Nevermind I get it. Punctuation goes far, my dear :P I don't understand how he's using you, though.

Just kinda feel like the friendship might have started off false feelings maybe, I don't know were still friends, but honesty goes a long way with me,.. and I kinda feel like I confided alot in him thinking he knew how it was but now not sure..

Anxiety affects us all differently and at different times so I wouldn't look too much into it. Maybe he is having a better time at the moment and trying to make the most of it x

Your right I'm sure I'm letting my mind play way to much into it.. just made me feel vulnerable I guess and I hate that!

Sometimes it's hard to see someone else in a confident place or better place but it's what we all want for ourselves. Continue to support each other x

Always best to try not not second guess or jump to conclusions.6 years is a long time,with im sure many fluctuations in severity of symptoms from day to day even month to month.Your time will come, hang in there.Also golden rule a persons benefit status is private as is their therapists findings,imagine how hurt you might feel if someone you have confided in long term doubted your truth ,your right to benefits / and or ability to pay maintenance?? the government does plenty of that already with out sick people doing so to each other .No one knows how a person is doing with regards their problems ,how they r coping with anxiety etc except the person involved.Far better to support even in if in doubt than make your own thoughts known about that person....... especially on an anxiety website,the person might Involved might see it 😳.
