Well someone that I would call my best friend is suddenly moving away. I knew about his wishes to move but I didn't think it would be this fast. I could tell him anything. Anyways I guess he is moving tomorrow. I saw him on Sunday and gave him a big warm hug and wished him the best, but inside I was crumbling. After he left I cried. I still feel like crying. Ever since he left my mood has been low and continuing to decline. I haven't felt like this in a long time. Maybe finally with the right combo of meds I can feel emotion again. But I just don't want to do anything. I forced myself to crawl out of bed today, and I'm forcing myself to go to work, but my attitude is so in the toilet I'm not sure I will be pleasant to be around. Anyways that is my complex for the time being. I am hoping it lifts soon, because I have had fleeting thoughts of just ending it, and i have NOT had those feelings in a very LONG time. It's not like he is moving far away per se. He's only moving to Pittsburgh, and I'm Erie. But still I am so depressed. It sucks.

I know this is probably no consolation because for sure it is a big loss and it should be grieved. But at least with all the modern forms of communication hopefully you can maintain a relationship even though it will not be the same.

I have some friends that I maintain relationships with via text and email 2500 miles away. But then I have had others who just do not reciprocate even though I try.

Sometimes all you can do is just get up and go about the day.

I have a close friend who's moving soon, too, so I know where you're coming from. Change isn't pleasant, especially when it's taking away a comfort, but friends find ways to make things work. We still have the summer before she's living overseas permanently, and I don't know whether it's better to spend extra time together or not worry too much about the change to come.

I'm guessing you two spent a lot of time together?
Thanks for this!

Recently we have spent every weekend together. He just text me and sent me a and said I miss you. I guess he's on his way to Pittsburgh now. But today was better than yesterday and the day before.
