jazz Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hello all. Pleased to have found this forum. Just a little about me - I have had psychosis and depression over the last few years and somehow come out the other end. Really hoping that it's onwards and upwards from here on in. Joined here because I am feeling a bit sad at the moment. Someone I thought of as a friend has let me down and it's pretty painful. Trying to rationalise it by wondering if losing a friend makes room for another one to come along - I hope so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victimorthecrime Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Hey Jazz. Yes friendship can be rather amorphous. I lost one about a year and a half ago who I had known for many many years and to say I helped this guy out would be an understatement. All the sudden he just stopped ever committing to do anything and I heard nothing and said to myself 'to hell w it'. And that's it, ghost city. But I can't control what I can't control and as time has gone by I realize that I am better off w/o his drama, nonsense, negativity, and petty jealousies. I hope you'll find peace w your situation and yes it is very likely another door has opened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz Posted March 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Thanks for the kind words. @victimorthecrime, I know what you mean about helping someone out, that's what I thought I'd done with this 'friend', but it counted for nothing in the end. It's a bit difficult to move on, but maybe I'll look back and think what a lucky escape. @resolute, I like your avatar, eyes of the tiger...

TooOld4This Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Jazz, i'm sorry your so-called-friend did that to you. I hope he or she realizes that he/she hurt you, and makes amends to you and doesn't do it again. But even if that doesn't happen, you're a worthwhile person and you didn't deserve to be treated that way. jazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazz Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Earlier, my former friend did something completely unnecessary; a parting shot aimed at me. They really put the boot in. Ouch! I can't believe that I misjudged this person so completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lantrier Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 I had a friend that was constantly provocating me, so I decided to stop seeing him. I tolerated this a long time until it was enought. Maybe I shoud have not stop seeing him, because now my circle of friends have diminish. jazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
