Anyways. About 3 weeks ago, the day before my birthday, I was quite distressed from working a stressful job and not really being able to rest at all for the whole weekend. I started panicking and withdrew so I wouldn’t have a panic attack and what/not. I struggle with schizophrenia, and meds aren’t always 100% effective. Or even usually to be honest. (yay 3rd world country) I began stressing out and having hallucinations of different versions of myself, and each one was criticising me for failing at my job, relying on drugs to live, etc etc. One of my friends girlfriends noticed how badly I was feeling and she offered to walk with me a bit outside to cool down without seeming rude. I obviously accepted, and soon we were chatting about stuff when I suddenly broke down. I started talking about an insecurity I was struggling with. Since I have an extremely low self-esteem tied to my dad leaving my family, I find it difficult to believe that anyone truly cares for me and will stay around for me.

I expressed this to her (I’ll call her J) and talking to her really helped. I was able to sort out some of those feelings, and she was able to help me realise just how deep the damage was, which I am forever grateful for.

The next day I was walking home with her boyfriend (M). We stopped because of an owl, and he revealed that she had told him about my insecurity. M apologised for not showing that he cared about me enough. See, M had once been my best friend about 6 years ago, and he was honestly my only friend. If it wasn’t for M, my depression and schizophrenia probably would have driven me off the rails and ended me by the time I was 16.

I immediately felt betrayed. I felt like I had shared something super personal with J and she told M without even asking me first. As soon as I got home, I sent her a text saying “I know you told M, and that really hurt. I thought I could trust you. Please don’t try to contact me for a while.”  

Some of my other friends who learned a bit of the story told me that J was just trying to do her best to help any way she could. I haven’t spoken to her about it since.

AITA for wanting to cut her off because of this situation? Should I try to see it from her point of view or am I justified in feeling betrayed?
