My sister got on facebook and unfriended every member of our mom's side of the family. It sounds awfully silly and overdramatic, but she got her message across- she's done with us.
In a way, I'm really mad that she's got this attitude that all we've ever done is hurt her- because Lord knows I have tried and tried to fix whatever it is I did wrong.
But then...I keep thinking of all the things I did do wrong, and I feel like I should have done more to fix things.
I dunno. I feel so very strange today.

Okay, I am probably going to say something that is going to be really unpopular. Sometimes you have to look at these situations from the other side for a little more perspective. Arwen you come across as depressed most of the time I see you in chat or when I read some of your posts. I am not making light of it, just how I see it. The problem with being around someone who always seems to be in a state of depression is that you don't necessarily know how to respond to them, and truthfully being around a depressed person in emotionally draining. Unless you have been through it, you can't relate to it. So it is easier, for the other person, to just stay away, because they don't know how to respond. I mean no response seems good enough or seems to help when trying to connect to a person who seems depressed. It is not an excuse for how other people treat one another, just a point to consider. I also say this as someone who felt similar isolation for an extended period because simply put I don't think people knew how to approach me when I went through it.
I also learned in the process that I ccouldn't focus on the ones who weren't coming around or the ones who I thought were "disappointing" me. I had to focus on the others; the ones who loved me and who were there at the moment. If you go looking for disappointment, that is all you will find.

I just want to say that I've seen Arwen in chat a few times and she didn't seem depressed to me and I'm not just saying that. She seemed alert and focused to me. People who are depressed won't even come on mic and cam and she has. I personally think the problem with making and keeping friends is more an issue of others being 'in the world', friends who don't want you if you can't/won't do things that are hip and popular or fit in with their lifestyles.
Arwen, I already know you would be a great friend and it sucks that genuinely good people get cast aside by those who care more about being popular than about having real friendships.

Sorry for being such a downer. Guess I should just brighten up. I don't care what people think of me. Perhaps, I use CC as an outlet to express my emotions that aren't so neat. It is a journal of thoughts that maybe we can connect with each other. THIS is why I made the thread for everyone. If you think that I am constantly like that, well I'm not. You don't know me. You don't know the circumstances to which those friendships ended. BUT putting blame on my depression, that I am a burden to other people and that's why they left, is inappropriate.
arwen,
When you come back we'll be here. Just let us know it's you. Sounds like your enemy's been taking pot shots at you again. Don't let him win.
Don't believe it; this is completely not biblical.
Yeah, that's pretty crappy. I hope he remembers what a good friend you have been and you guys get things patched up soon.

Good morning Jesus and those who Love Him! I so enjoy awaking everyday in the Bosom of my Loving Daddy and hearing his heart beat as my head is on His Mighty Chest and the First Words He tells me every day are "I Love You So Much" Oh if I was any more joy filled by the Holy Spirit of Jesus I'd POP hAAHaaAAAA!!
