  • Sometimes people get used to using certain “crutches” without forcing themselves to be better to not need it. Maybe your friend leaving gives you this kind of opportunity. An opportunity to self reflect and identify what aspect of your life you want to improve. It most definitely will not be easy, and I’m very sorry you’re in a situation where seeking therapy is not really an option. But sometimes you need it to get worse before it gets better.

    The important thing to keep in mind on this journey is forgiveness and kindness. Learn to forgive yourself for any mistakes you made and will make. Be kinder to yourself and the progress (or lack thereof) that you made. This circles back to some points you made like being betrayed by people close to you. Opening up to them and being kind to them isn’t a reflection on your poor judgement or naivety. It’s more of a reflection on their character. You shouldn’t spin this account as a negative outlook on yourself.

    I hope you get out of this rough spot OP.
