Lately I’ve been struggling with my mental health and I’ve honestly really realized a lot of the effort that I’ve been putting into a lot of things and people and how at the end of the day a lot of these people are not even by my side.
I think one of the things that’s truly hurt me is my friend that I’ve known since I was 14 (now we are 31) has sort of been a little MIA. She responds every 2 to 3 days. And honestly, I don’t need this person to drop everything that they’re doing and come over and sleep by my side and help me through my whole panic attacks, but I would love for at least one text a day.
I also know that not everyone has the mental capacity to have empathy towards you, but it just really hurts me that not even the simple text.
So I really don’t know if I’m being unreasonable in feeling her?
Has anybody ever gone through something like this? Maybe not mental health related but maybe something else where you felt that someone close to you should’ve been more by your side.?
How have you handled feeling not supported by those who were supposed closest??
