So angry I could spit

I am so angry at a person who takes total advantage of my bp. I would appreciate any comments on how to overcome these feelings going on inside of me right now. This person is a life-long friend and we had a falling out just a few months ago and I stopped all contact with her. I found out that she is moving back north and felt I should, for my own sanity, make peace with her so I e-mailed and took responsibility for my part in the situation, and wished her well. Well she took the ball and went with it, blaming me for all of her bad feelings and refusing to take responsibility for her own behavior in this . I am furious, please help me with this.

You did the mature, healthy thing when you took responsibility for your actions with regards to the situation. That does not however mean that she is able to do the same, apparently she is not as evolved or in touch with herself and her feelings to reciprocate. Kudos to you for being all you can be...forgive her for her inadequacies and don't expect much...you won't be disappointed

You did a wonderful thing. Now let it be what you wanted it to be. Let it be the peace that you took responsibility for your part and tried to make peace with her. It is her own issues that cause her to blame it all on you. Dont let her control your emotions. Dont give her that control. Back away knowing you did what you intended and she has issues that only she can be responsible for. You cant fix her. You are a wonderful friend and it took courage to do what you did. Give yourself a hug and move on.

She abuses her meds and refuses help. She is very sick and I need to remember that in order to keep my own sanity.

i am soooooooo with shelley on this one... you were the bigger person more than likely on a much more advanced plane of existence than your 'friend'. some people will never reach that plateau. all you can do is pat yourself on the back for not being petty and move on. you did the right thing. give yourself a break. you deserve it.

    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...
