I am currently suffering from a bout of depression, every time I seem to be getting back on the straight and narrow, a friend of mine (best friend apparently) seems to go out of her way to make sure I am knocked back down and it is starting to really get me down!
All week she has had the 'I know best and your ideas are worthless' head on her. Which is fine, but don't ask me for my opinion if you are then going to say that it is rubbish.
This morning I have decided to have my first lie in in months (I have also been having slight insomnia so a lie is a God send. I got up with the better half and saw him off to work, then jumped back into bed for an hour. I had just started to nod of when I got a message off her asking what i thought was wrong with her horse.
I told her it was a rub from his rug. At which point she went off on a tangent saying it was ring worm which is seriously contagious! I then offered to go up the yard and look at the horse when I got chance..
I dragged me self out of bed and went to the yard (a mile and a half walk) I got there to find out that the Yards owner had looked at horse and confirmed it was just a rub. I didnt get a thank you, a sorry you walked up for nothing, nothing.. all I got was 'Well its Lou's fault because x y and z'
Im sorry for whinging and reading this back it sounds so petty. But it has drove me crackers!

i know how you are feeling babe ... i had depression at my worst for 4 1/2 years .... and it was my mother that told me that everything was my fault etc etc ... in the end i had to cut contact with her for a while ...i had to put me first and you have to do the same .
Huge sympathy for you. Also have lived with bouts of depression, it is so hard fighting to keep yourself going through a bad patch. Obviously I don't really know the backstory here, especially since I'm a newbie! And I may be a little off-whack, if I am, I apologise! But I was wondering if there's any chance that your reactions to your friend are being coloured by the depression? I'm not saying this to defend her, or saying you're overreacting, but it would be a shame to fall out if you can see it in a different light when the fog lifts. (I've caused some quite serious damage to my friendships when I've not been well) Does she know how bad you're feeling at the moment? If not, would it be worth having a chat about it, letting her know you need her to be a bit more supportive.
Best wishes to you, if I'm completely wrong and she is just a piece of work, I agree with the above! I hope you feel better soon!
