Goodbye stranger

I have been struggling with my diet and taking my health more serious. All i wished for was taking to my best friend again. Just here some comforting words but i guess at the end we are nothing more than just strangers. I tried texting with another number and all i got was that she would get the cops involved for harassment. I can't believe she would get to that point. All i wanted was someone that would understand me and this new journey im taking. I don't know who to talk to that understands pre-diabetes and fatty liver problems i know she doesn't know what to do at the end of the day im lonely. I don't know what to do to get better the diet is not helping even though i lost 23 pounds in 2 months. Im taking different supplements for the liver and everything else. I tried milk thistle now im taking more supplements for my pre-diabetes. I don't know how to get out of my head. I feel the doctor isn't doing much. Didn't even notice the weight lose and all he said was they will redo all my blood work by the end of this month and im so anxious so overwhelmed stressed. I wish i could end this already and yes i know i barely started but not having friends or family to support me is so hard.

I am here to talk if you need someone and I’ll be your friend if you want . I’m not experiencing the small medical conditions as you but in my experience I also felt like doctors were just giving me meds for my conditions and I felt I was unheard . One of my best friend that I had grew apart from me and that was difficult for me as well .

I know but I never want to feel like your medical conditions are insignifant or inferior to others even if it was just a mistake .

I had to start on blood pressure med recently. That was a shocker because I got my cholesterol down with diet and exercise instead of taking a statin. My blood pressure was fine last year. It takes a long time to improve. She said I could come off the med if I improve my lifestyle which a lot of people do not do. I will try to defy the trend. Your doctor wants more tests because 2 months isn't long enough. You have to be better over 6 months or more. 23 pounds in 2 months is too fast for sustainability. It should be 1-2 pounds/week. The diet should be something you can maintain for the rest of your life. I did noom last year. I was losing so much less than my cohort but 6-8 months in they were gaining it back while I kept it off to this day (now I am trying to lose more and it is harder.) Also not one person said anything about my weight loss. Not sure why -- it was an entire dress size. One thing I absolutely advise is walking every day. More and more evidence is coming out that a mere 15 minutes will help. Plus it is good for your mind and spirit as well as your body.

You will make new friends over time.

Hi, Im really sorry for all the pain youre going through. I promise you dont need this friend. There are so many others you can build bonds with, it just takes time. But you deserve to treat yourself kindly and to be happy and to not dwell on things that hurt you. It is unfair to freeze yourself in time from when things didnt go well with this friend. Misunderstandings happen in life to EVERYONE. They are just part of life and we grow when we are willing to learn from them. But no one deserves for their whole life and mood to be determined by these misunderstandings. That is unfair on you and anyone who does this. So please try your best to move on for now if your friend isnt reciprocating...and do it not for your frfriend, but for YOU because YOU deserve it, you deserve kindness and ccare and to find happiness. By all means keep the door open for your friend, this shows you have goodness in your heart, but let yourself detach from the pain of holding on. Be kind to yourself and please try refocus on to your own life and growing . You absolutely deserve this no matter what happens with your friend 🌸
