My friends haven’t responded to any of my texts in the group chat (I asked when we should hang out next) other than one person who said “I ain’t got the answers sway.”

We haven’t really hung out since I got out of rehab and I’m questioning whether or not they’re my friends to be honest. They don’t reach out or even respond when I do half the time and have greatly slashed our time together since I stopped using drugs. I can’t tell if they’re just busy and it’s bad timing or if they’re ditching me.

I’m very lonely and alienated from my community for being a communist and an ex-drug user. I don’t live in a big city (Midwest USA) and so there’s really nobody else for me to hang out with or find. Most people here are super right-wing and/or have different interests than me.

What to do other than relapse on heroin and die? Maybe I’m dramatic I just feel alone

    How important do you think it is to focus on the basics of society, for a moment? Figure out food, shelter, transportation, fun/social and sleep, for example. In which order to tackle sustainability in those areas?

      Pretty important, I would say. Focusing on those areas can help alleviate feelings of helplessness or alienation as well. Is your basic security at risk here? Do you have shelter, income for food, etc?

        I’m not the OP, I’m asking because I was never in a similar situation, so any advice coming from me would be sketchy at minimum, that’s why I thought about asking.
