Ghosted.. Dear Best Friend,

...See more You were the one who told me we would be friends forever. You were the one who said you would be there for me. Maybe our years of friendship didn't mean much for you, but you were my family. I am no longer angry, just hurt. I wish there was a way to get closure from you. The day of my graduation you didn't show up or respond to my texts and calls. It's been over a year since we spoke and I still hope one day you'll reach out to me and explain. When something funny happens I hear us laughing and I imagine the clever jokes you'd say. I still expect to see your name pop up in my messages and I still see you being there at my wedding, when I'm sick, and when we are old. I miss my best friend. I deserved more than being ghosted and blocked because your new girlfriend told you to. Or at least that's what our then mutual friends said .. Hope to hear it from you soon but perhaps I never will. I wish you well from the bottom of my heart. Good bye, bffl
I want to help my sister

...See more Hello all, my sister was raped three years ago. It was reported and my family knows about it. She went to therapy for a couple months and stopped because she said the therapist would make her retell deatails. Last year she stated drinking heavily almost every day and now she works as a bartender. I'm worried about her because she participates in risky behaviors. She's an adult and I've encouraged her several times to seek help from professionals. She comes home drunk and vents to me about the nights it happened because it was more than one experience. I don't want to see her in pain anymore, her cries and words of pain are cemented in my head. I want to do more to help her, but how do I help if she refuses to talk to professionals?
Mental Health Worker With Depression Looking for Advice

...See more I'm diagnosed with depression for several years now. I've learned to cope with it in a healthy way and accepted that it will be with me for a long while. I'm ok with that, I'm just exhausted and lately haven't been feeling my best. I have been working in the mental health field for over a year. 1) I'm passionate about helping others who live with mental health challenges, but is it okay for me to not be okay right now? Any other mental health staff that could give me reassurance because I've been feeling guilty for not feeling my best due to current events. I want to be healthy for the clients I work with and atm I'm not worried about not being able to function due to depression, just tired of taking care of myself. 2) Do you also get tired of self-care when you're feeling down? 2.5) And what do you do when you don't really want to take care of yourself? I still end up taking care of myself and reaching out to support system.
