Feeling Ignored When Sharing Problems

Yeah I do too, but honestly it helps me to get things out and if they didnt care they would tell you, or make it obvious they aren't interested.

I do the same thing, even with my wife I feel like she’s heard it all, it took her years to believe I have been in crazy pain and even after 46 surgeries it seems like she still thinks I shouldn’t be taking one thing or another. As far as friends go, I have very few because of my issues even though I rarely talk about them unless asked, I don’t even know anymore it just seems like I’m standing still watching the world go right on passed in high speed. I can’t keep up with anything.

Constantly. I feel like they don't understand or even try to. I tend to get the "everyone is dealing with something" treatment. So other than my counselor no

Yes, it's a big reason why I don't usually talk about my problems to anyone but my counselor, med provider or my bipolar group. It's just disappointing to share problems but not get the feedback or comfort I need so I don't waste my time anymore.
