How do you tell your friends the truth of why you don't visit anymore?

7. She does and I love that

One of my friends really came through for me today and it has made such a difference. I went from being despondent and losing it to "everything will be okay." "Temporary visitors." I should have thought of that today when I was crying and ranting but better late than never!

I'm afraid to say I have been too chicken to call these friends, although I dreamt about one of the group this week.

I just am not good at whining to them, or feeling like I would be taken seriously.

And I'm wondering if their failure to come see me isn't telling me something: that I care far more for them than the other way around. Given what I've been going through mentally lately with the PTSD, maybe the universe is telling me I have to just let some friends go, and focus on the ones with whom the relationship goes both ways.

But if I were hoping to salvage the friendships to get us back to being close, I would do precisely as Sweet Freedom has suggested!

I will update this if and when I hear from them or decide to call them.

Love you all, now gotta get off DU and work on a painting some more and practice git-fiddle




Stay sweet, DeSwiss and Sweet Freedom and all the awesome DUers!
