The worst feeling in the world is not losing your friend forever, but rather having patronizing people tell you that the love you have for your friend and the connection and emotion you have towards them is an illness to be cured, a problem to be covered up and hidden away by the power of mood-altering drugs. I used to trust doctors when I was younger.. now I've lost my trust in all mental health professionals forever. Rebecca McNutt
About This Quote

When I was a teenager, I had a really good friend. She was always there for me and we shared many secrets. This friendship kept me going when I was in a bad situation and needed someone to talk to. My parents were not the best at supporting me and my friends would be there for me no matter what.

After we graduated high school, we drifted apart and we lost touch with one another. Now, I find myself in a situation where that same friend is back in my life, but this time she is different. She constantly talks about how she is constantly bored and just wants someone to talk to.

I'm constantly being told that I am being too empathetic towards her and that I have to take care of myself instead. The worst part is that she constantly talks about how she is "a different person" now. She constantly tries to tell people how much better she has become, but all I can see is the same girl who used to be so full of life.

She doesn't seem happy by any means and it's obvious that she has been through a lot in her life because of her current mental health issues. The worst feeling in the world is having people tell you that you are wrong for feeling the way you do about your friend when they haven't been there for you when you truly needed them the most during your darkest hours in life.
