side through the tough times that have really proven they are truly there for you. My common-law husband was my only friend for 3 years- and look what I had happen. & initially he said he was dumping me because I was too depressed & didn't want to go out with him all the time. I had to figure out the hard way that he wasn't in it for the long haul & wasn't a true friend. But it still hurts.

Yes it's hard for someone to see your pain inside than outside like when your physically hurt people see your pain but when emotionally no can really describe your pain inside,I feel that way too its makes me feel invisible handicap except it's my feelings that's invisible.

@Friendless It's super hard sometimes, especially because they think you will get better quickly as in physical pain. And they don't have to deal with it all day every day like we do, they get to forget and move on
