Losing friends due to being ip

[oooobeeeeii]

So Ive been out of school for quite a while due to being in a psych ward. Its fine here, they are helping a lot. But my prom is coming up soon and my best friend just told me that she doesnt wanna go w me anymore. They have all been hanging out without me and ive been stuck here. I have no friends except one. I have no one now.

That sucks.
I've lived in a village for six years and have cultivated an outsider crazy identity (jokes on them ... wow , what a crazy place this is.)

People get really freaked by the mental illness stuff.
I'm imagining that is what is going on.

Meh. You acted in GOOD FAITH by telling people honestly where you were at .
If they can't handle it , well , it's on THEM.

Frankly ,if people get through this life in this civilization without some serious soul trouble ... well I guess they are lucky , but also really brutally insensitive. Not to be too judgemental or anything.

Maybe some other folks closer to your own age can chime in with a possible weird fix that might fit for you ? Maybe totally embrace this experience and ask one of your fellow residents ?

Cringe cringe ... hey . I'm almost 60 and never went to prom ...
I don't really have any advice , just wanted to say you have been heard and I feel for you .

I'm having a solo burger and soda after a pool therapy time so I'm all full of some positive vibes ... so have some from me .

Psych wards really sound like such awful prisons to me, sounds horrible ending up in there. But it's just the reality that you cannot really trust and rely on other people, humans very often just make existing worse and create more suffering, it's not surprising that those people would do that.
