Re: Anon saying no to pushy friend

Your last paragraph is ringing so true. I think she's really spiralling out if control and it's bad to watch but I've finally got My life in control and I don't want to lose it.

There is some angry spite at how unhelpful and harmful our friendship was when I was at rock bottom and I don't want to be there again, I've worked so hard at 'beating' depression and getting this job and making friends and hobbies. And I don't want the lurking depression to come back. She makes me so anxious I can't think and I'm not good at responding straight awY or saying no :(

It's okay. Extricating oneself from relationships like this is hard, especially because you know what it's like to be down and your instinct is to be kind and forgiving. That's very nice of you. Unfortunately, you can pour all your niceness into this friendship and it can still go nowhere because this girl isn't ready to work on it.

The friendship doesn't sound like it's improving, despite your efforts. That's a big clue to NOT put any more effort into it, especially if it's a cost to yourself.
