Why is it so hard to be the one to end a friendship. I finally stood up to this person that kept using me and not giving enough back to my friendship. Now I feel like I didn something wrong. I just don't know what to do anymore. Part of me wants to call and apologise but I know thats not right. All I want is for him to act like he cares that I might never speak to him again. All I've ever wanted is to feel like I mattered to him. All I want right now is to feel like I matter to more than one person. Or to feel like I have a future. I just wish I knew how to make these feelings go away. Now I'm gonna be up all night trying to calm myself down and distract myself long enough that I can stop myself from cutting. Hes probably already asleep because he just doesn't care and it HURTS! I don;t know how much longer I can go on being this down all the time. I tried to reach out and it stabbed me in the back.

i care about you a lot. i'm not just saying that...i actually do! and you're right, it sucks ending a friendship, but if you're the only one giving, you'll get sucked dry eventually. i know cuz i've been sucked dry before...and it was hell trying to recover. i ended that friendship and it was very hard for me...but the end result was me having more emotional resources so i could take care of myself. people kept telling me that if i didnt take care of myself, it wouldnt matter that i couldnt be there for her anyway, cuz i wouldnt be there for anyone. does that make sense? sometimes i cant exactly make what's in my head come out making sense. i know how you must feel and trust me it does get better. if you need to talk, message me...please. i love to chat.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
