It’s a two-way street. They can’t be the only ones to make contact. You have to make an effort as well. Maybe you have.
If they tell you they care, I believe that’s the truth. But it’s exhausting being the only one to maintain a relationship. Trust me as someone who loves my friends and family but I am suffering the consequences of not having the energy to make almost any contact, and thus losing a lot of my relationships. I’d love to be closer with my brothers but it’s too much in life right now and forever to make the calls. They used to call me, now they don’t, because I never reciprocated. Even though we love to hang out when visiting each other’s cities.
I don’t know your situation at all, but I’m telling you that I want you to live, not for my sake or my selfish reasons (I obviously don’t know you and have zero attachments), but because I want you to feel important, because living should make you feel that way. I want this for you simply because I have empathy and sympathy. That’s it. Same as your circle of friends and family probably as well.
You have a mental health issue that no one on here can solve.
I say this because I spent years in the same place, on the edge of ending my own life. I had a pact with myself that I wouldn’t let myself live another 10 years. That was 12 years ago.
You are depressed. But you can make progress. All of the things that everyone says are the ways out of depression do work - they just don’t work overnight, and they don’t all work all the time - sometimes it’s medication, sometimes it’s quitting booze, sometimes it’s sleeping 8 hours. Sometimes it’s none for a little while and things are bad. It’s a process. But eventually you make progress.
Medication, learning to look after myself better, and finding things in life I do enjoy, have really helped my depression. It’s still a struggle and I’m still improving.
I’ve had a really hard week, it’s Sunday today and I laid on the couch reading a novel for about 8 hours (with breaks). I feel a lot better today than I did yesterday.
I want you to live. ❤️

Do you want to hang out with them?

I want you to live, love, and find happiness. 🙂
