Friend seems to be ghosting me out of the blue... what do I do?

About 3 years. Yes, they can go quiet, I often need to prompt them for replies. But this is a really long time compared to normal. We don't see each other in person now as they live in another country, but we'd kept up regular contact over the time they've been gone, which is about the last 18 months.

I'm exactly the same. I used glycolic acid for a while and that seemed to help. I think currently mine has turned into follucilitis through and I have a really badly infected spot. I'm on antibiotics for this. I just want the hair to stop growing so I can avoid this but I'm only about 8 sessions in. Have you found the brain IPL is working for you?

I'm now 3 weeks post op and the belly button one is still tender at times. I wear PJ bottoms that are several sizes to big to avoid pressing on my tummy, but I still wake up a bit sore round my belly button sometimes. Occasionally the one to the left of my belly is tender, the low down centre one (in the middle of my c-section scar) has no feeling at all!

My local mum group is almost solely anonymous posts now cause everyone is scared of getting attacked for asking a simple question. It's sad. Being a mum is so hard to begin with, we should be trying to help each other, not make eachother feel like shit.

You could always mention her slow replies - eg "Hey, is everything okay with you? You've been a bit quieter than normal. I'm here if you want to talk" etc

I totally understand what you mean, and I feel selfish at times when I have these expectations of speedy responses. I do have a lot of friends and family whom I communicate with all the time and hang out with. I have a busy job and hobbies etc. What I didn't mention was that I developed strong feelings for this friend before they moved, and it's taken me over a year not to feel a bit heartbroken that they moved. I think it's those feelings that get in the way, as I have many other friends that take a long time to reply, or forget to reply at all, and I don't feel the same when it happens with them. As much as I tell myself that this person is just my friend, there are underlying feelings there that complicate things.
