Feel strange

Hi, title doesn't really match what I am trying to say or anything, I am a bit of a mess at the moment and so if this post isn't very coherent then I am really sorry.

Just woke up to find a letter in my kitchen that my flat mate, who I have become very close to has left and doesn't know if she is coming back. this is because last night she was mugged at knife point and dragged into the park right next to our halls, luckily she is OK physically but they took everything and now she has gone home.

I found out on my way to uni and I haven't stopped crying since, I know its weird because I have only known her a week as thats how long she has been here. I just don't know what to do, I feel scared. I have lived here 2 years with my boyfriend, he has now moved down south and I am terrified.

It's sounds childish but I just want my mum, so I think I am going to go home for the weekend in the next half an hour.

I just feel so stupid for being so worked up about it, I'm just angry and scared. x

Oh dear

All I can say is give your mum a ring and just let it all out on the phone - she's your mum, she'll want to make it all better.

Poor you having to deal with all this, and your poor friend being put through that horrible ordeal. I suppose the most you can do is be there for her, maybe send her a text or email telling her that you care and that you're ready to support her, no matter what she decides.

Don't let what happened to her affect your uni experience though, as hard as it is... Chin up, and don't worry - you have lots of people there to support you :smile:

I can imagine you do feel angry and scared - it's a natural reaction!

As for being upset about your friend, quite often when we get put in situations such as living with someone, we form v strong bonds v quickly so its normal to be upset. Ring her and see how she is, tell her that you will support her decision but also that you miss her and hope she comes back.

It is horrible what happened to her so you are probably in a bit of shock... take it all step by step, hopefully your friend has reported this to the police, and just make sure that you take care when out - tell someone where you are going, when you ar going, how long you will be and try not to go out alone.
