Could I contact my friend, again?

Question

Last time I spoke with my friend, she said she wanted to speak, again, only after I had seen a professional psychiatrist. Now, I feel caught, I've lost her friendship, and I have to see someone who really can't solve my problems. None of my past counsellors have really helped. It seemed like only my friend's advice ever made any sense. On top of all that, she suggested drugs, to stop me reacting the way I do. I was warned off drugs, as a means of coping, many years ago.

I want my friend back, in my life, I don't want her to think I'm just a basket case.

Answer 1

Are you male or female?

Listen to your councilour. Your friend will only tell you what you WANT to hear not necessarily what is best.

You have to understand that some people do better on medication than others and that there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking meds that helps you cope with things. Stop obsessing about your friend and understand that you can't make anyone like you but you can give them good reasons to want to be with you. Don't be too tough on yourself and learn to take care of you first.Then  the rest will just take time.
