Is it petty of me to get annoyed by my best friend like this?

Anonymous

My best friend is 27 and I'm 28. She has gone through a lot like depression and some significant life stresses.

I've been there for her and I withheld telling her my problems because I didn't want to burden her since she was going through depression.

She got help and she's on antidepressants. She's in a better place now and I've been telling her my stress now whenever something awful happens and she totally disregards what I say to her and just goes straight into her drama.

She's done it enough where it's getting annoying. When she tells me her problems I am generous when I help her and try to make her feel better. I talk about it with her for like an hour or more and really try to help her.

And she barely does that for me, or if she replies it's only a few things and then she'll go straight into her drama or she won't even acknowledge it at all. It's annoying me, she's been doing it for months now. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to come off needy or self-centered.

Yesterday I told her I was harassed by some dirty old man and she didn't even reply to it and started telling me about how she's excited her boyfriend and her are getting a new king size bed. And I'm starting to feel I am losing my patience.

Am I being petty? I feel like calling her out on it but I don't know how to word it.
