Hey @User167
I'm so sorry to hear that you've been treated and disrespected that way.
It must not be nice to have someone who is supposed to be a good friend in your circle, talk about you and your other friend in such a negative way. And I'm sorry she invalidated your hurt and sadness. Regardless of whether that friend has struggles with mental health, it is not ok for her to treat you in such a manner and then not take responsibility for that and apologise afteward.
I can see why you would feel hurt and why this would be affecting you. Especially for the comments to be made about your body in front of boys, that must have felt really upsetting.
As hard as it can be, if this kind of behaviour continues and you and your other friend are continuing to feel hurt, it may be necessary to set some firm boundaries within your friendships. It's important to look after your friends especially when they're struggling with mental health, but it's most important to help yourself. It sounds selfish, but really it's the truth that you need to help yourself before you help others. If you're feeling really low yourself and don't have the capacity in you to do anything more, how can you best support your friends? It's important to look after yourself and take care of your wellbeing too, even if it may mean stepping away from that friendship for a little bit or just creating some more space.
How are you feeling about your friendship with this person after having experienced these things?
