I am pissed
for once it isnt over something that happened to me
twice now i have been there to see my best friend get broken up in relationships. she is a great person, why does this **** happen to her?
she gets pretty upset alot because of all of this **** that goes down around her.
her last ex was dumped for calling her a retard, she spent a long time thinking she would never find another person to love, when she found this dude we both thought she had someone decent, but like 3 weeks later, after using her as far as he could go with her in those 9 weeks, he breaks up with her without any decent explanation.
she is sure it is her fault that this happened, she said she is a tool for whatever men wanted and she will never have a real relationship.
I am there for her to listen and give my ideas, but i feel like i am being less and less effective in keeping her from doing something terrible.
I consider her my best and closest friend, like a sister even, she knows things about me no one else ever will and i don’t know if i personally can hold up with everything else if she decides to end it like she says a lot.
I always saw my self like atlas, i held up alot of stuff and i did it not for the recognition but for the people’s survival, i always was satisfied with making other happy, its why i love this site.
actually helping others is like an anti depressant to me, but failing to help is the greatest opposite.
I am terrified for both of our sakes of what will come out of this.
she went offline a few hours ago, telling me her computer cable is snapped and she needs to turn it off or she will lose battery power, but after hearing nothing about this, and hearing lots of talk of hating herself and requests for me to kill her, her sudden leaving scares me.
can someone help me help her help herself?
i dont know where else to turn but to those i have attempted to help, and although i will hate myself for asking for something from you all, we both need the help.
she does go to this site, but rarely nowadays, she will most likely instantly know who i am talking about her. if you see this, i am really sorry that i am out of words myself to help, but i cannot just stop trying to help because of that. i cannot lose you and you have too much life ahead of you to throw it away.

Tell her not to interpret love as hopping into bed and letting someone go as far as he can with her. She is setting herself up to be used.She needs to have some self respect, if she doesn’t give into a guy and he leaves because of that, then he wasn’t worth it in the first place.

So, her parents are around the house at the moment?

Help prevent her from killing herself if there are others there.

You know alot of the time things can be made out to be lot worse then they actually are, but they still hurt terribly breaking up with someone you think loves you is hard but its far from the worst thing in the world, I know the truth in that does not make it any eaier to endure but the point is life is full of dissappointments, and if you let them get to you it wont take long for them to break you down.

I suggest your friend needs to talk to you, or someone who is close to her as well if a guy can hurt her this much, regardless of what else has happend to her it will do nothing but make everything else that much worse.

What I mean is that things will onlyu get harder if she holds on top these things you have to learn to count on whats real, like having a devoted friend such as you, or even having your health.

But I dont now your friend, I dont know what gets her through the day and I dont know what she goes through, you do.

You may feel like you cant help, but your the one who really has a chance to.

if you can go see your fiend I suggest you do so, tell her you need to know shes okay, if thts not an option, call her, if thats not an option improvise.

But if she sounds like she needs to know how important she is to trhose who care for her, and you can show her that.

wow, this sounds really harsh :( she must’ve really liked this guy. I was never really good at giving advice about this kind of stuff, but I always found comfort in someone saying “you’ll find someone.” Now I’m not your friend, which means no guarentees, but just people telling me that much really does help. And about not hearing from her, I know it’s hard for you to call her, but get in contact with her ASAP! death can happen in a second, but it will last forever

everyone here has given some really good advice. but i really think you should set up a time when you can be face-to-face with her, no interuptions, and just talk. figure things out and give all the advice you can. (: i really hope for the best.

you all have given such great insight.
i plan on contacting her in a while if nothing pops up on facebook from her.
im fighting internally whether or not to text her sooner cause part of me trusts it is just a computer problem and she is running low on texts and would hate it.
wait, i just saw now, she left something at 11:00 on her page, talking to another one of her friends, but that means nothing happened yesterday…. now on to today…

I have a friend like that, to an extent. She keeps throwing herself into relationships that are doomed to fail. Personally, I blame the media, but I think a cure for her is with my friend, what she’s doing right now. Her and my friend are having a very not serious relationship. Practically friends, except that they will openly declare their atraction. I think that is the best way to start.
