Hi Carol

Well the thing is that not everyone with depression acts in this way.

She has had boyfriends in the past with depression and never treated you in this way.

No matter how she justifies treating you in this way doesn’t make it right.

If you don’t want to seek closure because of your friend’s depression and just let go. That is perfectly okay.

If you want to seek closure that is perfectly okay too.

You are the kind of person who cares about others. You will not overstep and go too far. You do deserve to have your feelings heard. Whether that is here, by a friend or speaking to your friend that hurt you.

You naturally empathise with others. It’s not going to stop. But you do owe yourself empathy as well. Your pain over losing your best friend is equally important as the pain of your friends depression. Some may say that your feelings are more important because you have a responsibility to take care of yourself and your needs.

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
