I think what you described is what I am feeling right now too. You don't want your friend to "fix" you. Sometimes we say things not for someone to give us the answer, but just to release those feelings. I feel so very lonely in my feelings. I have nobody to confide in - nobody that will just listen to what I am going through - nobody that will judge. Sometimes i just want to scream at people to just listen. I don't want anyone to provide an "answer" to something that really has no answer at all. Have you thought of laying it totally on the line to your friend? maybe there is a verse or something that you can use to do it with. your friend has to realise that when you NEED to let it out, you are doing it for You not Her. In her mind she wants to help you, hates seeing you hurting but she needs to stop and think "what does my friend need of me right now? Does she want me to suggest a path to an answer, or does she just need to be listened to?" Hope it helps. p.s. I will listen if you need to talk. Everyone needs someone who will just listen.
