You don't need to judge yourself for how you feel. It's okay to be angry with your friend for their addiction. It's okay that you feel differently about these two friends and their issues. They are different people, you are going to feel different things. I don't think you need to analyze why you feel differently. Just acknowledge that you do, and it's because they are different people in different situations.
I get that you feel some guilt about treating them differently, but they are different people. There's a different between an addict and someone who is suicidal. Not saying the deserve any less compassion, but how you deal with them will be different. It's natural.
Go easy on yourself.
