I am very alone, very lonely. I've had one friend for
several years who has invited me into his family,
holiday dinners, etc. I've become 'addicted' to him,
to the point that this weekend he advised me to back
off a little, that he can't handle being needed. This
conversation occurred just after I told him that I
was seeing a psychologist for depression and anxiety.
Needless to say, his reaction has increased my depres-
sion and anxiety. I'm pretty distraught right now. I
even drafted a suicide letter. I called my psych today
but he can't see me until next week.Has anyone become so dependent on or addicted to a
friend that no other people or activities can shake
the obsession? How is it dealt with?I began taking Serzone last week, have noticed no
respite from the obsession, depression, or anxiety.
