I need your help please

[Kevan07]

I've been struggling with depression ever since I lost my aunt 5 months ago. I became vulnerable and got a best friend during that stage and now I found it somethings was being kept from me because they wanted to protect our friendship. I need help, I don't wanna loose my best friend and I don't know what to do. I can't stop overthinking now and I don't wanna allow that one bad thing to outweigh all the good. I'm now asking myself if this connection was even real in the first place or what if he really was trying to protect our friendship. I don't know😭😭😭

Dear Kevan07,

It sounds like your Aunt was very special. I empathize with your grief from the loss from of her passing.

When depressed we all feel vulnerable especially with the loss of a loved one.

I’d say the best thing to do is tell your ‘best friend’ what you just shared here. Your friendship means a lot and you don’t want to lose that.

The definition of a friend is “someone you can be with while being yourself.” Talk with your friend. Tell them you need their support. And, if this person is truly your best friend then they will be there to support you through this time. If they are not supportive then they’re not capable of being a true friend.

As for me, I have a very small circle of friends. And those friends that I do have know that I do have struggles and accept me for who I am.

All my best,

MZ ❤️
