^^ Thanks, Trippin2.0.
Yes, I agree there needs to be give and take. I usually do push myself through depression and try to do things to achieve that balance. I consider myself a people pleaser most of the time, but certain things are just asking too much. For instance, traveling requires having extra money, getting time off from work, etc. So if it were me and a friend straight up told me they couldn't go on a trip, I would understand. It's not like I told the person yes, then backed out. (but now I'm just venting).
I think moving forward, my friend is just going to have to realize I do try my best to "be there," but there needs to be respect that I can't do everything she wants me to do. I think she takes it as rejection since she's had a lot of trust issues in the past, but that's something for her to work on. I do feel for her since she has a lot going on. She did apologize for some of the things she's said. Hopefully we'll cool off and come to an understanding and that this won't continue to affect our friendship. I think it might also help to talk to her about BP. Thanks for your feedback!
