Im sick of it all been so hard.

Im sick of it all been so hard.

Im struggling atm l suffered a stress breakdown and am taking stress leave from work l have been bullied by my boss and some others at work. I have also recently cut off an unhealthy one sided friendship and feel pretty alone as l tried so hard to make the friendship work with little effort from my old friend so l have had to end it as it was causing me a lot of stress and she started borrowing money etc she showed a side of me that l never really new and it was not great any way l know l will be ok. Theres just been so much stress for a long time l have had so much to deal with plus l have had to travel interstate to get my asthma medications do to import shortages which has been very hard to source. Im trying to keep my head up but l feel so lonely and depressed. I vulonteer for a charity which is good but other than that l have no friends l have not really ever had good friends lm just so sick of feeling so alone l was an outcast at school and bullied really badly l have ctpsd and major depression anxiety l feel like such a freak sometimes not having friends and it sucks because l am a really compassionate giving person. I just needed to vent.

Re: Im sick of it all been so hard.

It's good that you are recognising the build-up of stress, taking leave and not letting it take control, @Brenita. And here you are, allowing yourself to vent - we are here to listen and I hope you feel some reassuring and positive energy from allowing yourself to be open about these struggles with us here.

Have a peaceful time tonight.

Thank you for your support. I am really grieving the loss of a friend she just wasnt there for me but it still hurts as l really tried to make it work but she just doesnt give me the time or effort so l know l need to move on and hopefully find better friends.

Re: Im sick of it all been so hard.

Hi@Brenita, good on you for standing up for yourself. Having Cptsd is difficult and having someone possibly trigger you at work is not nice. I too have Cptsd and it's difficult. People who bully others are low vibing people and never bothered to work on themselves. They are crappy people who think they can control others and make themselves feel better by putting others down. You also did the right thing by choosing to not let your friend use you anymore. All important things. Always stand up for yourself because no one else in life will.

Most of us on here feel alone and are in the same boat not many friends or none at all. It makes it hard sometimes when you have a disorder to go and make friends. However not everyone is a friend. There will be always 1 or 2 people who genuinely care about you and the rest won't. Take care.
