Dealing with Anxiety and Trauma from Friendship Breakups

I am totally with you! What I’ve been doing is writing notes (that I will intentionally NEVER send) as I progress through my journey. I basically state anything I’m feeling and why I believe I’m feeling that way. I honestly wrote one about the friendship breakup and said that I forgive them in the end of the letter. Now that didn’t make me forgive them but it really opened up my heart to heal more.

Friends are there for months, or years or not..u will have new friends..we are on a journey

I've been waiting for so long to hear that there are people with this same trama. I have reached out and gained little to no closure, it hurts everytime I see her name. I have tried my best to limit how much content I see online about her so that I can try better to forget. Filling my life with things that aren't her hoping they will push her out.

For sure. I had a friend that was emotionally manipulative and abusive. But we still made good memories together, that's what hurts now. I'm working with my therapist on this.

me! it happened in high school and it sucks to say i'm still feeling it. i am terrified that my friendships and relationships are going to end at the slightest problem or inconvenience and it's led me down a path of very self destructive tendencies in attempt to keep everything perfect for everyone (except for myself of course). for me i wrote letters to them and then burned them, it gave me some type of closure which has helped me a little bit.

Ive lost friends over time. It’s not easy and it’s especially not easy to forget. If you can, try to reach out but if you know in your heart you can’t, it’s time to heal! It’s time to give yourself a break and forgive your former self.

Maybe try keeping a journal or notebook, I am stuck on a past relationship aswell and it truly does hurt but venting and writing down everything almost opens my soul up.

I went though the same thing with a girl i even cut her name into my rib cage. I attempted suicide cause of her and voices too but mostly her mind games and now shes marry and has a kid. I still have a hard time but i am trying to move past it. Its hard

I’m going through the same thing. My friends keep leaving me without saying why and I used to have 10 friends and now I have only 3
