My very dear friend told me something when I did learn to reach out to others. I was also the strong one who handled everything so well, minimizing my problems so successfully my family honestly didn't know how terrible my life had gotten. My good friend said that she considered it an HONOR that I would reach to her for help. She felt that most people feel that way, that it is an honor when a friend feels they can confide in them and ask for support. You might be surprised to know that someone in your family or circle of friends would actually be honored to be your friend and support system. I'm sorry you feel so alone, as I do know what that is like. Perhaps you can force yourself to join a "group" in the public sector, a book club, knitting, exercise, where others who are looking for a friend might also be attending. It would take guts to be a joiner, I know. But if you don't do this for yourself, who will? Be kind to yourself, Justjo, okay?
