That sucks. I'm sorry to hear that and sorry you're going through that.

That must hurt deeply. So sorry you have been told that. Depression isn't contagious and people who are depressed need support. I am not quite sure what she is afraid of but it may not be rational. Are you going to tell your friend? HUGS!

I don't think so. Her mom and her already fight like dogs, I don't need to fan the fire.

Your friend's mom might be right that you're "toxic", but that's assuming her daughter admitted that to her. Or, her mother might be jumping to conclusions (which I think is a fair argument). See, sometimes our depressive states are triggering; other times they're not. It all depends on the individual.

To give you an example, when I'm pretty depressed/glum, I don't actually trigger anyone in my family, even when I feel my shittiest.

In my opinion, I would sit down with your friend and ask her to be honest with you. I personally think that's the best course of action. You need to make sure her mother isn't jumping to conclusions. You just don't need to bring her mother up in the conversation or mention that she thinks you're triggering. Just say you're wondering if you trigger her.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
