fbpx What Should I Do After Breaking Up With a Friend?
Authored by Dr. Michelle Murray on February 14, 2023

Dear Dr. Michelle

I have had to break up with my best friend. She was not able to listen to my feelings about things in the friendship. She also stopped spending time with me like we used to and would never tell me why. I feel sad and hurt and am in a deep depression I am struggling to get out of. I blame myself. I will still have to see her on occasion. How can I get out of this deep depression and deal with times I may have to see her?
