I'm here looking for unbiased advise. I have fought depression for years and I'm afraid I'm heading back down in that hole. I have recently ha a very good friend turn on me and tell some very private info to just about everyone she can. Im fighting with my family constantly because of this information and I'm just about to he end of all I can take. Any suggestions?? I will share more info if I feel it's needed.

Things that come out, fade away. I don't know what the information was, but this will pass and it will be forgotten. I would avoid family for awhile. Do what is right for you Candlehiker, take a rest. Keep posting because it does help.

Welcome to the forum...

Hugs, Karen...

Hi Candle-

Welcome!

If you think you are going back down the depression road, why not try and stop it or make it less? What helped last time? Counseling, meditation, medication, exercise?

And as far as the "friend"- time will heal all. I am sure it hurt when she told everyone your business. But at least you know she isn't a real friend anymore.

Hang in there and don't give up!

We care!

Welcome Candlehiker,

Michele thank you that is where it was going!.

Candle, what are your coping skills?

Things are out of YOUR control at the moment. You can not control other peoples actions. You can grow by this event and get strong emotionally. Look back see in that person that betrayed you what you missed and keep that information for future in trusting others.

But for now, it is self-care and self-love that you need. So pile it all the best you can. Like Karen said, stay away from the boisterous family best you can til it passes and it will, it always does.

Keep posting, we are here to support and listen.

Peace and courage

Thanks guys for the posts. Things haven't changed much in this area.. But looking at my new post.. There is more. Coping skills?? Haha! I run and hide. Tougher to do with a teenage son. I tried counseling... Helped some. Financially... It's not an option now. And I HATE taking medications. Thinking a drive may be on order right now.

It's very hard when everything you do doesn't seems to be recognised or being constantly criticised. Any sane person would feel rejected and sad in that circumstance.

Feeling betrayed by friend is another one that can't be fixed overnight.

Run and hide is probably not the answer. Nor is confrontation with everyone at the same time.

Do what you think is in you and your son's best interest, and brush off any criticism. Yes, easily said than done, but it's either that, or let the criticism eat you from the inside.
