You arr not alone! cheer up! 🌈

@Jenni855 Hi there, I am so sorry to hear you are feeling sad and alone. I realize that things seem dire now, but you do not have to suffer alone. We are here for you! If you ever need to talk with someone, feel free to reach out to the listeners at any time. Best wishes, and I hope you feel better. *hugs if you are okay with it*

Thanks all. I have been there for this friend through the worst time in his life despite having my own problems (I got diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease earlier this year.).

I was answering his texts everyday and being really supportive and encouraging. He would say he was there for me too but every time I have reached out to him even in a small way, I have had a dismissive response and he has even made jokes about me not ever eating or drinking :(

He has also met a new group of people lately and is seeing a lot of them. Since then he barely texts me and does things like send on their text messages to me that they sent him saying how amazing he is.

I have tried to back off but it is hard as I see him a lot in the same social circles. He is acting like nothing has happened. I want to tell him that its him that is making me feel down, not my illness like he assumes. I think he can sense I am backing off but thinks its because of my health worries and therefore nothing to do with him.

I know talking is the way forward but I don't see the point. He has used me and I don't feel talking will achieve anything. I just have to let it go but its tough when he doesn't seem to see or care what he is doing. 😐 I have really been there for him so it hurts a lot.
