I recently learned an old friend died shortly after she came to visit and stay with me. She was a mess with her drug addiction problem.
Long history between her and I.
I think I could use a good therapist like you.
Wow, I’m sorry you’re going through that! It must be quite shocking to see someone in that state, only to learn they passed shortly thereafter!
There are so many incredible therapists that can help you! I’ve worked with three over the past several years (due to moving, different issue specialization, etc.). I can attest that they were all extremely helpful, and always seemed to know exactly what questions to ask me to shift my perspective and help me see things from a different angle, etc. I hope you reach out and connect with one, and good luck to you!!
I feel for you. Losing someone you share a long history with can be so hard. Therapy is definitely a healthy way to heal. Thanks for posting. You are not alone and I’m sure others will find comfort in knowing they aren’t alone either.
Take care, Satty
Hello,
Thank you for sharing with us. Losing a friend, particularly one with so much history is incredibly difficult and hard to wrap your head around. I want you to know that you are not alone and we are here for you! Therapy is a great idea, I’ve found a lot of success coping with my own struggles through my therapist.
Sending love,

Wow im so sorry about your friend, drug addiction is very hard to put an end to, you wanna end it but the urge and the feeling to want it just takes over… ive had to watch a lot of my friends and family go through it, some of them never made it through… but always try to remember the good times you two had, your friend wouldn’t want to see you in pain, she would want to see you living your life to the fullest, there’s nobody that can fill the void that she left, but carry on her legacy, continue to live your life, continue to do the things that you and her lived to do, you guys had each other for a very long time, so cherish those good times, it hurts to know sje is no longer there, but continue to live on and always remember your good times.
Sending love

Hello friend,
I’m so incredibly sorry for your loss. I’ve lost several friends due to addiction, and deep down you know you want to help them but it’s so hard to.
As Gregor1an said, there’s some incredible therapists out there. Mine I’ve had for the last 4 years, and he helped me through an extremely rough time where I attempted to take my own life. Even remotely, he’s helped me and kept me in check through some dark times. Even little things like you opening up here, that shows immense strength, and i’m so proud of you for that.
I hope things get better, and we’ll be here every step of the way to support you <3
Thank you for reaching out!
I’m so sorry that you’re going through this. It can be so difficult to cope with the loss of a friend, especially when there is drug addiction involved. Even though you may not believe it right now, the pain that you’re experiencing will subside. Time only heals.
I’m really happy to hear that you’re considering therapy. Therapy can be a great tool to assist you during times of hardship. It can provide you with many coping strategies as well as simply giving you an opportunity to talk openly about your feelings.
Again, I’m so sorry for your loss and I hope you start to feel better soon. Please do not hesitate to reach out again. We’re here for you.
