    I have a big group of friends, in fact, in this big group of friends, there are many little groups of friends. We've all been friends for a really long time. But it seems like we're in moving on, and don't really have anything in common anymore, some have new jobs, relationships, friends. I've begun to accept that this change is going to happen, everyone's trying to carry on as normal, in denial that we're all drifting apart, but it's happening. I feel myself that I'm moving on, and have been ever since I joined Uni last year, only I'm still living at home, so I get to see these friends, and I have a part time job, so I don't really get to see them as much anymore. My fear is, while the inevitable is happening, how do I make new friends? Who am I actually going to socialise with? I'm really scared that I'm gonna be left without friends. Outside of the group, I only have about 2 other close friends

    I have gone through lots of changes with friends but sometimes you later reconnect too! I have found good friends in places where I have real interests in things...jobs, lessons or classes, support groups. You do grieve losing any close relationship but I like to think we each helped each other along the journey so that effect is permanent and lasting...not lost.
