Up until very recently I had a really close friend who I told everything to. It turned out she was just using me for attention and after a very messy confrontation we no longer talk. But this has left me with nobody to talk to, I could tell her things that I couldn't tell anybody else and she always knew exactly what to say. Now she is gone everything is just worse than it was before and there is nobody to talk to about it, I can't talk to my family or friends because there is stuff I don't want them to know. So who is left?
Who to turn to?

Well without knowing anything about your life how is it a question anyone can answer? The Sumaritans will listen if you have no-one else to turn to. Good luck getting it sorted whatever you do.
Ah, i had that problem last year, or was it 2 years ago? something like that 
Basically, there is no solution. You just carry on best you can, hoping you'l find someone else as good soon.
Ranting about it to a couple of online friends helped for a bit, but I know what ya mean about talking about some thigns to only one person.
Nothing to do except hope you find someone else! At least that's what i'm going with, lol.

I can relate, I just bottle things up and let rip on annual basis.
Sometimes talking a problem out can give us more questions than answers and we end up spiralling out of control in thought process. My advice is to do things that occupy your mind. For me computer games do that (strategy ones) I forget thinking about problems and focus at what is happening at hand.

how can she use you for attention if she was a agony aunt?
I know women do love attention and most of them do seek it, but i dont understand here
MSN is a good medium for personal honest chat.
Pick a few Level headed people off here, add them and get to know them.
I find my MSN friends give good honest clear advice as they are detached from the actual situation. Knowone is obligated to chat either so all is good.
See the green man say Hi and away you blab.

Because we talked to each other, she wanted me to tell her everything because it made her feel important not because she wanted to be my friend.
And the end of it she didn't care about me one bit because she had found someone else to do the same thing for.
Could part of the reason that you felt it easy to open up to her, in comparison to anyone else, be because you wanted something more to happen with her?
Depending on how bad your issues are then maybe counselling? It costs but for that hour it's all about you and there's no judgement passed or fall outs.

Of course I wanted something more with her, and she told me she wanted something more with me. The entire problem arose because after spending a week seeing each other every day she just went completely weird with me. Nothing happened just one minute we were out and she was jumping all over me and telling me how great I was, then we got back to hers and she just clammed up. After that she cancelled a date and wouldn't talk to me, I got upset and tried to find out what was wrong and she said she just wanted to be friends. I could have dealt with that except she then tried to convince me nothing had ever happened between us, anything she said was just a complex joke and she then went out of her way to upset me.
Its been almost a month now and I have seen her once when she came up to me in a bar, I got rid of her then but I am left wondering what happened. She wouldn't tell me and doesn't care that we arn't talking any more.
The killer of it is I would have been happy just staying friends with her but she wanted to go out with me, and because of that I fell for her.

Yeah I know what the situation was, I posted in your original thread about it. What I meant was, was the fact that you wanted to get with her the reason why you found it so easy to open up to her or would you have felt like you could anyway?
I think maybe when you actually move on from her then you'll be able to think about other things a bit more rationally because you seem to be clutching on to what could've happened. Maybe there is someone you could talk to but right now you're not seeing it because you're too busy thinking about how she was the person you used to talk to, or maybe you're wary of opening up to anyone else because of how she treated you.
It's not easy being messed around but you really need to start moving on or else it's going to have an adverse effect on your life.

I don't find it easy to open up to any body because of some bad past experiences, shes just another person in a long line of people that kick me in the chest when I let my guard down. She kept telling me I was safe with her and she would never hurt me and I could trust her with myself and look what happened. I think it goes to prove that I am probably better off on my own.

Can't have been much of a good friend if she can't be bothered, sometimes in certain situations people show their true colours.
Don't have girls as your best mate, it gets messy. If anyone here can say its easy then fine I'll take back my comment.
