This may contain TRIGGERS, I think I used the right icon for a trigger warning.

So, in December, my best friend and I were fighting (arguing) like all month. I kept trying to fix it and I couldn't. I ended up having to go back to a mental health hospital, because, it triggered a manic episode and I was wanting to cut off a finger and mail it to him to show him how badly he was hurting me.
Luckily, I thought he was too..distant from me at the time for it to make any difference if I went through with that action. My fiancee talked me out of it too. She told me that he wouldn't even care if I did it...that he would probably just throw it away. I realized she was right.

Well I don't want to go into the whole story, but I want his friendship back. We had been friends almost eight years. I still haven't received an apology or anything from him yet.

i think you may be better off if you could simply accept that this friendship is gone. Use your energy is building a stronger friendship with your fiance and perhaps someone at your work.
Thanks for this!

Can you try reaching out to him, if only for some closure? Are there things that you could apologize for? If you do that, then maybe it will cause him to apologize back, or at least let you know if there is anyway to salvage the friendship.
Thanks for this!

I have been trying. I just don't give up on my friends that easily. I basically left the door open for him to return...

Thanks for the tips. I apologized in the letter I sent him. I don't know if he received or even read the letter yet. I apologized multiple times, but I guess he ignored them...but we will see if he writes back.
