I have a great idea I'll turn down the heat for the whole house then I will park myself in front of a portable heater that just follows me around so the rest of you can freeze to death while I am snug and warm.

My friend, who I have been friends with for about 15 years is going down hill lately. I mean mentally. He says horrible things about people! I can’t take him anywhere because he keeps saying horrible things about people and people are everywhere. He began going down hill when in vacation he wouldn’t let me leave the hotel, saying everyone is looking at him. Now I just can’t stand being around him. Not even on the phone. Something about him makes me sick to my stomach and tense and a little shaky. My mental health could go down hill how horrible my friend is making me feel. If I talk to him, he tells me I’m “always convicting him” of something. Which I don’t. Hardy. My emotions are on edge today because of him, I have been the closest person he has ever had his entire life. His parents have already passed and he has little family. Any ideas how to understand him or help me understand how to deal with this? Thank you!

The guy I was dating for a few months is now on here. We were friends for a couple of years before dating. After our relationship became a little more serious, and I shared more of my needs after losing a beloved pet I'd had for 12 years, he became distant and less invested in our relationship. He seemed more uncomfortable with my sadness. He eventually stopped contacting me and has not returned my call for months. He messaged me on here last night, and I will ignore him just as he did me. I have MOVED ON.

I am so relieved that I'm finally in to the treatment program. But if I could ask for one more prayer (a selfish one on my part) I would appreciate it so much. You see, my body doesn't have a timeclock about what's convenient and what isn't. I know this seems silly, but I do NOT want to spend Christmas in the hospital. I have spent other holidays in the hospital; New Year's and a couple of Easters. But it would really drain my holiday spirit to have to spend Christmas in the hospital. I know that's a little selfish, but if everybody could kindly pray that I'm not in the hospital on Christmas that would be great. If it turns out this is a real emergency, I understand, but if it's something I can put off until after the holiday, I would prefer that. I'll spend New Year's in the hospital gladly. Just please not Christmas. I know I have to do what I have to do, but I've already waited this long. Pray the docs say I can hold out until after the holiday. Unless they can fix it before.
