I remember the loneliness well. This board was literally a life saver for me. You may find that a lot of the people in your "real life" will listen for awhile. They may even be helpful. Eventually, though, most of them will fizzle out. Not because they don't care about you. It's just an exhausting process for those going through it and those trying to support the ones going through. For some reason, many of us feel the need to keep talking about out sitches. I don't know if it makes it more real, or helps us process or vent or what. It just seems like a common thread to me. My poor sister had to listen to me for hours! Looking back, I don't know how she did it.
The beauty of this board is that you can come here any time and talk with your cyber friends. Most are always willing to listen and lend some help. We have real empathy because we have walked in your shoes.
Do take care of yourself. Keep exercising and make sure you REST. And also cut yourself some slack. This is all very hard and as much as you might want to be, no one is Superman.
Hope you have a good day tomorrow.
Hugs, Spitty
Always do right. This will gratify some people, and astonish the rest. Mark Twain
