Hi @WeepinWillow,
Firstly, I am sorry you've been going through so much and have not felt heard and supported by your friend. I can imagine that must feel really shitty sometimes.
I have been in a similar position to you and your friend at different times in my journey.
It can be difficult to manage relationships when you're unwell. You don't mean to be selfish, but it can sometimes come across like that.
From your post, it sounds like you've been a very good friend even when things were really hard for you. That's a strength.
I was wondering if you've shared how you've been feeling with your friend? I know that they are struggling, but maybe they don't even realise how it has been impacting you.
Sending you lots of support, and please keep on connecting here. I hope you find this to be a place where you feel heard.
