I am sorry too. I find that sometimes when people have a conflict and some anger is shed, it can be very difficult.

I think in your situation, as I have experienced myself, friends and family often tread lightly around you as they don't really understand what you are dealing with. Your friend may be just giving you some space and may not even know what to say or if you are up to even talking.

Sometimes just sending an email to her, if you can, to say sorry, was having a bad day, your still my friend. Can be a signal to her that you are acknowledging that something happened and you regret it and you are up for her to come and talk.

Many times when we are struggling we feel guilty about it and even though we try to gently talk about it, we can be hard on others and even more so with ourselves.

No one wants to feel not themselves, or admit that they are having some difficulty. Lets face it, it is embarrassing and akward. And it is very easy to be misunderstood and even avoided by others. It doesn't mean that they don't like us or that we are bad, it is just an indication that they are confused and don't know what to do or what to say.
