i've been slowly losing my cool all day because i can't handle this and it isn't getting any better
i have two best friends, 'r' and 's'. and...how do i explain this... 'r''s had a bad week already (one of her friends nearly had to be hospitalized, mean relatives, etc), and i've been trying to be gentle with her, but 's' doesn't know this and started blowing up the group chat between us three with embarrassing photos of 'r'. and since 'r''s super insecure about her body image she got briefly upset and then just left.
(just to add on, she usually gives some indicator that she's upset and forgives within a few hours, especially if someone apologizes. but she's been acting strangely normal while completely turning her nose up at us - something she never does unless something is really off)
so last night i sent her a huge apology about how i should have stood up for her and how 's' was really sorry and how we both really care about her and she just read it and ignored it. and now it's been 24 hours. i promised 's' i'd get her forgiveness, but more so i need it so much myself. it hurts me so much, i'm so worried she's going to up and leave just like i've been worried she would for the past four months. i can't deal without her, literally - she's the only thing i have left that i can trust, and the only thing that really and truly makes me happy no matter what. i love her, so much, and now i realize i never even told her that. we've been on-and-off fighting all year but i'm worried sick that this is more serious. because i broke her trust twice. this already happened once and i chickened out and didn't apologize, and now i stood by and let it happen again and i feel awful. and my apology text, looking it over, was awful - it doesn't even sound like i'm that sorry, even though my heart is falling to pieces because i've wronged her so badly. literally the worst thing that could've happened to her and her self esteem i let happen. i've been checking my texts all the time in some sort of mad hope she'll give me something - anything. i've even been liking things on her tumblr in some sort of pathetic attempt to catch her eye.
my sense of reality is really screwed up right now, too - i'm having such a hard time discerning between what's my imagination and what's real and what's a dream. even things that happened months or years ago are resurfacing as though they happened yesterday. i want to see my therapist but i can't 'til monday and i'm not sure i can hold out that long.
i need her. i don't think she understands how much i really care about her, or how close she is to me. i know her feelings towards me aren't nearly so strong, but that's okay. i just need an indication, something, so i can put myself at ease.
i really want to send another message, just an 'i'm so sorry', but i feel like that'd be too desperate and pathetic. not that i'm not already, i guess. i just want something, but maybe that's too selfish.
edit, sorry for bothering you guys and making this even longer, but she just tagged me in a tumblr post as if nothing ever happened??? just a casual funny post, nothing special. i'm so confused right now; i got something, but of course it's cryptic and dismissive.
then again maybe i'm just freaking out over nothing as usual, yay anxiety : )))))
