Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has any advice regarding how to deal with friends? At times I feel incredibly let down by my friends, some of them seem too scared to ask me about how I'm doing even though my mum was diagnosed over a year ago and they seem to think I deal with everything wrongly no matter what I do, if I don't seem upset, then I'm weird and if I'm angry or upset I'm also handling it badly. I'm quite a closed person but recently I've ended up in tears most days - we went out to a club last thursday for a friend's birthday and I spent two hours in the loos crying, yet one of my bestfriends criticised me for 'throwing a strop' and ruining the other friend's birthday. Whenever I tell them I'm let down by them not checking up on me they have a go at me as if I'm in the wrong for being upset. I've never really had any problems with any of them before it's just none of them seem to remotely understand. I know that it's mainly an age thing as we're all only 20 and none of them have been through anything like this but I feel so isolated and upset.
So if anyone can offer any help I'd be very grateful
