You say they have not contacted you but have you tried to contact them? Perhaps they are unaware that you need their friendship right now? Perhaps you should reach out to a friend and try to not be isolated so much.

All I can tell you is that when I got the courage to tell one of my friends, it felt like I could breathe for the first time in weeks. I'd honesty felt like I was being choked. I use online counselling when I'm really down and alone, maybe that would help you too?
I hope you feel better soon  |

To answer Vanishingacts, I've tried an online counselor of sorts, but it hasn't helped too much. The person just kept circling back to the same questions.
