Unhappy Whine and Cry

Ok my fellow losers

My six month anniversary was sunday and I was so down and blue all weekend. I dont know who I am or who I think I am. Everything has changed or nothing has changed depending on what side Im standing on that day.

I dont seem to have a life. Ok maybe I do and its just not as active as I would like it to be. I have never had a great deal of friends but have always maintained a few close ones. I realized yesterday that key friends that I thought would stand by me had pulled away. I have a few good ones that have stuck with me no matter what.

I didnt expect to have men falling at my feet but a date once in a while would be nice. Men rarely notice me much less talk to me and when they do .. thats it. What is it about me? I wish someone could tell me.

I didnt expect life to change drastically but neither did I expect it to remain so much the same. I spent soo many years afraid of people that I dont think I learned or retained the skills on how to make friends or interact with the opposite sex.

Im soo lost. How do I find myself?

Debbie,

There was a great thread called Emotional Woes that has some helpful info on it. But as to your life totally changing, give it some more time. You are in a transition time, and your feelings are totally normal. Keep posting here, and you'll find that there are a lot of people going thru the same things.

Take care and be easy on yourself.

I'm sorry you are feeling so down right now. I have noticed my circle of friends has changed in just 12 weeks. I feel like I have grown apart from them or just can't take their negativity anymore. This is a life changing experience all the way around. Wish I was closer so we could get together. I'm sure you'll have a blast with Bridget. I have a blast reading her posts! Please let me knoe if there is anything I can do to help you out!

My Beautiful Podmate. I know how you are feeling. I have so been feeling alot of what you are descibing. I only have 1 friend (from before, not counting the beautiful people I have meet on this forum) and things are kinda weird now. I agree with what the others said. Come hang out with us when we go out. What are you doing the weekend of June 24? Vegas baby?

I love your new avatar. You are looking great, fantastic, beautiful, etc...

ps OMG I totally forgot that yesterday was our 6 month. My appt is on fri. When are you having your 6 m check up?
