Having a really hard time

emilymemily

In the last 3 months my boyfriend dumped me out of the blue by text message and my dad got diagnosed with cancer, my whole world turned upside down. Since ive been anxious, sad and not myself most of my friends have for the most part, cut me out of their lives, I dont ever hear from them. I have hobbies and interests that I do each week, I work well with my colleagues and I get on with people but im feeling incredibly isolated and alone. I went from having a very active social life, a full calender and my always had people contacting me on the phone to not getting a text message from anyone in weeks, slow replies to my messages and excuses as to why they cant meet up. I spend all my time on my own and with everything else going on its making me depressed and anxious. Why is this happening.

Friendships can go through phases. I would not worry about that too much

What I would advise you is to see a counsellor that can help you process all of this.

Go through your local GP. He or she would be a good person to start with.

BTW that boyfriend is a coward. You are well rid of him

sorry to hear this .

Did you put your friends on the back burner when you started going out with your BF ?

If so, maybe try and explain that to them and see if you can slowly start spending more time with them ?

You should try spend time with your family but most importantly, your Dad. He needs your support at this time. In the grand scheme of things, that is all that is important at the minute.

Take care
