I have lost plenty of friends as a result of my mental illness and just thinking about it hurts. Just know you are not the only one who has gone through this. I turn to God for He alone fully understands and will never forsake me.
I know you have posted before about feeling you were on the edge of suicide. I so hope you don't do that. Just know I am here for you anytime you need to vent. I have suffered depression plenty and know some of what you are going through. Please don't give up. I will be your friend.

OMG....I lost my BEST friend about 4 years ago because of my behaviors..stress level...etc....she said it was making her exhausted and hurting her health. IT DESTROYED ME. I actually texted her today...and all I did was cry at her response..said she thinks about me all the time - YEA OK.

I'm so sorry for your loss...its truly like a death.....IT IS. Please don't think your alone...I ALWAYS thought I was alone, until I read YOUR post JUST NOW. I felt like such a LOSER....LIKE WORTHLESS...and REALLY SICK....

I was thinking...really...I'm that CRAZY that my BEST friend LEFT ME???? It hurts....I'm so, so sorry.

I lost my best friend ten years ago because of my illness. We had been friends for 25 years. She named her daughter after me. Her kids were like my own. I tried reconciling with her but she wanted nothing to do with me. The pain I felt was unbearable. It's not only a loss but a rejection. I'm sorry you are feeling this too. Please understand its not your fault. Some people aren't strong enough to cope with what you have to cope with. Reach out to others who can. DS is a good starting place. Hugs to you sweetie.
