hi Lynn,
it's so nice that you have such an understanding friend!I think my friend probably did not understand, and I think that SHE thinks I *was* blowing her off out of some bad intent, rather than needing to be alone. She is pretty me-centric and sensitive that way. Sometimes we need to baby her if she gets upset about stuff. But she's a LOT of fun at parties - she's kind of a "life of the party" kind of person.
I can't always trust her with secrets, because she blabs to other people. That's why, I think, I didn't tell her EVERYTHING about why I didn't call. Understandably, since there were gaps, she probably assumed the worst. I tried to make it clear that I wasn't being "mean" and that I was NOT trying to be a b**ch (I even used that word!) I told her that I value her friendship and I was just having a very rough weekend. But I don't think she "got" it. I'm afraid to tell her about meds/theraphy/issues b/c she DOES tell other people. And since we have some work friends in common, I just don't want them getting that information.
I guess I'll try calling her again next week and hopefully she'll come around. I feel guilty for not calling her back, but it's always such a drama with her. We'll see what happens...
thanks for your support and advice!
