I had a similar experience telling friends about how I was havig flashbacks; and thus far I am down 1 “friend”. Honestly I am the sort of person who is kind to all people and I’ve decided that I need to have that compassion in my friends. No more all give and no take. I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve wasted on this friend and her problems so from now on when I meet “emotionally clingy” people I stand up and leave! Accept that some people are jerks and find the ones that aren’t. And, there are always positives and negatives to situations. So the negative here was that I lost a friend; the good news is that I have so much more time to myself as I was always tending to her emtotuinal wounds.I got mine while I was still working but all I would tell people was that he was an alert dog. Several of them were super pissed because they wanted the whole story. They didn't give a crap about what was happening with me....they just wanted to be in the know. It was really disheartening. Not surprising...just disheartening.
