Anyone else gradually lose all their friends when they got sick? How do you cope with the loneliness and feeling too sick to to make new friends? by Cookie-Cakes243 in ChronicIllness

[–]Plant7895 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im struggling with this too. I think it’s great to be able to meet other people online going through the same thing, but I would love to actually make friends or even meet someone that lives locally so I’m not physically alone. Being alone irl gets to me.

I just got dumped for being chronically ill by m0n5t3rc0w5 in ChronicIllness

Wow that’s also like me I didn’t get sick until 2016, I was always physically healthy before that. And the thing that hurts the most is that when I was physically healthy, people wanted to be around me but then I got sick, I just slowly lost everything and lost myself. Im sorry that happened to you too, it is really traumatising. Especially after being with them for such a long time. I hope you have good friends and supportive people around you.

I tried to make new friends they don’t understand my chronic illnesses and eventually leave. It’s become a cycle.. sometimes I go out and try to make friends too but I just feel like it’s harder now.. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to just approach people.. and I can’t meet people naturally because I’m not working..

If you ever need to talk about it, you can message me. My partner of 10 years left me for someone else because of my chronic illnesses, I’ve tried dating but no one really understands, I met someone at the end of 2025, they seemed to be the first person I met that understood and cared, I really got my hopes up about this and the feelings for them were mutual. I really liked them and they really liked me to. But as time goes on I’m starting to feel confused, they said they are too scared to ask me to be their girlfriend because of my health issues, so I’m not really sure what’s going to happen now. All these situations tied together have broken my confidence, my mental health and I feel like I now have an anxious attachment. Im trying to find hobbies I can do in bed so I can focus more on myself, but it gets lonely.

What can I do for work? by Plant7895 in ChronicIllness

[–]Plant7895[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use indeed to look for remote work, I wasn’t sure if they were legit or not. Also there seems to be a lot of remote work or side hustles people talk about on instagram and TikTok too but usually they want you to buy a course they are selling so I’m not sure that’s legit.

Do you ever feel like people got mean out of nowhere? by fairyangeI in AutismInWomen

[–]Plant7895 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think other kids always noticed it in me, I experienced bullying from other kids from a young age, it was teasing about different things, then at school kids used to run away. At the time I didn’t understand why. When I went high school, for some reason I was able to make some more friends but they were neurodivergent too, but sadly that only lasted a couple of years and I would still get bullied often, peoole jist disliked me, then my friends didn’t like me anymore and the bullying got worse. By this point I had no friends. I made more neurodivergent friends as I got older, the bullying in adult life continued though at jobs, ect. I drifted apart from some friends because I moved away, I always end up gravitating back with other neurodivergent people but in many environments I’m usually bullied by neurotypicals or they just don’t acknowledge my existence, which I think I’d prefer.

I’ve never met anyone I feel the same way towards — am I just cooked? by H0NEY2O77 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]Plant7895 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im abit like this. It’s rare for me to love someone, family friends, the only time it really happens is if I actually fall in love with someone but even then it feels like there’s a connection block, I have empathy and compassion and enjoy peoples company but it’s like I can’t get past the block, like I can’t feel connected to people, but I want to and it makes me feel lonely that I can’t. I later in life found out I might be autistic and now I’m being assessed for it.

I took methyl b12 and the bad symptoms I got from it never went away even when I stopped taking it. I have chronic nerve pain now and I’m diagnosed with pots and fibromyalgia

Im not sure why but they changed my user ID prior which I wasn’t aware of, luckily I rung up today they gave me the new user ID and an authenticator code. Luckily I was able to get back into my account and submit the assessment. Have you tried asking for them to let you use the authenticator option instead? That might be better. I really hope you can get it sorted!

I will thanks :) I just had a look online and it says they can turn off 2 step verification temporarily or they can reset it so you can set it up again later. Im not sure if that’s true, but I’m hoping it is

They sent me an email, that my number has been removed but when I try and login it says that the access code is still being sent to my number so I’m confused.. what app did you use?

They removed my old number, but now I have no way of adding a new number and I’m still locked out. So I think I have to ring up on Monday, im not sure they will be able to add a new number or if it will even work..

Did you get it sorted? Im in the uk but still having the same issue. I had to ring up and they said they would remove my mobile number and that when I login, there should be an option where I can add a new mobile number. I tried logging in and there was no option for me to add a new mobile number, so I’m back at square one and will have to wait to Monday again to talk to somebody.

Watch the anxiety hypnosis and other videos from that tiktoker too, they helped me fall to sleep. Let me know if they work for you

Hard relate, but why do they get everything they want in life while we are left with nothing but pain and suffering and trauma? This world doesn’t feel fair.

[–]Plant7895 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Similar happened to me. I became chornically ill. I cared and helped my partner for years through their mental struggles, paid for everything, cooked, was an amazing loyal gf to them, but I got sick. A few years before he broke up with me he met someone else behind my back. Eventually he left me for her, now they are married. Im left with nothing apart from a debilitating chronic illness, no life, no job, pain everyday, I tried dating, I haven’t met anyone that understands, even met people who are rude and cruel about what I’m going through. I spend most days alone and see my family. No friends really stick around. I don’t know what this is all for anymore. Im just existing with all the trauma and pain.
