She's constantly stressed and miserable, and I'm starting to struggle to understand why. We broke up, it's true, but it was her choice to leave me because she wasn't happy with me, and now she's a nervous wreck, constantly worrying about me and sweating the details.

She keeps telling me to tell her how I really feel, talk about my feelings with her and don't bottle anything up because it's unhealthy, so I've been honest. Being honest apparently is the wrong choice because every time I am, she tells me it makes her feel bad, stresses her out, etc.

She finally told me just keep my mouth shut re: my thoughts and feelings, and, fine. That's something I know how to do very well, I'm just annoyed.

I'm also worried that I'm going to lose my best friend because she can't stop stressing the minor details. She has anxiety and can't sleep alone, and it really bums me out that I might lose her. I'm probably a lot more sad than I realize, I'm just also very tired and a bit numb, honestly. The realization that she's going to keep banging dudes, possibly even her dude (because I asked her if she was going to see him again, and she said she didn't know, even though she told me she was going to stop. Contradicting statements) is sad, but forced me to start moving on. I stopped my cuddly boyfriend s**t with her, and I need to stop calling her Ubuu. When I finish paying off this computer, I'm going to buy a bed for this room, black out the windows, etc.

It's going to take time to get used to living in separate rooms, but I think it'd be good for us. At the very least, she needs her own space and she can't stand living with me, so it's OK. I'll do whatever it takes to keep her as a friend ^^
