    This year (2020) I have experienced the loss of every friendship I had been relying on for companionship, reprieve from my toxic household, and connection. My best friend of 10+ years ended our friendship in October over a fight about making plans that I had nothing to do with. This drama happened so many times this year that I no longer feel like I am able to fix the relationship. My other two girl friends ghosted me after I followed one of their boyfriends on instagram (and they attacked me for it and cut me off). My only guy friend (my coworker) blocked me on all social media accounts on my 21st birthday, which was very painful for me. I had recently rejected him romantically but I had invested years into our friendship. I think he chose to cut me off on my birthday to hurt me on purpose, and that felt even worse because I would never do anything like that to him. A guy I was seeing told me "I can't make you happy I would only hurt you" after going on dates for a few months. And lastly, a girl I had met through work a few years back with whom I used to hangout with weekly slowly faded me this fall, until I never heard from her again. Clearly, the common denominator is me, and I desperately want to find out what I am doing wrong and where I've gone wrong. I know my depression has impacted a lot, but I've made concerted efforts not to burden my friendships with my depression and always focused on being in a positive mindset around others.
    Additionally, my parents separated when I was 9. The divorce wasn't finalized until I was 14. I am the oldest of 3 children. As a result, I saw a lot of things that my younger sisters did not, and I was placed in the unique position of surrogate mother / housewife in the absence of our real mother. This caused a shattering effect on my psyche I am still trying to piece together today. My dad never remarried, never dated, and he emotionally shut down. He is a doctor. My mother is emotionally unavailable and bounces in and out of my life. Now at 21, I have had the ability to reflect on my childhood and see that my mother was not the only monster in my childhood. Both of my parents were emotionally unavailable, although my mom was an overt narcissistic type with her own trauma, my father was passive and allowed my emotionally abusive mother to step all over his children. As the oldest child, I have had to bear each parent pitting one against the other, weaponizing information, and triangulation. I have learned stand up for my boundaries but I am now the black sheep of the family. I am the outcast, the family reject, the one who doesn’t fit in. I am uncomfortable in my own home and I cannot breathe in my father’s house. As a college student, I was not supported by my father in my college aspirations and am currently living at home paying for school by myself. I hold resentment for both parents. I raised myself.
    I thought I was turning a new leaf connection wise this year, but I have lost everyone I ever cared about outside of my family. I am truly at a loss of how to make new friends / connections now that I have been rejected so many times. I feel like a shell of myself in the wake of these losses, and on top of more losses I have had to recover from within the past 2 years (ex boyfriend, career ending sports injuries and surgery, realizing I have never had an emotionally available mother, severe depression and anhedonia since childhood, etc).
    I don't know what to do or where to go I am a college student trapped in a toxic house and my classes next semester are all online again. I feel like I have nothing going for me. I can't see the way out. I have no support. I have been in hell for as long as I can remember even as a child I was severely anhedonic depressed and crying myself to sleep

      Thank you for sharing your pain. You do have a lot that has gone wrong. And the other hand you are only 21 (I am 71) and you have lots of time to experience healing in your life. The first step would be to find a really good therapist or counselor who can be an advocate and who could validate and support you and your pain.

      C C you have basically wrote my entire life so far, except I cannot work and I had to accept my parents projects for university. As result, I enrolled in a university I had no intention to attend, studying things I hate and inevitably failing semesters and semesters of exams, which exacerbates the abuse I was already enduring previously. Sometimes I pray some angel come and take my soul, because Idk if I cant do this anymore.

    I'm having depression and anxiety attacks for about a year now, and from 6 months I started smoking cigarettes and I can't stop because if I didn't smoke my anxiety and depression increases a lot till I can't breathe and my body shakes, I went to a psychiatrist but this didn't help much, only gave me some coping techniques and awareness and talking therapy..... That's it but I'm not getting better + do you recommend me to start taking medications???
