I am still feeling sad this morning. I woke up this morning and thought about a friendship of mine that seems to be going the way of the dinosaurs. I felt very depressed about that too. And still do. She wasn't and isn't as good a friend as my sister but still hate it when friendships change. I'm left feeling badly because I think of all the things I could have done, should have said, shouldn't have said, all the frustrations I had at the time that now I feel should have talked out. I think of all the things that could be the reason and then I wonder if maybe some friendships just change OR if some friends are just for a season. I never really know what the right answer is.

I too, hate it when friendships change. I'm not good with change in general, but it seems I've never had a friend last longer than a few years. I had one friend of over 10 years just decide she's not talking to me anymore. I was depressed about it for months. Another person who seemed like she could be a new friend makes excuses everytime I attempt to take her up on her offer to get together. I always have to call people; they do NOT call me. I didn't know if it was just me, or is it them. Am I not picking the right, genuine kind of people for friends? If it is me, WHAT is it? I'm sorry this happens to you, but I'm also glad it doesn't just happen to me.

Kudos to you for those baby steps! I've also found baby steps to work with almost anything I find hard to try.

THE POINT is that I woke up feeling this way. And I thought "GAWD...I feel like Sh#!" and I thought of how many popsicles and chips I could down so I could feel better today. INSTEAD, I went for a walk to clear my head. I know this doesn't seem big but I have been eating a lot for the last 2 months because I have felt so sad. Today I took a baby step and I really feel PROUD about that. Instead of wallowing I did something for me that was healthy. I don't feel like I am at a 100% but I think that I am a little closer to who I used to be. Thanks so much for supporting me through this!
