I’m at an all time low right now and I know exactly why:

1. My cousins are literally never going to see me again. (Divorce sucks)

2. I’ve been diagnosed with hypoglycemia and it’s quite hard to manage especially since my friends don’t exactly understand what that is, and what it does to me. (They’re judgemental because I can’t be there when my blood sugar is low)

3. My friends are excluding me from activities because they don’t want to be around me anymore. Plus they like the new kid down the street more. (Basically I feel abandoned)

So now I’m depressed and on top of that I’m thinking friends are terrible people (at the moment).

I’m sorry you are feeling so down on yourself. You deserve great friends that will be there for you. If you believe in god, prayers to god. I have been praying to God asking that he be my friend and strength when I need it most. Take care.

Yeah, I know how when divorce happens and it separates you from the people you really care about. Sorry that had to happen to you. Regardless, if you make new friends then you can fill that void in your heart, everything will get better. Also, in the times that you are alone, try and find a common hobby(I recommend online chess or scrabble[The Physical version works too]). What I'm trying to say is when something doesn't work i.e. friendships whether it be down-the-street or via family, the time you would've spent with those people replace it for something else and you'll slowly forget about them. Hope that helped.

I understand your hypoglycemia, that is not fun but can be managed.
Divorce also sucks but it might have been for a good reason which can be realized when things calm down.
You are going to see in life that friends come and go. Bad friends suck! You can and should eliminate them from your life ie block their phone numbers, block their social media. You do not need to have any contact with them. I know this, I have recently experienced this with someone very close to me. The so called friends were blocked and new friends are being discovered and made. Take something positive out of this situatation; you learned how hurtful people can be, you learned their ways, now take that information and find real friends. Don’t waist your time on anyone who isn’t willing to waist time with you.
