I haven’t talked to a friend in 9 months, I got on a new medication and it made me lose myself, I can’t describe it but it feels like the past 9 months haven’t even happened. I got off of it and now I want to reach back out, but I feel horrible

I know this advice sounds blunt but I’d say just reach out, explain what happened and take responsibility for your actions and how you feel about not talking for so long. I had a similar situation happen to me but that’s my best friend, she understood completely and we talked it out.

I also got wildly sick for a while because of a reaction to another medication and I never realized how much time passed, things have been crazy. We still share locations with each other, and we’re still friends on everything, I just don’t know what to do or how to even reach out

It sounds like you have a pretty good excuse, at least

Just reach out, be honest and tell them what happened and that you want to be friends. If they’re a real friend they will at least understand that.
