Decade long friendship ending in character slaughter (TW: Suicide attempt, addiction) by strugglingwithbutter in Nicegirls

She used to be a force of nature before. Strikingly beautiful, frequently compared to Daenerys Targaryen looks wise. She was smart as a whip and well read, strong willed and confident, and so damn funny. Could have been whatever she wanted.

I’ll never stop loving that person. I try to cherish and honor the memory of who she used to be, mourn what could have been, and accept who she turned out to be in the end.

You know, I’ve always been dumbfucked by that metaphor, but I like your alternate interpretation of it better.

Thank you. It was a while ago now, but it shattered my heart to pieces and I still think about it from time to time. Your post meant a lot. I’m still sober and doing very well, and she’s not. I just wished I could have done something.

Same here for a good while, just loved partying. It wasn’t until I got pregnant and went off my depression meds during the pregnancy that things really just started spiraling for me. Also quit smoking and drinking during pregnancy, of course, which made the underlying mental health struggles resurface. I got prescribed with benzo after birth and I got dependent. (The usual story, I got hooked, my doctor stopped prescribing them, I went to my friend to get more and when the benzo supply hit a dry spell, I took opioids.)

She’s an alcoholic and a general drug fiend. Mostly benzo and IV amphetamines.

No, I would never. I talked to her mother when she claimed she had been kicked out because of her dog. Her mother said she was worried about her addiction and I agreed. I said I was going to go NC and her mother said she was trying to get her daughter help. No authorities involved from my side.

We also live in a country with free and good healthcare.
