I think my friend started hating on me for no reason ever since I went back to school. Because of this, I feel like i cant do anything. Concentrating in class, and doing things. Ive kept it in for 3 days and i feel bad about it. I also cannot control my emotions properly and I tend to lash out at times. I cant cope and I kinda need help.
That sounds really exhausting, carrying that weight for three days while trying to keep up with school at the same time is a lot. Losing the ease of a friendship, especially without understanding why, can genuinely shake your sense of stability. It makes sense that it’s affecting your concentration and your emotions. Those things are connected.
A few things that might help you get through this:
-
Give yourself some grace about the lashing out. You’re not a bad person for struggling to regulate emotions when you’re stressed and sleep-deprived and hurting. But it’s worth finding a small outlet, even just stepping outside for a few minutes when you feel it building, so it doesn’t make things harder for you.
-
Consider talking to your friend directly, when you feel ready. Not to confront, but just to check in. Sometimes people pull away because of something going on in their own life that has nothing to do with you. You might not get the answer you want, but the uncertainty is often worse than knowing.
-
Don’t sit with it alone too long. Three days is already a while. If this continues to affect your ability to function, please do reach out to your school counsellor, that’s exactly what they’re there for, and there’s no shame in using that resource.
