I'm so possessive over my friends, if they do anything separate to me it makes me feel sick.
Last night, me and my best friend Kerri were out with one of her friends, and i hit Kerri, not that hard, just on the arm, cause she wasnt showing me enough attention, she didnt even get angry, she just hugged me and APOLOGISED.
she hadnt dont anything wrong, there is something wrong with me.
i feel so awful, but i didnt even know i was going to do it until it had already happened and i am not usually an angry person.

Hey Widget,

Maybe your friend realised she had been ignoring you at times?

Maybe you need to realise that your friends also have other friends in their lives but will always make time for you.

Hope your doing well?

It's OK. You are still going through a tough time. Cut yourself some slack. Hugs.

Widget, I know what you mean about being possessive of your friends and your time with them. I was that way for the longest time until it got to the point that it must have been obvious to them because they all slowly withdrew from me leaving me worse off than before. Since then I have tried to nurture relationships carefully and trying to remember that I am not the center of the universe. Maybe it is my experiences, age, and good meds that have helped me get a better handle on it. But still if I'm not careful I can scare off friends. I hope you are doing alright. Give yourself a hug, love on yourself, and then do something nice for yourself. You deserve it.

Extreme fear of being abandoned and mood cycling are part of Borderline Personality Disorder. You can read about it on PsychCentral. Maybe that is the answer.

You're not alone...

I too am very, uhm... Territorial I constantly remind myself that the world does NOT revolve around me, and that the world will NOT cease to exist if a friend is not making me the center of their universe...

Its sucks big time, I know, but you gotta hang in there, and teach yourself some new truths... makes the road less bumpy

XOXO
