dealing through a sudden, rough break-up of a long relationship with my live-in boyfriend. the most common advice one receives in this situation is to rely on friends, and get out of the houser and spend time with friends....

but what if you don't have any? the very few friends i had have moved hours from me and i rarely talk to them now. so what do you do then?

i know - it isn't my fault things have played out as it has... it's something he's dealing with, but that doesn't help me when dealing with it. i also don't understand it.

and when i say everyone leaving me - it seems my closest friends, in RL have abandoned me lately, and i don't know why. it's like they are mad at me and i have done something wrong, but i honestly cannot think of what. in fact, i had been feeling good and thought things were back to the good ol' days... i dunno.

I don't have many friends. I have like 2 friends and they are both married and very busy, one lives 2 hours away from me. We aren't very close. I feel lonely all the time but I am too depressed to meet new people, so I have a sense of what you are going through.

I know its tough, just hang in there. You'll meet some new friends. Also hang onto your friends on DS, I'm here if you ever need to talk. I'd be nice to have someone to talk to. :)

Best wishes!
