Hey there,

You said sometimes your friends make plans and you attend them; do you think it would help if you tried making some plans with them (if you initiated) ? Maybe you'd feel more in control and less lonely that way.

Worrying about losing your friends must be difficult. It might help to know that some things are out of your control as you can only control yourself and not other people, and that worrying too far in the future about losing these friends may be doing more harm than good. Try to focus more in the present than in the future and see if that helps.

When you get that achy feeling when you're doing things alone, maybe you can try some self-care. You could take a warm bath, read a book, take a walk, or do anything that brings you comfort or safety. It's important to utilize self-care; maybe you can try dedicating a little time each day to doing it?
