Journal Entry for June 27, 2008 Mood
Friday, June 27, 2008
AHHHHHHHhh..... i have been in the worst moods lately. My best friend has gained a little weight over this past year and she looks great but she is complainng how she thinks she is fat and how i make her feel bad about herself and blah blah blah. Anyway that is really REALLY really triggering to me and i dont know waht to do about it. Once we start talking about my ED it always ends up bad becasue she just makes me feel horrible. She calls me names in a joking way but it hurts and it makes me feel even worse, she wants to support me but she doesnt know how and she makes things so much worse. It sucks becasue she is my best friend a nd has been since i was seven. I have told her before that her comments hurt and are triggering but when i say that she gets all defensive and shit and just gets pissed. its been really hard to hang oit with her lately and i dont knwo what to do.... i need help anyone have any suggestions??

    hey i think u should talk to her about how her comments are making u feel! i think shes doing this cos she is obviously a little insecure about the weight she has gained

    you need to look after yourself first. if she is triggering you then you need to talk to her about it. if after that she doesn't respect that & keeps triggering you then i think you may want to think about having some time out from that friendship. friends are meant to support each other. but on the other hand isolating yourself isn't a great idea either - but i know you have heaps of other friends & family who respect you & don't trigger your ED. you need to look after yourself! xx
