my friend. my friend. my friend. my friend.

My "friend" is ruining my life. How much more drama can I deal with? How much more of her mental illness can I put up with while she's ruining people's lives, and ruining my friendships?

I cant win. I'm scared. my friend.

This isn't making my depression any better. Far worse. I know I'm giving her control over my life in some way... but I'm trying to be positive, establish boundaries and all that...

But she takes it out on me. It's always my fault.

((((((((((((((((((((Christina))))))))))))))))))))))))) It is so hard when someone we care about starts acting destructively towards us. Sometimes I need to take a break away from a friend and heal from damage they may be doing. It just is a little self care. It can be so hard if I feel obligated to be there for this friend all the time but if it is making my own well being in jeopeardy than it may be time to reevaluate. I hope you find what course of action is best for you.

I'm sorry you're hurting so much right now... friends can either make or break a situation, and I certainly know how much it hurts when a "friend" is on the other end of the spectrum.

It's not your fault. Don't forget that..
It's the only thing that helps to keep me going

my friend. my friend.
