Title: Guilt about best friend Post by: JJFriends2014 on May 18, 2021, 10:07:21 AM I couldn’t find a category for just friends. My best friend, while not being diagnosed with BP, exhibits all the traits I’ve read about. We’ve been friends for the last seven years and I love him dearly, but for the last year and half we have fought more and more. A big part of it was he was laid off from his job and has been addicted to meth for almost two years.
The last time I spoke to him or saw him was January 2021. I’m feeling an enormous amount of guilt because I feel like I’ve abandoned him. I’m in therapy, but I can’t get past this. Part of me wants to say to him “I understand a lot more about how you are feeling.” And another part of me says to just stay away. How do people reconcile these feelings? |
