Thank you for your kind words,
@hooleydooley. Still, it is always very sad when a friendship gets broken for whatever reason. Especially one in which I reallly enjoyed interacting with that person and valued their advice and support. Now that the friendship is broken there is a part of me that feels emotionally empty. I am trying not to fill that emptiness by eating heaps due to my food addiction like I have done in the past because I realise that is a very vicious and lonely cycle. Feel empty due to loneliness or anxiety, eat to heal the pain, next day still feel empty. Food addiction ruined my life, causing me to become unhealthy, overweight, and steal money from my family to fund my addiction to food. But I decided to gain control of that part of my life because I knew that I couldn't keep on doing what I was doing. I still get cravings to eat heaps of unhealthy food evveryday. Listening to Tina Arena, crazy as it sounds, has helped me to control my cravings because I get the same feelings that I used to get when I was eating junk food, except this time the feelings are more real. Lucky I seem to have my emotional eating and food addiction under some sort of control at the moment (although there have been some lapses).
When I made that friendship it filled a hole that I wasn't aware needed filling. I was perfectly happy never to have any friends at all for the rest of my life. But I thought I really connected with this person in a funny sort of way. I really wanted to get to know them and spend time interacting with them. However, that seems to be over now. I just hope they know how much their friendship meant to me, and that I wish that person happiness.
