I think its human nature, we fall ill and so called friends and family slowly edge out of your life. Everybody is so busy and self absorbed these days and you have to just live with it and concentrate on your own well being. Those who genuinely care will be there for you, this horrible illness robs us all of the freedoms we used to enjoy and believe it or not others resent that fact. It took a while before my family realised something was seriously wrong, i have the opposite problem now they treat me like im made of glass now. As i said before sit down and have a family meeting and let it out, tell them how you feel, what fibro does to you and how your life is changed and you need their help. I really hope you get some help and some understanding. I hope this helped.

It isn't saying anything about you to ask to talk with a therapist who has other fibro clients. Frankly it is nice talking to someone who has to listen to you bitch about things for 50 minutes. And better to complain to them than to a friend.

I AM so very sorry. Unfortuntaly , I too know excatly how you feel. Everybody is there when you reach out to help them , but when your having a rough time of it nobody is ever aeound. My friend circle went from over 60 woman down to one. Only time I talk to the others is if I reach out to them to see how they are doing. Hugs and prayers sweetie. Depression is a evil , evil situation to climb out of. Know we are here for you when you need us.
