A few days I broke a friendship because it was toxic, but now I’m missing it even though it was toxic, and I feel like I shouldn’t miss it, but I do…

      I had to break off a friendship around a year ago due to how much we played into each other’s symptoms and made each other worse. Sometimes I really miss them; and sometimes I miss being that unwell even though I know it’s bad for me and in reality not fun. You really have to take it one day at a time, and let yourself feel your feelings. If you know they’re not good for you, I think that alone is a really big step. It gets easier after a while

      I broke an eight year long relationship with my best friend because of how toxic she was. I even lived with her and the things she did to me were terrible. I still miss her sometimes, but I know she would just continue to hurt me if I went back. It’s completely normal to miss your friend, but you can’t forget the way they treated you.

      I feel that. I broke a friendship off last year I believe it was for the same reason and that was the toughest part of it, trying to be okay enough to let it go.

        @deathlost So it’s not that weird to be missing him even though he was toxic?

          @Songbird24 No, it's entirely normal to miss someone even if it was toxic.
