I have a friend that I have known for 13 years and now she won’t even talk to me because She says she can’t handle me right now. Since the last time I saw her I’ve gotten a lot better about being more private about my mental health and only sharing with the right people.
She won’t even read any of my messages or go out with friends if i’m going to be there. It hurts a lot and I just feel so lost and sad that she hates me so much.
I don’t know how to get her back, and if she ever does come back I feel like I’m going to be upset with her, especially because I helped her when she was going through the same thing. I don’t know what she wants me to do.

Sadly, the people that we help are not often there for us in our time of need.
You can’t get her back if she doesn’t to be “back”.
Allow the pain to show you what you already know is true.
sometimes the people that we think are going to help us are not going to do it, It´s sad.
I recently lost my best friend in much the same way. I completely understand your pain….especially after being there for them. Maybe you’ve heard the quote: “there are shadow friendships that appear only when the sun shines.” You shouldn’t have to hide your mental health from a real friend. Trust me, it’s a slippery slope. Pretend with one person and soon it will be two and then three. Before you know it there is nothing left of the real you and that’s exhausting!
