Bio
I have anxiety, depression and an ever evolving eating disorder. when I'm not over-thinking things, i am running, working as a registered dietitian, crafting and walking my 4 year old coonhound Elaine. I may be down at times but I always try to see some kind of positive in every situation and I just use a LOT of sarcasm.

...See more Hi! So just as background I am a mid-20's female and the oldest of 4 kids . I live alone with my dog about 1.5-2 hours from my family. I live just far enough away that nether my family or I want to drive back an for a lot, so I only see them on the weekends and I miss them. My mom has a habit of making plans with me and then having to cancel because something (not under her control, i.e. work or a flat tire) gets in her way. This mooring we were supposed to see each other and hang out (time that I really treasure) and she got a flat tire and could not see me. This is the third time in a row (and like 10th time overall) something like this has happened and we have had to reschedule. I broke down crying this morning because I felt so lonely and abandoned. I know it wasn't her fault but it still makes me VERY upset (and I have told her this and she knows and apologized a lot) but it still hurts me and makes me feel like the world is stealing my mom from me. Also when this happens I end up spending the whole day alone which only worsens my level of depression. Does anyone have any advice on this situation and how to not be so lonely and feel so abandoned? I feel like I am alone and no one understands me as it is, and now the world is trying to take my mom-time away from me too, which only makes me feel more alone and lost in the world. Please help.
