Im scared of change, im scared now that I dont have the friend group i thought would be in my life forever
Maybe I've made the wrong choice? But i need to protect myself from the constant battle with them? Im so confused

Oh sis, of course it's totally okay to be scared! Change is super intimidating, especially when it comes to losing friends you thought you'd have by your side forever.

It sucks feeling confused and like you might've made a mistake cutting them off. But don't doubt yourself - you had to do what's best for your mental health and protection. Even if it's hard, staying in a toxic situation would probably be way worse in the long run.

Try not to dwell on the what ifs - focus on taking good care of yourself right now. Spend time with other friends and family who support you, treat yourself to chill stuff you enjoy, and be proud of yourself for having the courage to do what's healthiest.

This is just a part of growing up, as painful as it is. You'll get through it and come out even stronger! In time I bet you'll see it really was the right choice. But for now, don't be so hard on yourself - it's okay to feel all the sad and confused feelings too. You've got this sis! I'm here if you ever need someone to listen 💞

Thank you so much 🥹 i needed to hear those words, day by day itll get better j just know it will

No problem girl, I'm glad I could help even a little bit! Breakups of any kind are tough, but it really does get better over time. Some days will still be hard, but you'll start having more good days where the hurt doesn't feel as sharp.

Just be gentle with yourself through the process - treat yo self to stuff that lifts your mood like good food, movies with friends, whatever makes you happy. Lean on people who support you fully too. We've all been through crap with friends before, so know that you're definitely not alone in this.

You got so much awesome stuff ahead of you once you're feeling more steady again. Don't forget how strong you are - you did what was best for you even when it was difficult. Be proud of that! Keep your chin up, sis, feel free to hit me up anytime if an extra ear helps at all. You've got this 100%!

It sounds like being scared is creating problems in your life. In this case, I would say that being scared is not okay.

As with anything, you want to find a balance. Try to take baby steps to become more comfortable taking smart risks.

I needed to cut them off for my own mental heath and progress / but i do understand what you mean

I'm scared too. I have to cut off a person that I've known and been friends with for over 10 years and it hurts. So I definitely understand. Shits hard and scary.

Life begins when you step out of your comfort zone. Face your fears.. 😉
