I am going through a rough patch right now with a friend. I do believe that most of her issues can be resolved with medication. I know that sounds funny but I often feel that there is a little bit of a chemical imbalance..IF you catch my drift.

Unfortunately, this last rough patch ( for lack of a better term) included a little bit of a verbal assault upon my being. This has happened before. Apologies are made and we move on. However, this last time around, I have some hurt feelings and I am not sure I want this cycle to repeat anymore.

I was talking to another friend about the situation, a friend that has nothing to do with the friend that I am having this problem with, and I said to her that I want the kind of friendship one sees on Sex In The City. I want the SITC friend. The one that is there through thick and thin.. that can make you laugh and cry… but what I get out of this one particular friendship is just the “cry” part. Also, without giving you too many details, I am getting older and I just don’t feel that I have the “time” to invest in a friendship that is so one-sided.

So, I believe I am beginning the process of “letting go”. It’s not a good feeling. I toyed with the idea of stressing to this friend, that medical intervention might benefit her, but with the current situation, she would of course see this as an attack and that would not be good since we are already on the “outs”. I don’t want to cause her unnecessary stress.

Anyway.. this might be a two-parter depending on how this all goes down. I will think about it some more. I think.
