I have by former friends when our friendship ended. They all knew that I have issues with anxiety and depression. Thee way they said it was insulting. If I was that bad, then why would they have ever been my friend at all?

I was made to feel that I should be grateful for whatever "crumbs" they choose to give me at times. I didn't think that I expected that much of them. I did always expect to be treated with kindness, respect, and consideration though.

Do people who don't have issues with anxiety and depression tend to see people like us as being not worthy of being treated with respect? It seems like it to me.

I don't think it's "needy" to want support when you really need it. I'd be there for my friends if they needed someone to listen to them.
