Close friend said my mental illness makes her feel better about herself?

[Anonymous]

My close friend from uni got really drunk the other day and she said she had been into my room “accidentally”, read my private stuff and saw my mental health medication. She said she “didn’t mean to do it” but that “now she knows I suffer from mental health issues and it makes her feel better because it means I’m less perfect.” She said I’m “perfect so depression makes me look less perfect.” Like what the f. Isn’t that messed up?

Depends what way you take it, she thought you were perfect, it's clearly not the case cause no one is perfect but it says that she looked up to you as someone perfect, the fact that she told you, kinda seems like she wasn't trying to be mean, just the truth, it made her feel better that you aren't perfect, If you want you can get insulted by it and stop being friends with her, whatever you decide I guess

Damn wut?

What kind of friendship is this when one feels better by belittling the other using their mental illness?
If she was a good friend, she should have helped you with your issues or at least be there for you.

Very shitty of her to behave like that.

That's extremely shitty for a friend to say.

Some people here may say "but you can take it as she thought you were perfect" and "it is a compliment"... do not listen to them...

Any good friend that sees that stuff would not say that. They would be more empathetic or compassionate. Not selfish like your friend was by saying that.

Ew what kinda friend does that. She snooped through your personal things THEN had the audacity to tell you it makes her feel better? She’s not a friend

The imperfections began with her "accidentally" being in your room.
