# 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. Relates to: [[Down-Regulating Behaviors]], [[Depression]].
