I've been holding off talking to my one friend about something for months. I initially prayed for God's timing on it and a few times, God's answer was no each time. But now, well, how can I explain this....

My sister moved out back in Oct and, I've visited her a few times bc she's been lonely but, the last 3 times she has gotten on me about a few things and it has really really hurt me and I let her know but, she also brought this friend into her talks and it angered me but, last week, what my sister said to me, really hurt me even more so now I have all these thoughts going through my head about what my sister said about me and my life and what she mentioned about my friend.

I am getting closer and closer to telling my friend about it bc it's getting harder and harder for me to keep this in.

It doesn't bother me to tell him what my sister said to me about me/my life though, that too will be very difficult but, what is going to be even more difficult is to tell him what my sister said about him and me and that is something I've been putting off because I don't want to cause any issues but, my sister keeps pressuring and although I tell her to stop or I'll stop visiting her, she usually gives me her word that she'll stop yet, she never does. Not sure how to handle theses things -- knowing I need to speak to him about all this and soon.

I've been depressed lately and my friend can tell I'm not the same and that something is bothering me but, he's being respectful and giving me space.

Tell your friend. Stop putting it off.
Stop visiting your sister and tell her why.
She is in an abuse pattern and basically you've letting her get away with it. She has no consequences because you threaten, but don't follow through. And you keep her words secret from the people she's trashing. Long as you enable her she will continue. You want change, act. Don't sit on your hands.
