TW nearly 62 now. Done all the therapy and self help. Tried so hard to change everything wrong with me. Still have a miserable lonely life where I mother and soothe and support as many people as I can but have no one to help me. Taken for a fool consistently. Unconditional love and acceptance doesn't atttact the same. Just need to die now. Wish I knew how.

Hey, Loo, just checking in again to say I'm thinking of you. You've been such a good friend from so far away, it's amazing the good you did me year before last when I really needed a friend. Much support you way now.

Hi there, sorry for the tough day. You sounded like a person who unconditionally care for people around you. I can feel your love for people. But the golden rule says you have to take care of yourself before you can care for others. You cannot pour from an empty cup. How about doing something for yourself only for a while? Like going on a holiday, go for a spa, or just hole up somewhere with a book and a glass of wine. Take care of yourself first. It’s not selfish. Be well. God bless!

Thanks for the support everyone. It's a life saver. I'm feeling a bit better in some ways. I had to end two 'friendships' with people who were just draining me without giving anything back. One of th came over drunk last night twice and tried picking my lock when I wouldn't let him in. The other one a woman I could just block on the phone. I really have no support with my dramas except here. I so appreciate it. I wonder if I am causing this in some way through being too understanding!

Unconditional love. It's lonely at the top, so I hear, and its lonely at the bottom. But you are very special to give that kind of love. I wished I could tell you that there are a few billion like you on the planet. Bitter Sweet it is. I'd rather the Love giving over Hate giving. You leave a trail of good karma in your life wake. Beautiful things always happen in such places, even when you aren't there to see them.

Sorry you had to draw a boundary with two people when feeling so alone. It's hard to do, Loo, but it sounds like it had to be done. When somebody's picking your lock they're literally violating your boundary, it couldn't be more clear. Glad our support is helping you feel a bit better. You're a champion as a friend and you deserve it.
