Overwhelmed by loneliness

Been through a lot lately. Spouse was in a horrible accident. I was out of with for several months to take care of him. When I went back to work I found out my friends weren't friends anymore, I'm the outcast now. But I need the job so I just pretend to be happy to have a job.

Spouse is forever changed... He's a shadow of his former self. I have no idea what the future holds, at least with him going back to work. His health and life are on my shoulders. My family's future is on my shoulders. I found out my youngest baby has autism, and Im heartbroken. Top it all off, I'm recovering from surgery. And yeah, it was elective, but I still have to heal. And there's no support. No one to talk to. It's too much. It all hurts too much.

Just awful. So sorry you’re dealing with all this. I can relate. Between stage three cancer and now an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s, my wife has been through hell. And it’s all on me. I’m not complaining but honestly it’s an incredible challenge. And you’re right, when you need them the most, your friends disappear.

@carpediem I'm so sorry about your wife, and all the pressure you are under. I don't understand how people can just turn their back on someone they supposedly care about when they are going through a really hard time. I really can't comprehend being that cruel.
