Ever since I spoke with one of my closest girlfriends this morning, I have felt completely drained of all energy - it's like she sucked the life force out of me. I have an interview to prep for tomorrow, and I haven't been able to truly devote my energy to prepping. I had called her so that I could receive some support, yet she turned the conversation around to be all about her life complaints for about 40 minutes. She didn't even pause so that I could respond. It was an endless spew of her issues. I didn't even get the support that I had initially called about. She does this once in a while. She also interrupts and talks over me constantly. Sometimes I can’t get a word in.

Another girlfriend continuously disappoints me because she has no follow through and is completely unreliable. She says let's do something today, then won't follow up. Or she'll tell me she'll call me that day and she won't. She has cancelled plans on me twice and I am basically fed up with the constant disappointment in her.

A third friend texts me nearly everyday about the abuse he is experiencing from his girlfriend. It’s all negative crap and it drains me.

I am going through a divorce and I just recently became unemployed - yet again.

I am facing my own issues, and these few friends are starting to drive me nuts and take my energy away.

I think I need to back off from them and take care of myself. I am fed up with each of them... and I know I need new friends, too. That's not happening right now while I am stressed and unemployed looking for work.

Are these three people toxic for me?????
