Getting it off my chest

2 minute read time.

I apologise to anyone about to read this, I just need to put it down in writing really and thought where better then here.

In October I was told that my dad had prostate cancer with secondary bone cancer, and everything changed.  I'n not here to write about my dad, he is doing ok and to be honest its a little to painful to write about without crying and as im currently sitting at work maybe not such a good idea.

One thing i have found though is my total lack of interest in things, Im 23 and i used to love seeing my friends and going out and now i cant be bothered with it all. they have been so supportive but i just dont want to see anyone. and that annoys me because they are my friends, how can i just ignore them and what is going on with them!! but everything has changed and things that i thought i have managed to get over are now upseting me again, like i had a really close good friend i met her through work about 5 years ago and although she left have been friends ever since, then just over a year ago she asked me whether i wanted to apply for a job at the place she worked. I'm a legal secretary and a Solicitor at the office needed a new secretary, i took the job and at first it was fine, then she started being funny and, when things were going good for me, in relationship etc (before all of this with dad) then said she didnt want to be friends with me anymore because my life was too good and it reminded her about how hers is going wrong. i tried everything to get my friend back but she didnt want too. i was fine with it untill now.

why is it that i can do without my other friends but the fact that this person wont speak to me makes me feel like utter c**p. i have done nothing wrong yet why is it when things started to go wrong i hoped that this would mean that she would want to be my friend again. its horrible, because when i started i was very good friends with her i didnt really get to know anyone else, and now its like starting again apart from they all know and like her, so when she doesnt talk to me, they must thing that i have done something.its normally bearable i work in my own office so i dont see anyone for hours on end (sometimes days) but today my stupid computer has broke and im being made to sit in the same room and be ignored by her and because its obvious everyone else.

this whole thing makes me feel lonely at the best of times but with this too........... i just dont know what to do.

    In my humble opion  my sweet, this prat is no friend, friends stick together through thick and thin, good and bad, your true friends are the ones that  you can't be bothered with......love carol x

    What a sad pathetic person this must be, stuck in her sad little life and only able to reach out to others so she can hurt them.

    Take a step back from the situation and see that you have been able to work out what is going on. Next thing surely is to strengthen you're determination not to tolerate this from her any longer.

    From the rest of what you have written, the illness of your dad has made you into a stronger and different person very quickly. Use that to stop this now. As Kezzerbird says about friends - thick and thin, good and bad. Does she fit the bill?

    I somehow think you won't have any problem working out the answer

    Listen Sweet Jo,

    Who in the world would want a so called friend,she not your friend your better off without her.

    Now if its friends you want look no further than this site. With people like Carol and myself [im very modest] you could not get better friends,if you want to talk scream or get a Tattoo theres not a better place than this site. Here we all are Friends,and we help eacother any way we can.

    Take Care and stay Safe. Love Sarsfield.xx

    With friends like her who needs enemies ??? What a monster !!!!  Stick two fingers up at everything that bothers you and only worry about the important things. Talk to Carol about getting a tattoo on your bum, have a good laugh and concentrate on supporting your dad. The clouds will clear, we all suffer the odd 'downer'.

    Love Bill xxxxxxx
