I apologize up front for the terse writing and few details. I've become very tired

I'm in love with my best friend and have been for many years. She just got engaged. Everything really hurts, by far the worst pain I've ever felt.

I've gone through counseling for this. I take meds. I've talked to friends. I've spoken with suicide counselors. Nothing helps. It's just a bunch of platitudes being thrown back at me.

On top of that, I'm scheduled to take the bar exam in two days, and yesterday I collapsed and suffered a concussion, guaranteeing my failure. There is no way to get a medical deferral at this point in time.

I've written her a goodbye. I'm tired of hurting people. I don't want to die but the pain I feel is so intense, so all consuming. I can't last long.

Hello AlwaysHeartache, so sorry to hear you are hurting right now. An ending to a relationship is always hard. Please try and focus on your bar exam, you have so much going for you. Keep talking here if it helps.

Heartbreak is part of life, she leaves your heart but guess what that now leaves a space open for someone else to come. And believe me she will come trust me.

Dear AlwaysHeartache,
A bar examine compounded by a concussion sounds like the ultimate stresser. I hope you pass. Please let us know how it goes.
Is your username AlwaysHeartache because of your best friend? Even if you want more, the fact that she is your best friend means that you have been sharing a lot for years and at least have a great emotional connection. And I'm just wondering, why did you write her a goodbye? Will she be moving after she is married? She probably won't have as much time for you after she is married but could you both still be friends. I know people can love more than one person. Good friendships are hard to find. Does your friend not want you in her life?
If you don't want to answer these questions, I understand and I know you need to focus on your exam right now. It is such a good thing that you have had a best friend! Years from now, it WILL be a good memory regardless of what is happening now (I'm older than you).
Sincerely, Myst

Hello and welcome to PC,

You are under overwhelming stress over the Bar exam. All you can do is try your best now. If you fail, you can take it again.

I'm so sorry you are in so much pain and anguish.

I have issues with unrequited love, too.

Hang in there and keep posting. Hugs.

I heard somebody say that it's not the hand that you got dealt with is more how you play it, and I hope and wish you can play with dignity

Sorry to hear that you are suffering. I do hope you feel better and pass the bar exam. Take some time to grieve over the loss of your best friend. It's hard to get over unrequited love, but it can be done.

I agree that you need to grieve her loss and heal my friend. The first step in that process you already did by writing your feelings on here.👏

You sound like such a catch though. What is she thinking??

Gentle hugs to you. Hope you pass your bar exam. To coin a phrase that I sincerely mean a door closes to another one can open. You need to grieve. I've been there too. I know that time heals. But it does take time. Take time for yourself.
