It doesn't even matter if it's a legal matter and my not showing up could result in incarceration. I've crumpled into a sobbing ball onto the ground in panic and incoherence if I'm in a bad place. I guess what I'm asking is, are you sure your reaction was about her? If it is, then you deserve better.
Good luck with your decision and I hope you are feeling better.

I've been pretty good about leaving my house during this episode. I go out and do a lot of things by myself or with my husband. I've also been hanging out with one of my other friends (she was the one that was also supposed to have been their last night). I just made plans to model for another friend of mine next week for her photoshoot so I don't think it's people in general that are freaking me out. Hanging out with the two ladies I just mentioned doesn't cause me any stress at all. They're really laid back and things are just 'easy' with them.
But my other friend just causes me so much stress. Sometimes I can pinpoint exactly what it is and other times just the thought of her or even seeing something she's posted on social media will cause me stress or make me panic.
I haven't wanted to sever anything yet because I wasn't sure if it was just the mania causing it, but my reaction seems to be just about her and not any of my other friends. I'm so torn as to what to do.
