i dont get it. i hate it. im stressed so bad right now bc of the death of my closest and longest friend. its been almost 2 months and everyone else just doesnt talk bouthim any more. i have known him literly all his life. that boy and me have went through so much together and his father was always there for me. he died to . they both did when thier house caught fire. i was supposed to be with them that night i promised. but i got off work late and the last thing i said to him was "Whatever" and i hung up on him.

it hurts alot and no one wants to bring his name up no more. I have tried to stay busy by getting a second job, staying in my senior year at high school, and taking night classes at the community college but at night when theres nothing to do i sit and think and wonder.
its all driving me crazy and i dont know how to just deal with it all. lifes so stressful and meaningless most of the time. i will never forget him though. never..

I am so sorry that you lost your dearest friend so tragicly like that.It wasn't meant for you to be in that house that nt.If no one wants to talk with you about him then come on here and talk with friends about him,that might help you.

You poor thing. What awful pain to have to carry around with you. This may sound like "cop out" advice but i think you really should find a therapist to talk to. Or maybe even a bereavement group in your area. Prayers to you sweet.

I am so sorry to hear about your friend. I send my prayers out to you. There was a reason why you weren't in that house. God has a plan for you, and his plan wasn't meant to stop there. Its hard to forget the last words that we say to people, but I am sure that your friend knows how you truly felt and knew that you cared him. Find a friend or teacher or someone you can trust and just talk with them about him. God Bless you. Let me know if there is anyway I can help.

Renee, how awful. It was obviously fate, though it doesn't make it better or easier. people may not want to talk about it because they do not know how to deal with it. You have to grieve. 2 months is not a long time, take the time you need, it is tragic and sudden and you are young, so I am sure you have never lost a friend before. you should journal, that will really help. your friend would not want you to give up, so keep his spirit alive.
My heart goes out to you!

    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...
