Looking for advice, I feel so sad and empty. My very best friend of many years has just gone awol on me. I have been living alone all through covid and apart from being my best friend, she has been my absolute rock as we text each other numerous times each day, I don't really have anyone else to chat to. As hard as these last months have been, she has always been there for me, and I for her. We had just had a couple of walks which was amazing to see her after such a long time of solitude.
Well the last couple of weeks, she has only responded to my texts and not really instigated any herself, (she had previously told me she was busy and had things to do), but her lack of interaction with me left me feeling anxious and concerned. A couple of days ago she sent a text to say she was not ok and that we are both finding it difficult with the covid situation and would not be communicating for a while until things return to normal.
I feel incredibly sad, she hasn't said anything else except shut me out. I did text and ask what was going on but she has not responded. I am at a loss as to what is happening, it actually feels like a bereavement, she is like a sister in my eyes and we have been close for many years. This has hit me like a ton of bricks and the loss of communicating with her is so hard to bear. I am very concerned for her, equally myself. I feel in limbo, hurting and dont know what I can do.
