My best friend just got back in contact with me from being in the hospital for a month for his severe anorexia nervosa. He told me that his potassium got so dangerously low that his heart stopped and that they had to restart it. He had a feeding tube put in (but didn’t tell me that part, I found that out from his dad who my friend has largely cut out of his life). Neither his dad nor I know the full truth apparently but I’m more privy to the fucked up dynamics between my friend and his partner, who makes me so angry for all of that partner’s verbal abuse over the past few years, worsening since the pandemic. 
My therapist thinks I should go visit my friend since he may not be around in another few months, at the rate his health is declining. He lives a couple states over from me. 

Im just in complete disbelief about it…..we’ve best friends for over a decade. Shocked and heartbroken.
