Hello Kerri! I understand this is a difficult situation for you.

You want to know how you could get your friend back. First of all, I invite you to have a look at the FRIENDS section of our website where you’ll find the “Problems with friends” rubric. But you know, for a conflict to be resolved, everyone has to make an effort. Tell me, do you think your friend is ready to resolve that conflict? If that’s not the case, what can you do? You can decide to continue asking her to talk to you. If she still doesn’t want to, how will you feel? You can also decide to write her how you feel, what you think about the situation, etc. Sometimes, writing (an e-mail or a letter) instead of talking can help. What do you think? Finally, you could also decide to give your friend some time. After a while, we can sometimes see a situation with a different eye and we can then be ready to find solutions.

For now, what helps you feel better when you think about this situation? It’s important for you to change your mind and to find activities that help you feel better. Can your friends help you? Talking about what we’re going through can help.

Don’t hesitate to call us directly if you wish to talk to a counsellor. We are there for you 24/7 at 1 800 263-2266. Take care!
