Hey @User167 I'm sorry to hear that you are having such a negative experience with this friend. I think it was very brave of you and your friend to confront her, I imagine that would have been very difficult.
Sounds like this person has some stuff going on, and is behaving very poorly as a response. Even still, having mental health issues is no excuse for being cruel to others, and you and your close friend don't deserve to go through this.
After you confronted her, did she change her behaviour, or has it continued? If it has continued, do you think you and your close friend will want to continue hanging out with her?
Might be something worth chatting to a trusted adult or school counsellor about, especially if it continues. It's not surprising this has impacted you so much, it would be a very distressing thing to have to deal with.
You might find some of our articles helpful - we've got one about How to tell your friend they've hurt you, ways to deal with, or ways to end a toxic friendship, as well as a collection of resources about bullying.
