I'm more than happy to give you hugs here in the general comments, as long as you say you need them.

Does your doctor have advice of support groups near you? Or hobbies you can do to take your mind off your medical conditon or help manage it? Depending on where you are, I think there are also public phone lines you can call and talk to someone with if you need to unload things off your chest but doesn't want the whole comm to know.

Yea, I was going to suggest that they could talk about it here, but that's not exactly the best support network, and it might not be something they feel comfortable with discussing. (Which is totally understandable.)

Anon's advice seems pretty sound imo, but if you don't have support groups near you (or don't want to be involved with a face-to-face support group) maybe you should look for one online? That might be easier since you're trying to keep it a secret.

I'm sorry about your friend, though. :/ Hope everything works out for you anon! No one should have to be alone, unless they want to.

They don't have a support network here and I thought about going to a doctor to help me with the mental parts but i couldn't make myself ask about it.

There is a science fiction club i just found so maybe just some general going out to things will help

that html is being saved, surprise hugs!

It can be hard to go to a doctor and ask for help. I know because I've been putting off phoning my doctor for two weeks. However it sounds like this is something you really need right now with your friend gone.

Can you compartmentalize the process? Rehearse what needs to be said, break it down into small steps, start doing the steps and tell yourself along the way that you can back out any time. For myself, I'm going to wake up tomorrow, eat breakfast, pick up the phone, dial my doctor's number, tell the receptionist I need an appointment, say which days I can make the appointment, and hopefully I will get a slot this week. Maybe a similar process can help you?

Also, maybe pretending to be someone else can help? Like, when I don't agree with someone but don't want to come off as an asshole either, I pretend I'm secretly Captain America and smile prettily at the person instead of going off in a rant. Because Captain America is not the ranting type. My version of Captain America is not, anyway.
