I tried to tell my sister. she didn't believe me.

a week or two ago, I told my best friend. I think he might have forgotten.

but...I really want to talk about it.

really.

and I know that...I know that that sounds weird. but...I feel like I need to talk about it. I'm having nightmares EVERY NIGHT and...and...

how do I bring it up to a friend that might have forgotten it even happened? Because, I'm sure he'll listen.  I'm positive.  trust me, he will.

I just.....I really need to talk about this. I need to get it out of me...

how do I...start the conversation? How do I talk to him about it?

He might think its akward to bring it up, but he didnt forget about it. If you need to talk about it with him just tell him you want to talk about it. He will remember..

If you want to talk about it with someone who doesnt know you, then you can always message me. I would love to hear from you

Why do you believe that he forgot?

...mostly, it's just my paranoia convincing me that he forgot. I don't know if he ever really believed me to begin with...

Counselors are wonderful people who devote their lives to helping people just like you.

I hope the best for you.

As for starting the conversation... well, however you do it, it's going to be difficult. I would think that maybe your friend hasn't forgotten, because something like that would be pretty difficult to forget coming from your best friend, but perhaps he just doesn't know whether or not you want to talk about it? Or maybe he doesn't know what to say? However, if you really feel like you want to talk to him then you absolutely should. Maybe just start by bringing up the previous conversation you had. Asking him if you can have a chat, and let him know what's on your mind. Just saying, "remember when I told you about what happened at my sister's party? well, i really could do with talking about it" and taking it from there, y'know?

Maybe even write him a wee letter if you can't think of all the words off the top of your head.

If things don't work out the way you plan in regards to telling him, would you possibly think of telling someone else? Like a parent or professional?

Best of luck to you, though. I hope you manage to get the words out to him, and that you feel a wee bit better after speaking to him.
