Hey everybody, I hope you kind of remember me but i will summarize things about me just in case. I have been suffering from md since i was 8, and am diagnosed with dysthymia. I have had quite a difficult childhood and even tho my life is so much better now i still dont seem to be able to face reality. Anyway i have been posting here in the past and it seemed like I was doing good, trying to find hobbies and all that. but honestly, the last few months have been so hard on me and i just feel myself slipping away again. As I have told earlier all my friends turned on me out of nowhere in october and even if we talked it out and all that, we are no longer friends but just classmates. I have had no one to talk to who wasnt obligated by family bonds since october, and i have been sitting alone during schoolbreakes for months. when my older sister (who goes to the same school) caught on and went to my mom with it I just explained that I had pushed my friends away because I wanted to focus on school. But its just all a lie, and the worst thing is that i have been trying to convince myself that it was the truth ever since. And now with the social distancing.. I just cant take it anymore. I am just sleeping and daydreaming all day, and I am even reading books and listening to music to fuel it even more. I dont even go upstairs to the living room anymore, and only go to the kitchen once or twice a day to get something to eat. My parents dont seem to be catching on that this is going on and I am not planning on making them worry about me again. they just think that I am just working on school all day, and social distance myself from them as my imune system is really bad. But i just cant handle this lonelyness anymore. And seeing how my ex friends talk in the junior/senior school groupchats about how they videochatted with each other or held a virtual movie night without of inviting me just hurts me more. I want to stop going down this rabit hole but in my daydreams I am so happy, or at least distracted from the reality. I just feel so lost. And honestly it feels just so relieving to type all this down and sending it into the world.

Hello. I remember you. If I'm right you had said before your friends just kind of were acting mean towards you out of the blue. Social distancing is hard. I have spent way too much time daydreaming instead of doing homework. Everyone having to socially distance themselves is having similar problems with staying productive, it's not just us daydreamers. However, I think it's excessively difficult for us, especially when we know we are being shut out by people who used to like us. I hope it gets better for you. I don't know what advice to give. Maybe try to spend more time with your family if that is possible for you. Also, you can always come here. But I honestly am having trouble staying off, so try not to let this forum take up too much of your time.

Friends can be pretty fickle in the real world... It always devastates me to lose a friendship.. even if it's a mutual decision or we just don't click anymore. But betrayal is another hurtful thing altogether. I'm very sorry you're friends turned on you. I really do hope you are able to find new friends who will be there for you. This social distancing really isn't helping things but it'll come to pass too. I know it's easy to make up better friends... make up a better world, a better life. I've done that... but all my daydreams tell me not to give up hope. They want me to live and be happy. Not that it's easy... but I have a goal in mind... to one day be as happy about my life in real life as in the daydream.
