hi,
I just needed to put it out there, I had an upsetting weekend. I ended up having a bad allergic reaction to something and had to go to the hospital. I was knocked out the rest of the weekend.
I dragged myself out of the house to go to a party the next day. I saw this guy that I used to be really good friends with, who basically turned on me. He just sent me flying out of his life, a friend from a CoDa program who knew a lot about me. I really regret being his friend now. I haven't really talked to him in about three years. After he stabbed me in the back, he was desperately trying to be my friend again, sending me stupid emails to please be his friend. He is kind of along the lines of, 'if I can't have you, nobody will.' He came up to me at the party and was really drunk. He started shouting at me "you are f--d up. you are f---d up." After the way he backstabbed me, I had forgotten about it, done some counseling, etc. I actually had the urge, since he was sitting crouching behind me and yelling in my ear. I had the urge to punch him right in the face. I didn't, but sitting there I could smell the alcohol on his breath it was really strong. I can't believe I actually trusted him.

You ex-friend sounds like he may be an alcoholic and/or very unstable. But in any case, you certainly don't need someone like that in your life. Sometimes messy situations end quietly, but sometimes one or more people need to let out a bunch of anger for it to be over. Maybe you can think of it like getting a rotten tooth pulled; it hurt but it was for the best. In my humble opinion you should block his email address and phone number. Sometimes I have made friends with people who do not deserve my friendship but I think that I will know how to handle them. I am always wrong. In a way, he wasn't shouting those things at you, he was shouting them at himself.
I hope you are able to heal from this awful experience, and that you can find some happiness today.
