Update on my life

[tori319]

I haven't been on here much lately, but I'm back if anybody remembers me. I made a thread on coming out to my best friend of 8 years and how well she took it.  Well, she stopped talking to me randomly a few months ago. I started going to school full time for the for the first time. And I'm currently on t-blockers. I do feel isolated since I kind of stopped talking to everyone else and she was my only friend, but I'm not down about it anymore. I don't see any point feeling sorry for myself and being a downer all the time. So yep, there it is.

Hi and yes I and others I'm sure have noticed you have not been here for a while. Hope you are well even though you are staying to yourself. Isolation is the first step in the wrong direction-been there already.
I used to go for walks in the park or around the college grounds-usually at night and it helped me to be around other people even if it was in passing. I've had advanced marital arts training so I go out unafraid for the most part.
It's good to have you back!

Thanks, I'm not isolating myself on purpose though. I just don't really have anyone. I'm a optimist though , so I'm not down about it.

I can certainly relate to that point of view-my best friends have all passed away years ago. I deal as I must and try to find new ones. I get the notion that you are quite capable of keeping things in order so you have that going for you. When we tell someone our condition we are always uneasy and most people just don't deal with that kind of information well.
My mom is the next one I want to tell I just havent found the right time. I'll see her and my sister who already knows this weekend so maybe then.

Well at least you have enough courage to tell your mom. I'm still trying to get to that point.

Relationships ebb & flow. It's always good to reach out and make new friends. It's not good to isolate yourself too much as everyone needs a social network to keep themselves sane.

As for relationship skills, they become rusty if you don't use them... just like anything else. Use it or lose it! lol. Hope things get better for you girl!

Hi Tori.  I was wondering about you the other day.

Relationship require work from both parties.  The more you both put in the more you get out.  But if you are the only one putting in, there is nothing to get back.  Then is the time to back out of it.
