I have tried making friends online but these friendships never seem to end well. I can't talk to friends or family or anyone I know in person about my issues.
Does anyone have any tips or know of any alternatives to get support during hard times?
Thanks

I'm sorry that you don't have a network of friends or family to support you in your time of need. Sometimes, when I'm feeling stressed, I like to do something that I enjoy to get my mind off my problems. Play a game, draw or paint something, listen to music, whatever.
On the subject of hobbies and interests, I'm sure there's a class or group at your local community center that you can take that might interest you, and you might make some friends in the process. Just an idea.
