I need some help with a friend of mine. I've just recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and I'm in a depressive episode. Anyways, on Thursday a really good friend of mine said he didn't want anything more to do with me after I got back with my boyfriend (albeit we had only split up for 8 hours... me thinking he'd be better off with someone a little more stable etc). I was absolutely devasted - my friend was quite literally the male version of me! We share so many of the same interests and beliefs and as a true friend I need him in my life as much as any of my other friends and family!
Once he had told me he no longer wanted to be my friend "owing to what I had done" the first thing I did was pick up a knife, luckily my (other) friend rang at that time, found out what I was doing and came to pick me up and made sure I was safe at least until yesterday morning. Then last night I received a text from my friend saying how sorry he was and that he had hurt me in more ways than i could imagine, but he's had time to think and he can't bear us not being friends.
I'm so confused because I don't know if things are going to return to how they were or if we're just going to be awkward around each other?! I've lost one other friend because I was in a depressive episode and other because I was manic and it hurts so badly! It's obvious my friend likes me in more ways than he's letting on.
Has anyone else lost and regained friends like this? Could you offer any advice?
Sorry for the long post, I needed to vent!
Thankies
