I Am Sleepy

My best friend was going through an almost break-up (she ended up not going through with it and I'm furious that she went back on her word, especially when seeing the parallels from my abusive, mentally ill ex.) so I decided to stay up with her and be there for her even though I had to work at 5 this morning and I slept terribly the night before. Well she decided to stay with him and by the time this was all figured out, it was 3 in the morning and I'm so livid. I wouldn't be this angry if she had stuck to her guns as planned, So now I'm struggling to stay awake and I have a 10 hour shift ahead of me. My body is and was not prepared for this.

Thanks you guys. And I hear you Monkey, but when you've experienced a severely mentally ill partner and someone you love is going down that path, it's not something you ever wish upon them. I don't want to see her end up in a potentially abusive relationship. I'll cool down in a few days and be as supportive as I can be.

If as you say she is your best friend then you have to be prepared to accept her decision and be there for her again when it all goes tits up. Just try and get through your day without being pissed at her and keep in mind most people need to learn from personal experience rather than example

You are a good friend

You offered. That's the important thing. You tried. Today will be rough on you, but, she knows she has a true friend, and when she is ready to actually escape, you will be the one she trusts with her life and sanity.

I understand how you must feel ginko but sadly as I said most people need to touch the flame to find out it burns and rarely listen to someone who has already been burned. Give her a couple of days then check and see how she is
