My friend and I have been friends for years. I wouldn’t exactly say we were extremely close or anything. But we have met up or kept in touch over the years as I moved away. She split with her boyfriend last year and has to sell the house they share. She also suffers with mental health issues and she goes to therapy for this.
I have been going through a really tough time myself and spoken a little bit about it. We have been there for eachother etc. I’ve been so busy with work and doing things and have been quite tired but she keeps talking about her problems in depth all the time. It’s turned to the point she doesn’t really ask how I am or doesn’t discuss anything outside the issues that she has. She even tells me about her therapy etc. it’s starting to push me away as a friend. I’m always there for her but I feel more like a therapist than a friend now. This has been going on for a few months now.
I had a weekend away recently and just wanted to switch off and relax as I’ve been so tired and busy. She knew I was away and she messaged me several lengthy messages on different social media platforms about her problems. This annoyed me as I thought she’d give me some breathing space. I then ended really sick for a few days to the point looking my phone made me feel sick. I told her and said I’d contact her when I was a bit better. She told me to get rest then proceeded to go on about her issues again. I was distant recently because if it and I’ve tried to be there more while recovering from a bad bug but she hasn’t asked me once if I’m feeling any better. What should I do? I care about her but I feel like it’s unfair
