Right choice....???

I have this friend who awhile back I told we could no longer be friends because I lie to her, witch really was an excuse at the time. the real reason was that i had been becoming depressed, and had almost started cutting, and I didn't want to drag her down with me. I didn't want her to find out that the friend she considered the strongest was falling down and becoming weak.
She had enough of her problems emotionaly with her mom getting remarried and finding out she could no longer see her dad i figured the last thing she needed was a friend who was on the bring of a suicidal breakdown.

It's been a month or two,Im completely over it and feeling loads better about myself. But Im starting to regret telling her we couldnt be friends. But then Im okay with it becuase for the longest time she would place all her problems on me, and take them out on me, yelling and crying all the time expecting me to handle it all and remain standing, it was adding more fuel to the fire of my problems at the time....

but she was still a good friend, and now I really wonder did I make the right choice letting her go?
I appreciate others opinions so someone tell me what they think?

I personally.. if you were good friends with her before and you wanted to be again... be friends, but if you feel that she put a lot of her problems onto you and wanted you to help and you can't take it all.. then it's fine to lose a friend... i mean maybe it was time for you two to part... they were supposed to be in your life at the time they were.. maybe not anymore. it's how it works.. but then again you have to remember, that is what friends are for, to help each other out and be able to rely on them listening to you when you have a problem.

Thanks, I thnk I get what your saying. It was good to hear another opinion in the matter.

Your welcome... sorry if it doesnt make sense..i was trying to explain the best i could.. but thats just my opinion

I reckon you should tell her. to hear someone do such a thing for someone else would ( i think) make all matters disperse. you are such a great friend for what u did. although it was dangerous to your health...

good luck!

Now i seem to have come upon a new issue, I told her and she didn't believe me... she said "Yeah right, some excuse.." she thinks Im lying to her!
I almost started crying. I had called her, and told her the truth and she said It was some excuse and hung up...

Uhg

Is her friendship really worth anything?
if she couldnt see the real reason then maybe she wasnt as close as it seemed....
