A Toxic Friend During My Time of Mourning
Hey, I'm Jay, it is my second day on the app and I'm going through some things. I lost my uncle and my adopted mother which is my birth mom's partner and I am now losing my grandfather. 1 was due to Alzheimer's, one was due to a heart attack, and the last one is because his organs are failing at 94 years old. In this endeavor to get out of the depression side of my bipolar, then a friend had to go to the hospital for his bipolar and let's just say his a choice that could've cost me another loss. Yesterday I felt better from the group chat but I then discovered I had to get my friend some help and he's in another state, so I sent my other friend to go check on him while waiting to hear the ambulance picked him up for a hospital trip. My relationship with this friend is greatly affected by this girl who keeps raising him up just to break his heart. This affects our relationship because he's happy go lucky and then he becomes a moody and jealous person. I barely have a family left and I'm unhappy in life but he seems to be a pyshcic vampire and a fairweather friend. Things become alright for a little bit, and then they're not. This is where I'm at today. I'm depressed because I'm heartbroken, losing people, have lost 2 others this year and I've had 28 losses in 26 years of my life. All I have to say is I see the dignity and worth of every person and that they have an inherent potential to do good in life. That is why I could never make such choices where I let the situation just be uncared for. I gave him a hotline and I told him about this app to get him some support but I don't know if I need to toxicity of his actions and reactions that are unreasonable at times like making me answer with my opinion when I tell him my opinion shouldn't matter to him. The list goes on and on. Sorry for a ranting check-in.

Hello, If I had passed all this losses, and all that situations you mention, I would have no possitive energy left to try to help a friend. That you want to help him shows a lot of kindness on your part. Its awesome.
I hope you can pass this part of your life to get better times, with more happiness. Hugs.
