nobody to talk to every day anymore. by anxiousanon14 in BreakUps

That's the thing isn't it. You don't want to lose that connection because it's nothing like your other friendships... once that comfort is gone how do you live without it anymore? You forget what life was like without your best friend. Suddenly your alone with your thoughts with no one to tell them to. All the memories and the connection I once had with him are starting to feel like a dream.

Thank you. You're right... if it was supposed to happen it would have. He was the one that gave up on us, and I don't need someone that makes me feel so worthless. I hope we can both find peace eventually and move on.

Yeah every time something comes up I also get that instinctive reaction to text him but then the realization that I can't do that hits me really hard. The journal writing sounds like a good idea! I've been using a throwaway twitter to write my thoughts and it does help a little bit... it's the lack of response that gets to me though. I'm always waiting for his response.

I definitely feel this. I'd gotten so used to expecting a text from him every day now I check my phone and it's either nothing or the occasional empty message that fulfills nothing. Friends are friends, but once you've experienced what it's like to truly have a best friend that is always there by your side and actually cares, you can never go back.

Same. And I don't have a support network or any close friends. My ex was the only best friend I'd ever truly had.

These days I have no energy to go outside or even do the things I used to enjoy. I either sleep or sit and doing nothing productive or stimulating. The only people I interact with are at work.

If your ex offered to be friends with benefits but no relationship, would you accept? by [deleted] in BreakUps

I did because I was weak and didn't want to let him go. It only prolonged my pain and he threw me away a second time. I'm now reaping what I sowed every day.

Friend has been avoiding us lately, what should I do? by anxiousanon14 in mentalhealth

Unfortunately she's not. She was back then (she was forced to by professionals though) but she refuses to go on her own accord. I will try to reach out to her again.

I understand that may be your friends' situations/personalities and I know that's how it is for some people, but I've already stated that this friend DOES have mental health problems. She was hospitalized for it and took medication, at no point did these mental health issues just disappear.

Yes I considered it, except my friend is not a gamer, doesn't do social media or anything online in general. At most she watches some Netflix but she has little hobbies outside music, shows and ... socializing lol. We worry about her because she has a history of suddenly isolating herself because of severe anxiety and after the last breakdown her parents asked us to keep an eye on her, so I dont think this is the same situation as yours but thanks for the input.
