(Providing Suggestions) I am glad. Practicing mindfulness can really help, and help put things in perspective. Often times we build things up to be even worse than they already are. Being able to be grateful for what's around can help, without diminishing the issues that you are facing.

(Providing Suggestions) If you are healthy/feel comfortable with going out, you could consider volunteering at an animal shelter.

Makes me happy to think of him sys : (Providing Suggestions) If you are healthy/feel comfortable with going out, you could consider volunteering at an animal shelter. You'd get to interact with some folks, some animals, and add something to the resume. I don't know if you are likely to get hours back at work or what you do, but that could be fun! usr : Thats a good idea I'll look into it. Well we better wrap this hit up? sys : (Others) I believe it needs to be a minimum of 20 minutes and we are at 17 right now. sys : (Others) For the max that is, lol. usr : Oh sorry thought it was 15 minutes.

Have you spoken to her about how she upset you? usr : I did. I took a few days to cool off and then told her that her comments hurt me. I know that she's aware of my financial situation as well as the fact that I am disabled. Her response was that she said nothing wrong.
(Question) Thats a tough spot to be in with a friendship that has lasted so long. Does she tend to treat you like this regularly?

Does she tend to treat you like this regularly? usr : No, she really never has. Typically, she feels like other people walk all over her and take advantage of her, but that's never been me and its never been our relationship.
(Information) Then would you say its a little odd for her to be acting in this manner towards you?

At times over the years she can become quite self absorbed. But she's never been so downright hurtful. I can't really see a way for our relationship to be the same anymore.
(Providing Suggestions) I would agree that the relationship is getting a bit toxic but before terminating such a long relationship i would do one thing. I would try to see if there is something going on in her life right now for her to be acting like this. Sometimes people dont know how to talk about something thats bothering then and it in turn comes out as anger or spite.
