I'm a bad friend lately - I'm sorry


He's used to us talking every day for hours on hours, video calls, and constant updates.
Last time I posted a story (or was online) on ig was the 12th. We still speak every day but not like before, I just don't have the capacity. My phone log is full of missed calls from different people. I haven't answered my best friends.
I don't remember what I've even been doing, time has just flown by and I haven't been able to fully appreciate any of it. I had to cancel my market, because I had to work that day, and even tho I felt bad, a part of me felt release too, because I always feel drained for a few days after a marked. I've signed up for the next one tho, and will make sure I'll go to that one.

Both my doctor and my life coach told me I need to slow down, and instead I took on several other projects and responsibilities. Almost like my brain goes "oh you think I can't handle this? Watch what I can do" - until I freaking collapse. I'm so tired of myself.

I don't know how to get out of this fog I'm stuck in.
I just asked my life coach if I could move our meeting till tomorrow, but maybe I shouldn't have. I'm just not even sure what to say to her, and I feel like just dissociating into oblivion right now.

But I can't do that, I have things I need to get done, I have meetings, and things I need to fix, I have a puppy now that needs me, I have friends that need me, my husband needs me, my family, my patients... Maybe I feel overwhelmed by the thought of people constantly needing something from me. I've always done so good on my own, and even tho I've had friends reach out for help in the past, I've always been the person that will suddenly disappear for some time, and then pop back up at some point, and people have just known that that's what I'm like, so we continued like normal.

But I can't do that anymore, I need to always be "on".

Don't let anyone make you feel bad for what you need to do in your life. Do what you need to do for you essentially you have the power and the control Is to take ownership of yourself and well-being.

Anyone that tries to make you feel bad or doesn't understand isn't a good friend.

And it seems like with everything in your life all the people you have to be accountable for in your personal life this other person that you talk to or video to everyday shouldn't be the first priorityYou're self your husband your family your puppyAll that should be your priority and if that person can understand that and waitFor the worth of your time then they are not worthy of your friendship.

I've made some new friends hereAnd I've been going through a lotOn the other side of thingsAnd those that are my good friends hereWait patiently with love and understanding. And I thank them all for that. But if anyone sent me a message like that which to me seems a little pressing It would make me not want to further communicate with them. Something's a little off about that conversation that you posted. You handled it well. But Check your real life priorities first.

@LaLumieri He's like a brother to me, that's why I try to stay as much in touch as possible. He's not from here, he's in gaza. He's very sensitive and gets easily worried 🥺
I agree with all you said tho, I really need to check my priorities, and try to focus more on my own well-being, which is funny cause I constantly tell my bestfriend that she needs to do that, but then I'm not very good at doing it myself.. 🥹

I'm glad that you've made some new friends and that they respect you 🫂

@Cassieeeee Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize this was a person that was very close to you I thought it was someone you had just met on the internet and became friends with. I recently had a friend meet someone on here who kept Badgering her every minute that she couldn't spend with him.. I'm sorry I thought it was just a person you just met.
