Hello everyone, I joined this site quite some time ago. I decided to hop back because I got an email about recent posts and one of them was about lonliness, which I've been struggling with quite a bit lately. I'm happily married but I don't really have any friends. It's hard to make friends as an adult and any friends that I have made I've pushed away (fear of abandonment is huge for me). I don't know, I decided that maybe it's time to reach out to others struggling with some of the same things.

@Borderline Blah Wow, you are lonely, even though you are married with a family. I thought that was rare, but is not… There are many SG friends who have a similar challenges liked you. What is keeping you from making friends? Or maybe, you are liked me, it’s takes me awhile to get comfortable with people, and make friends. I have few friends, but they are true friends. Welcome back! Be strong, the best is yet, to followed… SG friends are here, to support, and be supported. Be Hopeful.
Like I said, my husband is very supportive but I'm his partner too and don't want him to have to act as a therapist. I do have a great team (therapist and psychiatrist) but they don't take away the loneliness either. I'm on medications that help my mood but idk...

but mine is a whole diff story. That’s why i am here. To support each other to make us less lonely at this moment in time.
