What Am I Without A Friend?

[SweetBerry]

Hey :fishy's

I'm so sad right now. My best friend who has been through EVERYTHING with me has left to be a councellor at summer camp. She left two days ago and I already feel lost and alone. She'll be gone for the next week and then the dayt she finishes, I leave for two weeks. I don't know what I'll do for the next three weeks without her support. She has been helping me fight my ed and si all along, and I feel that this time apart is sending me back down the awful road that I had tried so hard to get off of. It's our first time since my ed and si started that we have been apart more than a couple days. I didn't know which board to post this on, but I decided that the self-esteem board was appropriate because it is mostly my lack of self-esteem and slef-worth that is making me feel this way. I feel that without this friend around, I am nothing and I have no reason to keep fighting. I just need to know that someone cares right now. :sad

I know this may not help, but this may give you time to do some soul searching. I think for a long time.....i wanted friends, needed friends because i did not like me. Now slowly, i am beginning to like me.....hoping to :love me one day. I guess that's what we all need in the end is to love ourself.....because without that who else will:love us in the end. I am sorry your best friend is away....but make this a growing time and self reflecting time.....go get a manicure, pedicure, massage or something FOR YOU .......something all you can do on your own and relax......i found this qoute to give to someone who was living alone a few years back and i look at it everyday....." You're never alone if you like the person you are with" .....pretty deep huh:cute
Good luck and have fun!!!!!!!!!!! Girl, it's summer ........:happy

'What are you without a friend?'

You are exactly the same person you were with a friend. You are Sweetberry.

Your friend does not make you worthwhile as a person or change anything. It's sad that she's gone, because you will miss her, and I hope your reunion when she comes home will be a joyous one, but in the meantime you continue to work for recovery because you are still a worthwhile person, and whatever qualities your friend sees in you that make her care for you are still inside of you. Nurture those qualities and nurture yourself so that you will be open to even more friendships and even more people to care for and be cared for by. Use this time apart for growth rather than sadness.

You are the same person with out your best friend. She may be a very important part of your life, but she is not you. You need to believe in yourself. I hope that you can learn to depend on yourself as much as you do on your friend. When you come back, your friend will be right where you left her. We all :love you here, and we will always :ear. If things get hard to cope withm turn to us, we're your fellow :fishy ies, and we know what you are going through. You will be fine hon.

oh let me say i know how you are feeling.my best friend is gone too and i just have that feeling in my gut. i'm sad and lonely, i didn't realise i was until i found that the only thing i was doing was going to work and then coming home to sleep. i guess we will both just have to be strong and know that we can and will be okay. we are our own person and can take care of yourself. (yeah i tell myself that everyday and nothing) oh well take care okay

see ya
