Oh my gosh. I was disconnected when I wrote this and even though it's all true I barely remember typing half of that. That cuss word? I'm don't even know what that word is!

That is probably helping her tremendously. Good for you for finding help for yourself and showing concern for someone in need!  |
That sounds great. Unfortunately this friend and I live across the country. We've met in person several times but we've never lived nearby each other.

Although, because it's funny, I just want to add what my sister recently made up:
"A friend in need is a friend not needed"

That sentence confused me. I thought it was indicator I was in fact not needed which is what I took out of my friend telling me she doesn't really like our telephone conversations. I take it personally and am quite frankly not sure if I should or shouldn't.
I realize this isn't all about me. But sometime she sounds like she doesn't need me and it can hard to tell if that's her depression talking or not. It's hard to be friends. Even though we've known each other for over ten years.

I try to be, but I feel absolutely useless now. I feel like the simple fact of talking on the phone is so dull and boring for her that part of me frankly never feels like calling her again. (I mean there are other ways we keep in contact but still.) Maybe it's overreacting maybe it's not. I'm just very confused. Ugh.
