psychiatrist said that and everyone who i have told agrees

everyone i know says not to have anything to do with him, he has issues and whilst i try to keep being his friend he is always going to do this to me

i am so depressed

So after yesterdays argument there has been no contact.

I have to admit I am shattered. I don’t even know why he gets this hate thing with me. Most days he is over the top but when he gets down he is such a smart arse.

Everyone says he is a toxic parasite but he is my best friend

I suppose in time it will heal but today feel absolutely rotten

yes it sounds ridiculous i feel like i am not good enough, if i am good enough why does he need someone else

i was with him yesterday and he said he loves us both equally

Thanks for the advice Inky and Anita

Anita, I probably have had these feelings before with a close friend about 20 years ago. My friend is very complex and at times down so I go into a counselling role with him. I know its not my job to do that but I am always there for him. He has bipolar and can’t see his way through sometimes and I always seem to make him think differently.

I feel like I will be lonely without him. Honestly that has not happened but it is a real big fear playing on my behalf.

I feel like if he is with other people that I am not good enough.

Have been with him now for 2 days in a row. We get along really well (usually)

I saw my psychiatrist today, he said that I have to live with these feelings of abandonment. They are not real and I need to see them through. The past predicts the future. I feel that the friendship will end but this has obviously not happened.
