# Disconnected from Friends and Family
#social #connecting #family #friends #frustration
- I have basically no social network or social safety net besides [[What I love about F.K.]]
- I'm incredibly disappointed in my "friends" that weren't there when my mother died and who don't check in at all after me telling them about my mental health issues.
- I tried to actively stay in touch in the last 3 years and have gotten zero consistent responses.
- "If I had a broken leg, friends would call to check in. But having depression, no one calls. Am I making my problems up?"
- My father has certainly (I'm gonna ask) not done any reading up on ADHD
- My family and friends are not the audience to spread awareness about mental health.
