Hi I'm new & posted my 1st post at wrong place

Hi, I'm a newbie here and I try and read helpful comments & forum topics. I have ADHD, the milder form of manic depressive, complex PTSD, anxiety, & depression. I'm 54. I started noticing depression symptoms when I graduated from college. I realized I couldn't show ppl a paper with straight A's anymore or be the best at a school task. A boy I hoped to date told me not to ever get fat and guess what...yep, I gained 30 lbs. I for some reason, have never met anyone with a similar diagnosis. All the friends I've had have always been pretty normal. Or at least they won't share??!!  I have always spilled my guts to people trying to get acceptance for why I'm so weird. Of course, a lot of them are just weirded out & don't know what to do with my info. I mainly just counseled & took meds for depression & eventually anxiety in the past 24 years. The PTSD diagnosis was just given to me in the past 3-4 years. ADHD in the past 8 years. I still haven't found what I've always wanted..a close friend who would try & understand & encourage me. Most friends just take advantage of my people pleaser personality.
I'm always hurt and angry when friends don't treat me as well as I would have treated them. Then I go into flashback and it will take a week or longer to feel better but I still don't know what I should expect from people nor how to Stan up for myself when I feel slighted.
I hope by reading more of your stories I will get a renewed sense of hope and learn how to be kind but still not just allow disrespectful behavior from others. And not feel as though I need to drop every person that has upset me several times.
Thanks for listening

I posted my introduction as a reply to someone else's post. I hope this is the right way to do this?!
