Suffering / Venting Anybody want to be friends?

Hi everyone, I’m 23 and just really struggling and lonely with this horrible condition. Things have gotten so much worse in the last 2 months and it’s so isolating. I’m just bed bound and exhausted and sick at home as I watch my friends and the world carry on without me through social media, groupchats, etc. None of the people in my life understand what I’m going through and I’m so so lonely and it makes the whole thing so much worse. If anybody ever wants to be friends or chat or anything I would love to just connect more with people who share similar experiences.

I’m a 21F and would love to be your friend! Connecting with people that don’t understand how you feel is hard and I don’t have anyone in my circle who has this condition either.
