This friend sounds like an antagonistic person and not someone you enjoy a friendship with. Talking about mental health with her is proving to not be a good idea. Boy, we sure have all gotten into some deep discussions over narcissism, empathy, etc lately… the whole world is talking. But, it isn’t a productive conversation when it feels unsupportive, competitive. The mental health discussion becomes a means to abuse. I suppose it’s best to have the discussion with the professionals instead.
You make so many good points, TishaBuv.

I feel angry with myself that I opened up to her and showed my vulnerability. I am also angry that it was used against me. I didn't ask for that. She really didn't have good intentions. And I don't feel safe with her anymore.

Some professionals are good to talk to, but not all though, in my experience.

I guess one has to find a way to keep on trucking in spite of the hurt and setbacks.

Thank you so much for your feedback! It's appreciated...
