Last night I thought about all the people that I love, and I cried

Sometimes life is just that way. You love people and it takes them away from you. You have a fight and stop talking, or maybe your paths diverge. Two of my best friends are about to move away to different parts of the country for grad school and I'm having a hard time accepting I might not see them again, and if I do, it will only be briefly until eventually they move on with their lives.

Yeah, it's possible to keep up with friends far away. I have a core group that has mostly stuck together via gaming and chat servers. But for those who don't live as much online, it's tough. I've been going through a lot emotionally, and it makes me feel selfish because I know the truth is it's much harder on them than it is on me.

In the weak and the wounded
You came to the right place for advice on solving this problem op.

Now try this, instead of letting it out, try holding it in. Every time you have a feeling, just stick it into a little pit inside your stomach and never let it out.


Whoops, it's after lunch, holdup I gotta take my hernicare pills.

Based on the emotional intensity of this thread and threads from your past, you present as someone who is clinically depressed. Yes, there is a certain amount of sadness involved when friends part but this feels unhealthy to me.

That's life, it sucks. I went to a wedding a couple weekends ago and saw a bunch of friends that I love and haven't seen in years. Hopefully it's not the last time I see them, but who knows? Cherish every moment you get with those you love.

As they say OP, it is best to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. That goes for friends too, as far as I'm concerned.

As for your friends that are leaving, just make sure you make an effort to stay in touch. Long distance friendships take work, but are certainly possible to maintain. Make plans to visit regularly and make sure to check in via text often.

I can't ever handle it when I've lost a friend. I learned to accept it as time goes on, but god it hurts me every time.

Just part of growing up. I've been trying to keep up with someone online and it's hard since the Convo gets stale quick.

People leave me more often than they come to me, so I'm pretty good at shutting that part of my brain that misses people off now.

I know the feeling OP. I've had a few times in the past several years where I start thinking about all the people I care for and get overwhelmed

No relationship truly lasts forever. Friends move on, pets die, lovers fade, parents grow old.

It sucks, but that's why we need to live while we can.
