my friend and i got into a big fight. actually we havn't talked in about a week. We have said the usually polite things when we see each other but its not like it was last tuesday. I hate this... I don't want to loose him i still want to be friends but i can't go on and just watch him suffer i look in to his eyes and they are so sad. like there is nothing to him but i know that he has so much to offer. Maybe its just him adjusting to his meds again maybe it will be better.
I don't excpect any replies but just wanted someone to hear someone to listen thanks for listening.

It sounds like your friend is at least trying to take care of himself. That would make me want to at least be around if he needed me. You don't have to buy into his feelings, just be there for him. Let him come to you if he needs you. when do you let go?

That's tough, Andrea. He's obviously going through a very rough time, and this is when he probably needs a friend to value him more than he values himself. But only you can say how far you are able to go.

Hello Andrea, nice to meet you.

Well, I would like to say two things.

1- If your boyfriend is adjusting to medical prescriptions, it's understandable, cause it might take some time to be effective.

2- In any case, try to talk to him gently, to know what are his feelings.

Take care,
