Wow!! I'm sorry that this so called "friend" is treating you this way. That was a very judgmental thing for him to say.
Have you expressed to him that he is hurting your feelings and that the way he speaks to you is not helping "inspire" you to keep working at it? Have you stopped him while he's talking and said "I feel that your comments are judgmental and they hurt my feelings"?
The only person you have to live up to is you. If you are truly doing your best for the emotional/mental space you are in at the moment, then that is all you can ask of yourself. Your "job" right now is to take care of you, first and foremost, and sometimes that is a very difficult thing to do.
If you are having more difficulty right now with the dissociative symptoms, I would encourage you to speak with your T, if you are currently working with one, to see how you can work with it to decrease it.
You have a lot on your plate right now. Maybe not as much as others who don't have emotional and mental challenges, but enough for what you are dealing with. You don't need to "impress" anyone!! Just keep on trucking....wake in the morning....get your feet on the ground.....do your basics (brush teeth, change clothes, etc) and put one foot in front of the other and don't forget to breathe. Sometimes it's all you can do for the moment.
Good for you for not giving up!!!
