Sad and no one to talk to

Like I wrote in the ‘Say anything’ thread, I’m feeling sad right now.

My best friend, one of my favourite people on the entire planet, is terminal with cancer. He has a year, maybe less.

He wants me to show emotions about the whole ting to see that I can cope with it in a healthy way, but I can’t when he’s around. I just feel numb and get overwhelmed with a feeling of “what’s the point?

But now, now that I’m alone for once… I feel incredibly sad. I can’t cry about it. I haven’t had a good cry in many many months, I rarely ever cry.
I want to cry so badly, but I can’t.

I wish I had someone to talk to, but the people I usually lean on are busy, and the only other person I trust enough to talk to about this isn’t someone he likes very much, so it wouldn’t feel right telling that friend about the cancer.

I feel like curling into a ball and screaming out loud, but what good would it do?

I’m even considering listening to a triggering song I haven’t heard in ten years, hoping it will trigger so many negative emotions in me that I break down and cry.
I feel desperate for relief, and part of me just wants to disappear. :cry:

…I don’t know where I was going with this.
Thank you for listening, whoever read this.

I could use a hug.

What a terrible situation. I’m no expert on coaxing out emotions, unfortunately, so I can’t advise on that matter. :frowning: But offering lots of hugs. :hugs: I’m so sorry for what you and your friend are going through.
