Another good question? Britt..?

I think guys, we are delving to deep into his personal problems and you are not going to get answers to 'why no friends' 'why no money' because basically Britt is in a bad place right now and probably wants to 'feel' those things are real, and could be exactly far from it. Britt doesn't know he has friends. That's why he is here.

I say, here we go again. For some of the posters who mean well, we are digging and although meaning well for Britt's problems, it is not a good way to respond to him.

IMO tick

Britt come back and talk to us. OK... Let us know you are all right? Let us help.

I don't believe it. Britt is tougher than you give him credit for. He knows what we are up to. He'll be back. He's even beginning to like it here. He knows we will be honest with him.

Sorry to disagree - if nobody cared, nobody would ask.

And if you mean me, yes, I mean well and, yes, I would like to know why he feels so alone and isolated. If asking him means he has to think about "it" and share some of his experiences, thus opening up, I think it's good.

Of course, I only minored in Psychology so who knows -

I have a master's in psych and have counseled real people. He'll be back. He knows we want to help. And this site has a good rep for helping people.

No psychology degree here, I just care, that's all I have to offer.

Britt, I really hope you come back, realize that we're all here eager to talk to you, to listen to you, to help you through this rough spot.

We can't help if you don't let us. Obviously you want the help, otherwise you wouldn't have reached out. Well we're here now, and we won't let it go. We care too much about what happens to you to simply walk away.

What do you have to lose by talking to us? Nothing. Why not give it a try?

Britt.. No one is going to be judgmental. We care about you. If you want help... really want help... then you'll have to show us you do.. by letting us know what we can do to help you... Kit

Hello everyone sorry I left so abrubt last time didn't want to discuss religion I am coping so far, pills help I won't put anyone in a bad spot by discussing suicide I apologize for that

Oftentimes, getting "out of ourselves" and looking at ourselves in a different way is a way for healing to begin.

The problem lies though, in being able to get "out of ourselves".

Oftentimes also, the best mirror is the eye of a friend.

Just my thoughts for right now...

Everyone is so curious I am 48 years old from Canada not much education good with technology not trained in it though. No friends all our friends when I was married jumped ship and won't associate with me due to rumours my ex has been spreading. She is bad mouthing me to everyone kids friends everyone.

Most of my friends were through marriage and the men have stuck to their wife's because of my ex spreading rumours

I am so alone and beaten down don't think I have enough fight in me to carry on its hard

Its hard to find work I have slept in the park and in my truck many nights

It amazes me that strangers can be kinder than people who you thought were close to you

Certainly Canada has social services to help put a roof over your head plus food to eat, etc. I will PM some Canadian experts to wander over here to throw in their two cents.

We were even talking about you and worrying about you when you weren't here. Now, tell us kind of where you are in Canada.
