Okay so I have a problem and no idea what to do. I don't really have anywhere else to turn either, the person I would usually talk to about this is the friend that is part of my problem. But before I get into it, I'm not even sure that this will make any sense. Just a warning.
So recently I have been having a really hard time. I get these random mood swings, I hate myself, and I feel like there is no one that cares about me. It's a problem I've had randomly since around the 7th grade, (Im currently a senior) but after a while I get through it and I'm happy again. However the last month and a half or so it's been worse than ever. And it's the longest I've dealt with it. But that isn't the problem I'm looking for help with exactly....it's how I'm treating my best friend throughout this time that needs help.
My best friend and I have been like sisters for around 6 years. We talk almost 24/7 and I love her more than anyone. But during this time I've been going through a hard time I've really been treating her badly. I really don't mean to, but I can't seem to stop it. When I have my mood swings, most of the time I take all of it out on her, including my anger, and deep sadness. But she hasn't done anything wrong, it's just me. I'm constantly in a bad mood and I'm always venting/crying to her. I feel like all of this is just dragging her down. And I care about her way to much to drag her down with me.
I guess what I'm asking is, should I take some space from her until I can work my way through this? I just don't want to be someone who surrounds her with negativity. I found all these helpful articles on how to get sad, negative people OUT of your life, but nothing on what to do when YOU are the negative one. I just feel bad about how I keep treating her, and I don't want to hurt her. Any advice would be appreciated.
