Just Lost a Friend…
So… apparently I just lost a friend because I have mental issues :(
Idk if I was too stubborn and didn’t want to change, or I opened up too fast too soon, or I said too much, or I was too depressed, or I relied on her too much emotionally… But she’s gone now.
Its like… I have a ton of people who love me, including people I hung out with today, and people on 7Cups… but… it still hurts. And yet… I feel detached. Kinda like an internal shrug. It protects me. And yet, the pain is still there…
@jesusredeemedme2425 you did nothing wrong, it's ok to be yourself, if they can't deal with it then that's on them, not you ❤ you cannot help mental health issues, I understand it's sad though. Some people just can't understand or deal with mental health. I'm so sorry sweetie 😥 I wish I could hug you right now ❤
Family, friends they come and go, due to life's circumstances, there's nothing we can do to change this, so enjoy the time, cherish the memories, while they are part of your life for a while
@jesusredeemedme2425 It hurts cause it was real to you, a tug is felt when one of the threads of connection we hold with people is snapped so suddenly. We can never know what truly goes on with the people who decide to leave, maybe they have their justifications, their own reasons. You haven't moved, you are right where they can find you but they've gone away so how come the burden of the blame be on you?^^ I'm glad you have so many people who cares and are there for you <3

im so sorry that you experienced the loss of a friend. I really hope it wasn’t because you have a mental health issue. No one deserves to lose a friend because they suffer from depression, anxiety. Schitzophrenua, or any other mental illness.
some people choose to leave because it’s easier than learning to cope with their friends illness. Could that be possible with your friend?
im glad you have friends here on Cups who accept you exactly like you are.
