Today, it's been a week since I've been in hospital. No one has been to visit me. The nurses have nicknamed me "The Lonely One." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I'm in the hospital and it's been 44 hours since I've eaten anything. My doctors won't let me eat and my parents are sitting across the room, eating. FML
Today, the guy I've been seeing posted on social media about having relationship problems and arguments with his girl. I've been in the hospital for surgery for the past few days and have been unable to talk to him. Before this, he told me I was the only one. Guess not. FML
Today, I'm home alone and it blows, especially since my wife has to stay at the hospital to get chemo, and I can't stay with her. FML
Today, I feel very lost. I have been in and out of psych wards so much. It's so bad, the ER nurse knows me as "the AI coder guy" and the people in the mental health wards know me by first name, and have a "welcome back" thing each time. It's so embarrassing. FML
Today, after I've been nauseous for a week straight, barely eating or sleeping, I was going to see my doctor. She then called in sick and I can't get an appointment for another week. FML
Today, my mother was transferred from the hospital to a long-term care facility. Nobody I talk to at the hospital knows what facility they sent her to. FML
Today, I was supposed to be enjoying a long-anticipated, desperately needed, weekend away. Turns out those "little stomach twinges" were actually symptoms of appendicitis. I'm stuck in the hospital, alone, recovering from surgery, while my family is enjoying our non-refundable break. FML
Today, I'm in the hospital for a broken hip and cerebral hemorrhage, bedridden with a continuous headache. My roommate has dementia and shouts and cries all day about a hospital conspiracy where everybody is drinking tea all the time except her. This will be a long month. FML
Today, I hate fucking existing. I could literally die right now and know one would ever even check on me for months. I’ve literally gone 4 months with no work, locked in my house the whole time, and never received a text, phone call, or a knock at the door. Not a single person thought about me. FML
Today, my best friend of 12 years traveled cross country to help me recover from major surgery. I've been sitting in the hospital by myself while she has sex in my empty apartment with some guy she met. FML

What about your family?! In any case, dont assume it's bc people don't care about you. My friend had cancer and I only went to see her once (although we kept in touch other ways) because my life was hectic at the time and her hospital was over an hour away with no convenient bus routes (I couldn't drive yet) but I still cared.

You think that sucks? I had the bunions on both of my feet repaired over the summer. I was in crutches for 5 weeks for each foot and another 3 weeks each limping without crutches. Only one friend bothered to stop by that entire time.

Don't fret OP, it could simply be that your true friends just don't want to be a bother and font visit do that you can get the rest you need to get healthy, or they simply may think you don't want any visitors. I know personally when I'm in the hospital I tend to look like shit and although it doesn't b

Got cut off, I was trying to finish by saying although it doesn't bother me personally many people are self conscious about how the look/smell(especially if it is a stonach issue)when stuck in a hospital bed and your friends may not want you to be embarrassed and would prefer to check up on you once your home. Or maybe there planning a huge welcome home party

Think about it this way: At least there is nobody around to watch you spout obscene gibberish thanks to some very powerful painkillers. I've been in that position more than a few times.

I have been in and out of hospital my whole life,the longest stay being around 5 weeks after a major op. I had to learn to walk again after it and was very cranky as I was in constant pain. My mum and dad visited at times and the ward sister would sometimes dress me and take me to the lovely little hospital church or push me around in my chair in the grounds. I filled any loneliness I had by climbing in my chair and visiting other wards to talk to people. The old woman in one ward loved it. This happened when I was 11
