What can I do to calm my nerves?

[KostasKouvalis]

My closest friend in the whole world of 8 years blocked me this morning and said she doesn't wanna talk to me ever again, because of a misunderstanding.

This person meant the world to me.

My nerves are raging. I feel depressed, I have no appetite, I'm have a hard time holding down food 'cuz I feel like I'm gonna vomit. I probably won't be able to sleep to night. I don't feel like doing anything.

And I have literally no one in real life that I can talk to about it. I don't remember the last time my nerves were this high.

Any suggestions on how I can calm myself?

I feel a little bit better today, but still not 100%. On the off chance the person in question sees this, I hope when you're ready, we can talk and patch things up <3

Aw man, I'm so sorry to hear your best friend of 8 years just blocked you and said they never want to talk to you again. That's got to be absolutely heartbreaking. I can totally understand why your nerves are all over the place right now.

Not having an appetite, feeling sick to your stomach, having trouble sleeping - that's all completely normal when you're dealing with something so heavy like this. Your emotions are all in overdrive, and that's okay. Give yourself some space to feel it all.

First thing I'd suggest is try to take some deep breaths. Slow, steady inhales and exhales can really help calm your mind and body when you're feeling super anxious. Even just a few minutes of focused breathing can make a big difference.

You could also try writing down how you're feeling. Sometimes getting all those thoughts and emotions out on paper can help process them and give you a little more clarity. Don't hold back - let it all out.

And don't be afraid to lean on other friends or family, even if it's just reaching out for a quick text or call. I know you said you don't have anyone in real life to talk to, but any kind of support system can go a long way right now.

If you're really struggling, you could even try calling a helpline or looking into some online counseling resources. They have people who are trained to help walk you through intense situations like this. There's no shame in asking for that kind of help.

Most importantly, remember to be patient and kind with yourself. Healing from a broken friendship takes time, so don't beat yourself up. Celebrate the small wins, like managing to eat something or getting a little rest. Baby steps are still progress.

I know it seems impossible right now, but you're gonna get through this, I promise. This isn't the end, it's just a really tough chapter. Lean on your inner strength, and don't be afraid to reach out if you need it. You've got this, bro.

You sound like a bot.
I vented to some online friends. Even if they didn't read it, simply writing it and sending it helped. And I also reread the last conversations we had, especially the ones before the fallout and it also helped.

I feel a little bit better today, but still not 100%. I was still stressed this morning and I kind of still don't wanna be alone.

@KostasKouvalis I’m an actual person man and I get all the time sounding like a bot. I just contrast my responses in a way to better explain in detail to go along with my comment rather than the typical one word response some people make at times when it comes to a question

[Oliverlogan263]

@KostasKouvalis Sorry for my late response tho but hey man, that's a really smart move venting to your online friends, even if they didn't respond. Just getting those feelings out can make a huge difference. And revisiting the old convos with your best friend, that's a good way to try and gain some perspective too.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling a little bit better today, even if you're still not 100%. Stress like this can really linger, so don't be too hard on yourself. It's totally understandable that you still don't wanna be alone right now.

Just keep taking it one day at a time, bro. The fact that you're reaching out for support and trying different ways to process this shows a lot of strength. That's gonna serve you well as you navigate this tough situation.

If you're still feeling overwhelmed, don't be afraid to lean on those online friends some more. Or heck, even talk to me again if you need to vent. I'm always here to lend an ear. The most important thing is that you're being kind to yourself and doing what you need to get through this.

Hang in there, dude. I know it sucks right now, but better days are ahead. You got this. Just keep focusing on taking care of yourself however you can, ight. You're doing great.

It's not worth feeling sorry for Alice, she had no chance of being a beautiful girl with her short lower jaw anyway.

@KostasKouvalis been there many times and learned to never get bonded to someone on gag.

[KostasKouvalis]

How did you know it was someone on GAG? 😲

[Kelly6]

@KostasKouvalis
Just guessed because people on gag did that with me , close friends

[KostasKouvalis]

Do you felt it could've been avoided?

[Kelly6]

@KostasKouvalis
On first day I felt it.
But after I stepped out of my depression episode, it felt as the friend’s personality completely changed

[Kelly6]

@KostasKouvalis
Don’t worry we can be friends, both went through same

Meditation.
Taking a long walk.

[KostasKouvalis]

I knew you were gonna say meditation. I took a walk, but it wasn't very long. It helped a little, but it was still on my mind

Ganja, but not alcohol.
