My best friend has been acting really different lately, he's always so down in the dumps like a sad sack. I want to help him, but he won't let me! I would be a good person for him to talk to about this because I myself have struggled with depression and anxiety disorders for most of my life, so in that respect, I can relate. But still he won't tell me what's wrong with him, he said he feels like there is something not right with him, but he doesn't want to tell me because it would make him feel too awkward. However, he has no problem talking to his "friends" he has met from chatting over the internet with. I don't understand how he could tell his problems to people he has never met, but not me; his so-called best friend. I always thought best friends should be able to open up to eachother in times of need...but not in this case. Maybe we're not even friends at all, maybe we're just using eachother to hide from the inevitable fear of being alone. I don't know how I can help him out if he's going to be like this. I want to help, and I think I could, but he won't let me. Sometimes I think that maybe I should just leave him be. Maybe he needs to find a different friend other than me. I try talking to him over the net but he ignores me so he can talk to his other friends (yeah really great friendship we have there, huh?) He's so miserable (even I can tell that) but he's not exactly doing much to try and solve the problems before complaining of all the bad things. Sometimes though, I don't think that is right of him, I've suffered from depression, but let me tell you, I have never in my life complained of it to anyone. I figure hey, I'm depressed, I know that it sux, and I'm not going to drag other people down with me by making my problems theirs. If he wants to get help that's wonderful, but all he's doing is sulking about it, so I don't think I'm going to be his friend anymore. I know that sounds really mean of me, but he won't even let me be a part of his life so maybe I should just give him what he wants. I just don't know what to do, it seems like he doesn't even like me anymore! You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
