I'm lost right now. For one thing I don't have the antidepressants I normally take because my doctor isn't refilling them no matter how much I badger her or get the pharmacy to badger her. That doesn't help my state on mind.

My other major problem is I just lost my best friend because he said he didn't want to see me or talk to me anymore. This was a friend I have known for about 2 years now. We dated for 3 months before he broke it off but until last week we've been close friends ever since.

His reasoning was that he said we had changed and that he hadn't liked our relationship for a long time. Kinda vague and I couldn't get him to explain any deeper than that. Also kinda seems like a go-to response when you don't know what else to say. He never took me off of Facebook or Snapchat either, which raised a few questions in my mind about whether he's really sure about this decision.

So I don't know what to do. This guy meant everything to me, and dating or not I cherished his friendship beyond value. I miss him so much already and I wish he would talk to me again.....

I don't think I have any helpful advice to give you. I'm pushing away the only friends I have that understand me. But since he didn't take you off his social media, try getting in touch with him through that. Just tell him you want to have a serious talk. You've been friends for a long time, you deserve that much right? Tell him that.

In reference to your medication, if you still feel that you need it. change to another doctor. I agree with J-Winchester5. Contact your ex-friend through social media. Good luck.

With the medication issue- I know someone who stopped taking his antidepressants (willfully) but stopped taking them cold turkey and ended up with depersonalization/disassociation disorder. Not saying at all that you will end up with that but please take precaution and just like sharaninmd said, perhaps change doctors so you can get that filled. As far as your friend goes, I am so so sorry. I lost a best friend of 8 years recently and I know it is hard. Try reaching out on social media or perhaps give him some space for a little and then reach out? Hang in there and message me if you just want to talk!

Sometimes space is important in the beginning, an adjustment period of you will.

You speak so highly of him and the friendship you had.

But I can assure you, he's not your everything, nobody is.

I know the feeling, I lost my nd of three years and we recently tried to get back together it's only been 5 months and have been fighting a lot. The last fight he just stopped talking to me. It's been two weeks, I miss him but I'm also really lonely. I have to remind myself that just being around someone that doesn't want to be around will just depress me more. I want to call him text him it's hard I have no family I'm a single mom of 1, no friends, looking for employment, I'm also struggling with getting older my self esteem has dropped way down I just feel bad he was my best friend we were engaged at one point but being with someone I don't get along with depresses me even more. Just don't dwell on it if he really want to talk he will reach out
