Today my friend was moved into a transition/ recovery home where she will receive 24 hour care. She’s there right now and she’s finally responding to my texts.
She’s very “uncomfortable” which tells me she’s just really scared. I would be too. I’m just trying to reassure her and tell her the people here will help her.
Even in texts, it’s like she’s a different person, like I’ve temporarily lost my best friend. I know this isn’t about me, not when I’m trying to help her, but my abandonment issues are starting to reappear.
I’ve lost a lot of friends, and by lost I mean our friendships ended. So, it’s a sore spot. In fact, it happened recently with someone, but that’s not the point. This is all scarying me. I don’t want to lose her.
She can be incredibly stubborn, and I hope she’s at a point where she’s ready to listen. Sometimes that point is rock bottom and she’s there.
I don’t have any experience with transition houses, so the fixer in me is lost. Not having a solution or piece of advice is stressful. Personally, for me, it’s time I rely on Jehovah (God), which is difficult for me. But it’s time because there’s nothing else I can do. He hasn’t let me down before.
Sorry to get religious. It’s just something I’m using to cope.
This post feels a bit disconjointed, so I’m sorry about that. Love you all! #ObsessiveCompulsiveDisorder #Anxiety #Depression #Support #CheckInWithMe
