Okay! Here's the deal! I attend some support groups for various
mental health conditions. Depression, Anxiety, etc. .
Well, I have a very close, (at least, we were,) in these groups.
Anyhow, lately, my friend's been going through an incredibly
difficult time with some personal issues in his life.
Well, since, he's such a close friend, I've really been devastated,
because, there's really, nothing, I can do, to help him through any
of this. I mean, I've been sobbing, daily, because, I just want to take
all of this away from him and I want to see him happy, again!
Anyhow, the other day, I was at one of my groups and one of our
mutual friends noticed that I was pretty upset about something,
so, they asked, what was wrong. Well, I guess, I was so upset, I just
needed someone to talk to. So, I told our mutual friend why, I was so
upset and I explained that I just wanted, so much, to help our mutual
friend through his issues. Anyhow, I didn't think, this would happen,
but, my friend found out what happened! Now, he feels, I've betrayed
his trust, so, he can't/ won't talk to me, about things, anymore.
Thing is, I honestly wasn't trying to reveal his personal business.
Actually, I did what, I did, because, I do, care about him!! Anyhow, I just
need to know, did I do something wrong, because, I *care* about my
friend, which, is why, I needed to talk to our mutual friend about,
If, my friend would talk to me and I could explain, I think, he might,
understand.
