Bio

My name is Bree. There is not much to me. I enjoy reading and science fiction. Most of my friends (not many by the way) will tell me im a nerd and a geek. I have issues with depression but am living one day at a time and doing an okay job at it I like to think.

...See more I don't have many friends or support. My boyfriend (who i live with and been with for about 15 years) has been becoming more distant with me. We live together but hardly see each other anymore he is on the couch most of the time (when he is not working) and he asked me to move into the spare bedroom about a year ago cause he said i talk in my sleep so it would be better for both of us. I dont really mind having my own room and not sleeping with him its kind of nice but cause of this move our sex life has suffered. I have attempted to talk to him about it cause although sex is not everything it is impacting me he is blaming it on his age (he is much older than me) and basically just tells me to be quiet when i bring it up. We do still go grocery shopping together but thats about it since the lockdowns happened he has become a home body and not want to go out unless we have to. I miss going to the park and conventions and stuff but he has no interest in that anymore. My only other friend lives 8 hours away from me we talk online almost daily but he is going through some really bad health problems and i dont want to bother him with my depression. I am having a hard time dealing with it i been sleeping more than i should and i dont like it i dont know what to do to make myself feel better, I have been trying to make more local friends that might want to do things with me but cause of my social anxity even this has been a struggle. I just dont know what to do.

...See more Hello everyone, So the last couple months have been a roller-coaster for me, I have a very good friend that's suffering from end stage renal failure and attempting to be surrportive for him has been hard for me. On top of that I have been having some mild health issues of my own that i been struggling with getting my doctor to actually listen to me and do something about. I been having a harder and harder time getting out of bed or finding the joys i did in life. I have forced myself to go out on my daily walks so i can at least get some sunshine before it starts to get cold again but even this is hard for me to do. What do yall do to get motivited when life has you down?

...See more about 2 weeks ago my best friend called me to let me know he was in ICU his kidneys gave out and he had to go on emergency dialysis although upset by this (both him and i) he remained in okay headspace meaning he was just looking forward to going home and continuing treatments. (they told him most likely he will be on dialysis for the rest of his life unless he gets a transplant which he wont do from anyone living cause he does not want anyone risking surgery for him). He was released from hospital a week tomorrow and is meeting with his kidney doctor(s) before his treatment. However a few days ago he called me and said Bree I just want to let you know I am thinking of denying treatment cause i cant deal with the tiredness and brain fog. This of course sent me into a deep dark hole. I am doing my best to remain strong for him and told him to please wait till he meets with his doctor to maybe go over other types of dialysis before making the choice to go off it and well pass away. I want to go see him in person but he moved away from me a few years ago all the way across country (and if that was not bad enough his wife who i do talk to and am friendly with prefers I stay away and allow this to be family time). However like 3 days ago he did say he decided to stay on treatments that myself and his family mean to much to him to give up which made me happy to hear. However today he is back to saying how he does not know if he can take it any longer and has not talked to me much also said he is really depressed. I dont know what to say to him I just want him to get better at least as much as he can and would really love it if he would allow myself, his wife and his other friend to test our kidneys. The only light i see is tomorrow he sees his doctor and am hoping he will take my advice and ask him about other forms of dialysis. I just dont know what to do i have never been in a spot like this before. He was there with me every step of the way when i had thyroid cancer and i just want to return the favor for saving my life and feel so helpless i cant do anything.
