Why am I taking this so hard?

[Cicero]

So a long time friend and I have stopped talking, we haven't talked for a few months now and I can't believe it. Every time I think of it I grieve. Whenever I see shows me and him used to watch I get sad and can't stop thinking about the fun times we had. We've been friends since 2-3 grade and were in 10th now. Whenever I'd call (a few months ago) and ask if he'd like to hang out, he'd say he's busy. What's making him stop our friendship? As I said we've been friends since 2-3rd grade, so I'm very confused. What can I do to get my mind off him whenever I watch a show we used to watch? Why is he all the sudden stopping our friendship?




*Hes a very old good friend of mine, we've been best friends for 6+ years we used to have sleepover almost every weekend and in 3-5 grade we hung out almost every day.

It seems to me that this is more so about your friendship than depression and grief, so I'm going to move it to Family and Friends.

You could always confront him about it. If you guys were friends for that long he should at least give you the decency to have a serious talk with you about what's going on and why he's flaking out all of the sudden. Just approach him, or you could do it over text/IM (whatever works for you) and ask him what's been going on, tell him how you feel and why you're upset. Thats one thing about a friendship, you're able to talk about things such as this. Let us know how things go, eh? If you need anything you know hot to get to me.

Just ask the guy straight up. Honestly, if it's been a few months and you haven't talked or gotten over it then you deserve an answer and the worst case scenario is you're still where you are now but you have an answer, therefore closure and can move on more easily.
I don't think this friendship is 100% repairable, but it's worth a shot.
