YEP all the time! I have a very small group of friend's. I don't like always talking about whatever illness I have going on at the time - I get fed up with it so I always feel like everyone else will as well. I have one good friend who has some chronic health issues and we vent to each other as we understand but it is challenging for people who are "well" to understand if they haven't been there before.

You can always tell the people who won't understand because in their world everything is perfect and no one should feel down I just don't talk about it

I have my two fur babies and they are my life , loyal unlike humans. I have just left a friendship my choice because I have had no support at all it had started making me feel angry and I have lost respect and I feel relief oddly enough.Also I have given my all and reached out and got nothing back so I cant feel bad anymore,

Same here when I have/tried to talk no body listens I talk to my furbaby she helps me get through each day she's my forever soul mate I do try to go out but it's not always easy to do so some days are good and some days are bad x

I always feel Im not listened to anyway and if I mention my struggles I get , just get out more but if you had listened to me that also has a huge impact on me and I dont want to go out.
