• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I lost my best friend because of my illness, I must be a monster, I yelled at him and stuff because it took him so long to write me and wouldn't tell me what was up, he came back, got mad at me and left again, he always stops writing me for awhile if I upset him, its really harming me, I say I am sorry, even when I am not wrong. He hardly ever says he is sorry when he is mean

Aww hun, :hug: One of the most difficult things I've had to deal with is knowing that I have hurt someone with my outbursts. I have hurt my momma on more than one occasion. (Mostly when this illness first hit full-blown) and yet, she knew I didn't mean to. My best friend since I was a very small child, she has gotten upset with me when I've done something stupid, yet I didn't mean to, but she knows that deep down inside I'll always love her.
I'm sure your friend will come around and realize that you don't mean your actions. And when someone is reluctant to say they're sorry, I am one that always brings it to their attention. In a nice way I let them know that something they've done, said, or not done or not said has really hurt my feelings. That usually opens their eyes to why my behaviour sometimes gets all boo-radily.
Praying for you,
:hug:'s and :angel: :kiss:es!!

God Bless You,

You know I truly can relate. I tend to get outbursts from time to time and usually hurt those who are the closest to me. I like you say sorry alot and tend to overcompensate, but you know if you are sincere your loved ones will know and they will forgive you. Your friend I believe is hurt and just needs time away. I pray that you will have peace and that when your friend writes again that you will be able to mend your relationship once again. You know God is good and He is so forgiving and we must learn to do the same, amen.

Don't beat yourself up too much. You sound like a very caring person and you obviously love your friend. Give them time they will write and I bet you will have a lot to catch up on.

Ruby Moon, talk with anyone and everyone that you love. You don't even need to tell them of your hurt. My thought is that the good energy that these people share with you is something that you can use in order to cope and to even overcome, with time.

I had this friend in High school. Her name was Dawn and she and I talked for hours every night on the phone. she told me every night that it would be ok, Stephen. Everything has a way of working itself out in the long run. I hated her many nights, but what I have found over time, is that she was so very right. The world has a balance that has nothing to do with you and I. Things really DO work themselves out.

For me, keeping GOD and my faith in good order, as well as believing that pain is not forever and loving my friends and Family in the way that I do, has brought me to a better place in my own life. :) :groupray:

Take care. Your CF friends are thinking of you.

Stephen
