Hey…is there anyone around to talk to? Sorry you’re slipping back…any triggers? Cyber-hug to you. You’re a wonderful person who’s dealt with too much crap.
Ya as much as we hate to admit it, our social network has a profound influence on our state of mind and well-being. Just today I put out many fires with some close social contacts-but when we were not getting along, it was really awful. It turns your life upside down.
Despite being as independent and self-reliant as I am, I realized that one of my weaknesses as a human being is that I do need and crave the company of others-who are a positive influence in my life. Obviously those who are detrimental, I get rid of them. But I think that’s what you need, a better social network.
I completely get what you’re saying. I feel so much better when I think everybody likes me, but I feel like I’m not me when I’m trying to please everyone. Either way, I feel empty. I don’t have the courage to break bonds with the negative people because I really don’t want to create more drama.
I feel myself slipping again too. You’re not alone and you are not broken you are simply bent. We can both fight this if we want to. It will be hard and it won’t seem worth it but there are people all around that will pull you through it if you let them

Thank you so much. I have a therapist, but I’m still working on opening up and sharing how I feel.

Do you have any suggestions for another network?

I like the term bent. Opening up and telling people about myself just sounds terrifying. I think I need to, but I’m sorry you’re slipping. Thank you
