So..give me what ya got...any form..song..poem..word..anything..
I am not suicidal or any thing of the sort. I was just caught up in a very emotional, unhealthy situation between two friends and feel trapped by it. I am at my wits end. I feel like I should be a better friend..but I just don't think it's healthy for me. I know the response will be "Take care of yourself" but there is history and it's just not that easy sometimes, ya know.
This is kind of a crazy post but my nerves are shot..lol and I think you guys are used to that sort of thing so u'll work through it lol :)

Thanks.

It is hard not to be involved when it is two friends. You don't say what the problem is so hard to tell you what to do. You could just let them know it isn't fair to put you in the middle.

It's called triangling. Once you remove yourself from it, it will fall apart. Picture a triangle without one side. But you really have to stay out of it. can't help you with much inspiration right now i don't have it in me.

poetry? read my newest journal entry. It has a lot to do with bp. Symbolically of course, but still about my personal journey with bp.

awe phoenix, there is nothing worse than being that base of a triangle. I would let your friends know that this is something between the two of them an the burden it is putting on you emotionally really hurts. They need to realize its unfair to put you in the middle.

Just stay strong... I would tell my friends, "My name's Bennett and I aint innit!" lol... Seriously though... I would let them know that you are both their friend, that you are there to listen to them vent, but please do not put me in the middle or ask me to choose...

Honestly, because I'm me, I'd just stop communicating. I'd take their calls, I just wouldn't be placing any of my own.
And here's something that stops people in their tracks. If anyone says anything negative about anybody else..respond by almost ignoring what was said and state something that you think is great about the target person.
without nastiness, just refuse to take part in any drama.
It's always so easy to find the fault in anyone...but it's far more fun and uplifting to point out the positive.

You do deserve a break at times though. Take care of yourself friend, and don't lose hope.

I have lived my whole life for others and all I have gotten in return is pain. I say live life they way you want and help others only at the nonexpense of yourself.

Being stuck between two friends suck. But I agree with #1, maybe you should let them know how you feel, I mean you are not just their friends, they are YOUR friends too, right? So they should at least consider how this may be affecting you. Take Care.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
