Have you ever done the right thing, but felt like shit afterwards?
I just had to report something to the police that will probably end a very close friendship of mine, but it was something that was totally not okay and I had to do it. But I still feel like a piece of shit for it. Have you ever felt like this and how did you get through it?

Maybe you feel like a piece of shit because you didn't do the right thing and you know it. We can't know, because you don't want to give details, and that's OK. But, was this "totally not OK" thing "really fucked up", or just "totes not cool bro"? If it's the latter you probably got involved in something that was none of your business, if it's the former then maybe you should contemplate why you feel like shit? If you stopped something really fucked up from continuing then you did the right thing. If this close friendship will end because of it, why does your friend have a problem with you reporting it?
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. OP didn't provide enough info and you worked through the cases.
It's because I mentioned the remote possibility that OP didn't do the right thing and should feel bad, and you can't do that, you have to make emotional assumptions and give advice with no information whatsoever.
