Yesterday I was let down by my closest friend. I travelled two hours to do something with them, and they didn't show.
No response to phone call, text, messages etc.
24 hours later not even an apology. No contact. Nothing.

I'd been looking forward to this since may. It was one of the few things that had kept me going.

The crushing disappointment is overwhelming.

Is it possible an emergency your friend is unable to get away from has come up, or have you tried contacting others that know this person to check if they are ok...etc?

I'm so sorry this happened to you. It has to be crushingly disappointing. I hope you can get in contact with your friend and find out what happened. If an emergency or crisis came up, I understand but they should have contacted you. If it was for any other reason, I would be disappointed and angry. I hope you can work it out. Sending big hugs.
Thanks for this!

Crypts - My main concern was her welfare at the immediate time. To the extent that i asked the local police to check on her as I was worried about her...

She was/is fine. Was with her boyfriend all day. Still hasn't opened or read a single message I sent. It would have been nice even to get a message of "Can't make it, i'll explain later" or something to that effect...

I may or may not be valid in feeling this.. but i really do feel worthless.

Oh it was for my birthday as well..

You are valid in your feelings. Feelings are never invalid. But yours have good reason as well. Have you tried calling rather than texting or emailing, or just dropping by n telling her you were disappointed she did not come?

Those things are harder for her to just ignore and even if she doesn't give you a reason, at least you will have a chance to get your feelings out and then you can move on knowing you did what you could, and have a true sense of closure with it one way or the other.

Crypts - Yes I did call, multiple times.

I need to go pick up my meds for the next month

Sounds like your friend is being heartless and I am sorry you have to deal with this.

I wouldn't contact her anymore, wait to see if she tries to contact you. (Although I think that's what you are doing, which is good) If she doesn't, then it's time to move on, but your friend was inconsiderate and heartless to do this no matter what. I am sorry. Be good to yourself. Take care.
