Poop has hit the fan

Poop has well and truly hit the fan and I’m trying to put it politely as I can. I can’t stop worry about my friend Rikki. If I don’t hear from him I panic so much and I can’t control it. Today I was supposed to be seeing him this evening so this morning I call him via WhatsApp. He doesn’t answer I then start thinking what if he he dead what if he ill and so on. I call again and again and he turns his phone off causing me to panic even more. Eventually I’m in such a state where I’m shaking making myself sick and I have to go check on him. I phoned the Samaritans and I think that was a bad idea because the person was pushing me to get to his flat which I did and I tried calling out to him a few minutes after doing that he messages me and he annoyed. He now wants a break I’m blocked and I’m not seeing him later. I only became like this after his heart attack and open heart surgery which happened over 2 years ago since then he gave up smoking cigarettes and vaping. He is fit and and active but I still worry constantly about him. I lost my mum to a heart condition I don’t want to lose my best friend either. That’s why I get so carried away I’m trying to have therapy for my behaviour and I’m at the point where I’m reflecting on my actions after they happen and sometimes I can control myself. He says to me I have a heart of gold but my head is messed up. He really thinks the world of me and I know we are still friends but I’m I’m really upset because he doesn’t want to talk or see me for a few days and this is going to trigger my worries about him and his heart. I really don’t know what to do I don’t want to be like this I want to start thinking he ok I just don’t know how though.

  • Update I had a long chat with Rikki last night and he heard me shouting his name outside his window yesterday and to make things worse after he messaged me annoyed and blocked me I was leaving the area and he drove past me in his car and he saw me. The good news is I’m unblocked but there is still a bit of upset lurking and he says I need to let him go. Before anyone gets the wrong idea he doesn’t mean as a friend he means the fears in my head about him we are still friends. If things go well I will see him on Sunday. My mum was 66 when she died me and my dad where heartbroken my dad has remarried recently but he still loves my mum but had to move on. Today now I don’t have to panic over Rikki as he messaged me to say he working and not for me to contact him until this evening. 

  • It's good that you managed to talk to him and are more comfortable.

    Maybe you do need to talk to someone about this though.
