You can always bump a thread by adding another post...
if you aren't getting posts.
You may want to look at forums for "Families and Friends of....."
those are very active....
Yes you revealed a lot more
With what you have experienced in your life...and what you are thinking and feeling....
just keep up with what you are doing....therapy and SR.
Keep your family, friends, involved...
If there is an "attraction" for relationships with people who are mentally ill....you might want to check your local NAMI (National Alliance for the Mentally Ill) see if they have support group for family members....
Keep the focus on yourself....
Personally, I close chapters in my life. Better than to have bridges burnt.
No matter how your ex-friend reacts positive or negative you do not have to react at all. You have positive friends who you spend quality time with.
Rather blunt, but people who don't share the same interests as me, aren't like-minded, are self-absorbed, etc...are just time-wasters...if I let them barriers to my goals.
You can post wherever you want....try another forum too...post that you want advice and suggestions in a secular manner
