I am 27 years old unmarried girl.
Few days back my best friend's marriage got fixed. Since then i am feeling extremely alone and lonely. She has been my best friend for the past 10 years. And we talk almost all the time and share tiniest detail with each other.
Now i am feeling like i am losing here. This is making me extremely angry. I am finding it difficult to be happy for her. She wants me to be happy in her happiness but I am hurting her by saying mean things.
I have tried to divert my energy on other things like hyper focus on my work and play badminton so that i have less time to think. But since we call each other frequently, i am reminded of all the changes happening in my life like she won't be available for me etc.
How do i move ahead in my own life ? How do i gather courage to be happy for her ? How can i be happy myself ??

The most effective solution for dealing with anxiety for me personally was waking up early. Iam not a morning person but once i tried this, i was surprised how good this made me feel. It helped me find peace and calm myself down. Having so much time in my hand I could do small things that made me happy and I felt a sense of accomplishment just by waking up early. I feel the most anxious during the night- so sleeping early really helped me tackle it to a great extent.
Meditation was another thing I tried when my anxiety was at its peak. Trust me- for someone who thinks a lot, it is no joke to shut your mind down and focus on your breathing. I could concentrate for very few minutes in the beginning but my thoughts kept spiraling back. So listening to some meditation music while i meditate helped me increase concentration. It helped me analyse my recurring thoughts and gave me more clarity about them.
Mostly during such times I donât feel like interacting with anyone- thinking that nobody will really understand how i feel. Itâs great if you can talk it out and rant everything going on in your mind to someone who cares to listen. Taking it all out really helps. If youâre someone who is not comfortable with addressing this with anyone, then you can try writing down all that is going on in your mind. Once you take it all out in any manner, you will feel relieved.
If you feel like you are stuck between your thoughts and feel very helpless, just do SOMETHING. Take a walk, call up your friends and talk about something random, play with your pet - just do something to break that cycle that is going on in your head. Do anything that will distract you even for sometime. Take action without overthinking anything. Just go for it.
Being positive and thinking right is almost impossible during such times. One of the main reasons i avoid talking to people during this time is because they may feel bad/ give some positive shit which is not what I want. You know yourself the best- try starting small and appreciating small wins. Having a motivational self-talk session/ looking in the mirror and giving yourself some positivity might help. Appreciate yourself for how far you have come and remind yourself about your strengths.
Try to get a balance of the basic things that need to be right- Sleep, food, health and water level. Once you get these things in check it will show better results over time.
Having any kind of physical activity or a workout routine will help you fight anxiety. Doing this releases endorphins which trigger a positive feeling in the body. It will also help you reduce stress, improve sleep and help in fighting with anxiety and depression.
If all the above things do not help and you are still stuck with being anxious, then there is just one way out. Confrontation. Ask yourself what is troubling you and analyse your thoughts. Address it and not run away from it. You have to feel the anxiety, be curious about it and seek answers and find out what is really going on. There will always be an underlying message or something youâre trying to run away from and are too weak to confront that. No matter how much you run away from it, sooner or later you will have to face it. This is a long process and you need to be strong and have patience to tackle it.
Lastly, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. This feeling is just temporary. Think of it as your bodyâs way to communicate something with you. We feel this only when we have lost perspective and when we are lacking inspiration. We have to just find ways to get out of the drama going on in our heads and gain perspective. Anxiety is something most of us go through at different levels. We are just too weak to talk about it. It is a part of being human- you are not alone.

As we grow in life, a lot of things change and sometimes it becomes difficult to accept the change and move ahead with the same. To understand your friend situation, first try to think if you were getting married instead of your friend today and if she would have acted the same way what advice would you give to her?
Understand that no matter where she goes in her life she is still gonna be your friend. Even if she seems busy right now you guys can decide upon a day where you can have your conversation with her and also can meet her.
In life people are gonna move ahead in life and we also need to move ahead with them and find new stuff to do that can make u happy. Try figuring out other activities that can make you happy. Any kind of hobbies or any course that you might be interested in. So that you can grow and be happy for yourself.
Also, consult a psychologist to talk about your emotions and how to deal with it in a much better way
It is very much natural to feel this way because you have the valid reasons. You both shared valuable and lovely time with each other. But during these many years you might have not realised and prepared that she has to marry someone and spend quality with him rather with you. Now the situation came, you are started identifying changes in your life without her. It would be painful. The moment you accept this drastic change, your mind shows better ways to deal the present situation in much better way.
You can be the best companion for yourself and if you find any other comfortable companion to share things and spend quality time, then you will find it easy to overcome the present feelings.
Ultimately you will find the way to make yourself happy.
Its completely fine to feel this way...insecurity comes because of fear of loosing loved ones.you need counseling to get purpose and resolve inner conflict
Hi... It's is completely okay to feel this way. You are really close to her and now when she is getting married, it is making you feel bit insecure about how it is going to impact on your life and your relationship with her. To an extent, it is also okay to say mean things as long as you have an insight that this is just happening out of your insecurities. I would suggest that you talk to her about how you are feeling about all this. I believe she will be able to understand your side. We tend to feel this way when there are big changes in our lives but eventually we learn that these changes only help us grow to be a better person. You will be able to deal with this change and will come out better.
