Friendship
ever since me and my ex best friend stopped being friends, shes made almost everyone turn against me. shes made rumors and lies about me and has my whole grade thinking that im some what of a “freak”. idk what to do anymore. its been like this for more than a week now and its so draining to go to school every day and deal with this. i want to go up to her and curse her out so badly, but that would just make things worse. to top all of this off, i also noticed that my bpd has gotten to its highest point. i see myself worrying and being angry over whats going on in school, then a few hours later im completely normal. it hasnt been like this since last year. im so tired. im so drained. i hate highschool.
I understand that can feel very overwhelming! Maybe you can try to speak with someone at school and do some sort of mediation with her. School is supposed to feel like a safe space, not one where is it difficult to attend and learn. Try speaking to someone at school about how you are feeling. You can try to talk to her directly, but I would suggest trying to do it calmly, you’d likely get best results without a verbal attack. Lastly, if you feel your mental health is suffering speak to an adult, try to get into some sort of counseling to address some of these issues.
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a tough time right now. High school can be incredibly challenging, especially when friendships change and rumors start circulating. It’s understandable to feel drained and overwhelmed by the situation, especially when it feels like everyone is turning against you.
First, it's important to remember that you are not alone in this experience, even though it might feel isolating right now. Many people go through similar situations, and it’s painful when someone you once cared about spreads lies or turns others against you. It’s a reflection of their choices, not your worth or character.
If you feel comfortable, try to address the rumors directly with your classmates in a calm and assertive way. Sometimes, simply clarifying the truth can help dispel misunderstandings. However, prioritize your emotional well-being and consider whether confronting them is the right choice for you.
It might also be helpful to lean on supportive friends or trusted adults, like teachers or school counselors. They can provide a listening ear and help you navigate the situation. Surrounding yourself with people who uplift you and believe in you can make a big difference.
Focus on self-care during this difficult time. Engage in activities that you enjoy and that make you feel good about yourself. Whether that’s spending time with friends who support you, pursuing hobbies, or practicing mindfulness, finding ways to take care of yourself is crucial.
Remember that high school is just one phase of life, and things can get better. People often grow and change, and while it may feel like it now, this situation won’t define you forever. Hold onto your strengths, and know that you have the ability to rise above this challenge. You are not a "freak"; you are a person with your own unique qualities, and you deserve to be treated with respect. Keep believing in yourself, and don’t hesitate to seek support when you need it. You've got this!
