I think you're absolutely right; a great friend would have been there for you. Even if the subject is a bit taboo for some of us, a great friend would work with you to try to understand it, not ostracize you. I had SI issues a few years ago and I didn't tell anyone about it for that specific reason; they'd freak out.
 It's common knowledge that a lot of people "on the outside" don't understand, but if they care about those of us "on the inside" they'll work a little harder to understand and accept it. So sorry your friend is acting this way!  We're all here for you. Feel better! I hope your friend comes around.

I am sorry your "friend" let you down. I have had "friends" too who turned away from me when I needed help. Or worse yet who turned a deaf ear to my son when I was missing and he called my "friend" asking if he knew where I was and my son mentioned he had no food. A real friend would have brought my son a burger but my "friend" did nothing.
In real life I call people my friends but don't believe they are. The people who support me now are all people I have met on the internet. It's kinda sad that you and I have no close friends in our proximity but let us be joyful that the internet has shown us people who really do care about us.

That is so hard to deal with. I'm so sorry it happened. Do you have any other friends who would be willing to come over and visit? Know that we are here for you too.

I'm so sorry about your friend!!! I've had some just like that!!! Briester is right!!! They are not much of a friend if they are only around for good stuff or drop ya when the tough gets tougher!!!! Please don't give up though!!! Is there any one else you can talk to!!
I really hope there is someone you can talk to because even though you have poeple here its not the same as having someone in real life to talk to!!!! Hugs to u!!!

Sad. How many of us, how many "normal" people, have true friends? How many have even one true friend?

Teary, you need to learn which friends you can talk to about your pain, and feel which friends are not strong enough to help you with that. They can still be a friend. Just not someone to share our iinner most burdens with. It's still important to have them around and have fun with them. They take our mind off our problems. Just know who those people are who CAN handle the deeper problems of life when you need to talk about them, and seek them out.
