For as long as I can remember I've always valued every single relationship and friendship I've been in. It's almost like my life revolved around it. They were almost like a precious diamond or something. When they ended it felt like I would never stop hurting.
However looking back a lot of them were really not the right people for me. Ive found myself constantly holding on to friendships even when they were past their due date. I've made friends with support workers, key workers and work coaches (I know I set myself up with those as a lot of there's supposed to be boundaries )
I've just started talking to someone online on instagram. Not romantic or anything. It's already started off quite intense as we've both had lots of trauma and she helps me quite a bit with my thoughts. However it's just an online relationship. There's a very slim chance of meeting as they live so far away. I sometimes get jealous seeing her replying to comments with other people under her posts. It's like I've become #obsessive again out of nowhere when I was coping quite OK . I'm quite good at coping on my own. I haven't had friends for a long time. That alone is a hard thing to say 😩. I have certain things that help me though.
It's difficult not to get so easily attached to any new person and feel that they're some precious diamond. I don't want to become some obsessive person in her DMs constantly 😂
