# surgery yesterday- # thankful for husband, siblings #Friends - heard from 4

Feeling lonely- glad i have my husband and siblings- w/o them- have heard from no one else- I am happy for the relationships i have- be nice to hear from friends- maybe they think I am resting and feel they are bothering so maybe this is why they have stayed away today.
More like the truth is they are busy in their own lives. My siblings who have grown adult children and grandchildren- and some have spouses - heard from all of them- all 5 of them/. My friends- best ever since I had my issues- heard from 4 the day before the surgery- one or two I contacted- but they contacted me back to wish me well- that counts.

But it is two days after my surgery I have heard from no friends- only my siblings- who sent flowers- beautiful bouquet of flowers-and my husband- who is helping me- today o am glad for what I got- can’t help but feel a little lonely- but that goes w the territory-

I grew up in a big family and used to a lot of people around. Now in my older adult life- I am typically alone- alone at home w my husband- who typically does his own thing. But today I am grateful for whatever I can get from him- and trying to be grateful for my life as it is-I think I am.

New here

Hello I’m Charlie. I have Autism, OCD and Trisomy X Syndrome (born with an extra chromosome). I’m 21, from the UK and I’m currently at uni studying a degree in media. I love writing poetry, listening to music, watching tv and playing video games. I’d like to make friends with other Autistic people as I barely have any friends.

Feeling Strong!

It is a beautiful day here here in Florida. It is crisp this morning and I have the windows down. I have been working a lot on my YouTube channel "ValerieCorinneNJ" and I hope to grow it. I am excited for the future and I am looking forward to seeing what good things can happen. I have struggled for so long, and I still do with major #PanicAttacks It's awful. Anxiety isn't the best either. But I do what I do because I have to. I just keep moving.

I pray that you're doing well.
I am around. I am alive. LoL

Love,
Valerie

Long time no talk

I have not been on this app in a hot minute, I’ve been busy with life, etc., and somewhat forgot about this app but now that there’s a possible TikTok ban, , I will be exploring other apps aside from the ones I already have off. Just a reminder I am a knitter. I am a witch, and I am an autistic adult. #Friends #knitting #AutismSpectrum #witchywoman

Hi my name is Mia

I’m here because I’m struggling with depression, anxiety, and academic burnout and it’s really impacting my friendships. I have no energy or desire to hang out or talk to my friends, and they just confronted me about being a flake and not reciprocating the energy they are putting into our friendship. They are right. And it just fills me with so much guilt and shame to know that I’ve been such a distant and disengaged friend. As much as I want to do better and prioritize our friendship, I struggle just to get out of bed every morning. I’m trying my best just to be okay with myself and regulate my emotions and it’s so incredibly overwhelming to even think about hanging with friends. Can anyone help me? #Depression #Anxiety #FamilyAndFriends #Friends

Connecting

Is there anyone who would like to connect with me? I’m struggling with depression and anxiety and trying to find a support group of friends. I’ll be there for you too. I live in Chicago but am open to speaking with people outside of this area.

Thank you

Hi! I am new to this do I don't really know how to stars but I've beed dealing with depression since i was 11 i am now 14 and still dealing with it. Lately It's been worse again you know the feeling when you just finally got out of it and then you fall in again. Well I've been having hard tine dealing with self harm and suicide thoughts to so i don't really know what to do with myself. I have a therapist but for some reason I am so afraid to cry infront of her and then I end up not telling her what is actually happening. But I have a problem with my friend and I really hope I am not the bad Guy in this. So if I can I will just tell the story and I hope you can tell me what to fo cuz idk. So me and my friend were friends for a year and a half and we were kind of very toxic she lied to me for a month for being pregnant and showing me fake test but i have always forgave her for all of that. We Both made mistakes. Well in August she gave me a promise to not forget about me when she goes to a diffrence school (she is a year older). And know since september i have not seen her almost twice and i ask her every weekend if she has time but she always says she is busy and goes out with other friends and she in not only ignoring me but my two friends too its been happening for about 2 months and we've had enough tomorow we finally convived her to hang out with us but we are not really sure she'll come we want to comfront her. Because she's been ignoring all of our texts if she has time ghosting us ignoring us and telling us she is busy meanwhile she's been hanging out with only two other friends all the time. If she doesn't want to be my freind i want her to tell. well tomorow we are going tk comfront her about this and we'll see what happens.#Friends #feel

I'm taking a bit of a sabattical during September/October, but before I log off, I wanted to write this blog post and leave it with you to think about while I'm away.

I think it's one of the most special blog posts I've written as it means so much to me on a personal level.

I hope it helps you identify your village, or perhaps find it.

Sam ❤️

It Takes A Village

“It Takes a Village” is such a familiar phrase for most of us, isn’t it.What does it really mean though?
