I hate my best friend

Over time, I’ve grown to dislike her more and more. I thought it’d go away, since for a while, these waves of distaste would come in waves for an hour or two and then if I saw her, they’d go away. Now, my hatred of her remains when I am near her, being texted by her, or even just thinking of or being reminded of her. It isn’t just annoyance, but full on anger and sometimes disgust over every little thing.
I‘m not entirely sure why it started happening except for the fact that we had started getting closer and she was more attached than I was and I lost the desire for connection. I wasn’t in the place to invest in any type of relationship or friendship, especially one where I can’t return anything. But instead of falling back into being acquainted, I have just started to despise her. Part of it might be that she has a few mental health issues, and I have bad correlations with those because of difficult times with family members growing up, but my other friends and I myself have my own problems. When she was most comfortable with me, she had started to give me details about her deeper psychosis and I was not the right person to hear that. Moreover, she is actively getting help, but i

Full Inbox for Microsoft Team, Unable to Delete

We have a Microsoft Team for a department that has a full inbox. When you delete messages, they reappear within seconds. I contact support and they said there is a retention policy attached to the inbox. They asked me to run these two commands, that fail:
* Set-Mailbox "username" -RemoveDelayHoldApplied
* Set-Mailbox "username" -RemoveDelayReleaseHoldApplied
After relaying that they failed, this was the response:
However, further review confirmed that (the email) is a Microsoft 365 Group (Teams) mailbox, not a standard mailbox type. For Group/Teams mailboxes, delay holds are enforced at the compliance layer and are automatically managed by Microsoft. As a result, these delay holds cannot be manually removed using Exchange PowerShell, and the above commands do not take effect for this mailbox type.
 Although the mailbox has been excluded from the applicable retention policy, Microsoft applies a mandatory **delay hold period (up to approximately 30 days)** after removal or exclusion.
This is ridiculous. Is it true that you have to wait up to 30 days? Is there a better alternative solution here?

How do you deal with pet loss?

We lost our cat very suddenly this morning. She was 16 so an older cat but she had no health issues that we were aware of. We don’t know what caused it. She died at home so I’m thankful for that.
I’m in shock and keep expecting her to appear. I can’t believe she is gone. I’ve cried all day and I wish I could see her one more time.
How do you deal with losing a pet?
Edit: thank you so much I’m reading all the comments and I appreciate them so much. I can’t believe how many of you have taken the time to reply with such lovely words. I’m so sorry for all of you who have experienced this too.
