Input: I'm still at school, and I've been friends with this girl for a few years now. Anyway, she told me she has depression. I know, not from experience however, that mental disorders are very difficult to get through and it helps to have someone there to be with you. That is what I'm trying to do, seeing as I'm her friend and all. During this post, I'll call her F (random letter).


However, at the moment if feel like I'm walking on eggshells around her. From early on in the friendship, she has gone into these moods where she doesn't talk to anyone, and seems to be angry at everyone. She is allowed to take a friend in past the queue at lunchtimes because of her diabetes (unrelated), but sometimes we sit there not talking at all, or she's just complaining about everything I say/do. For example:

Me- *spills food accidently*

F- *rolls eyes*. 

Or:

Me- what lesson have you got next?

F- physics. With Mr randomteacher, who doesn't like me.

Me- why? 

F- *rolling eyes* I come in late every day because I need to check my blood sugar.

Me- He won't hate you for that, he knows why you're late.

F- *rolls eyes again, gives yes/no or silent answers for rest of day*. 

One time, she blatantly ignored me all day. The reason? "I didn't feel like talking". 


I'm quite shy, so I struggle to make friends, but I am quite bubbly when I feel comfortable with someone, aka my good friends. So I happen to have another few friends, who aren't my best friends, but I can chat and have a laugh with them. We share a pe class. F is also in my pe class. If I go over to them for a couple minutes, and laugh with them, I get death glares off F for the rest of the day, which triggers a mood. Sometimes I feel like I can't be around those people if she's nearby, but I don't want to sit and mope with her during pe. 


My phone is shit. Sometimes texts do not go through, the WiFi cuts out during a WhatsApp conversation, and I go offline. Sometimes it can take ages until everything's working again. It takes ages sometimes to post a simple comment on reddit. One time, I was asked by F to send her the notes from a lesson she missed due to an absence, and I said I'll try to get them to you via WhatsApp. She doesn't have Facebook messenger or anything other than WhatsApp, and my phone charges me for pictures over normal SMS. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the photos over due to having to do my homework, have my dinner and go out shopping with my mam, all after school. When I returned home, my phone broke again. I explained this to her the next day, and she started ranting about how I never reply to her. I've explained the issue.


One day in pe, she was whispering to another girl about something. I get on with this other girl, and she basically told me it's personal between F and her, but she wanted F to tell me and asked me to talk to her. F had seemed distant, so I asked her, and basically said I wouldn't ever judge her if there was a secret she was hiding from me. Then I was told by F that I would be ok if I went to leave her during lunch to use the computers. I had no homework to do, F knew this, and she was hinting at me to go away. 

I got a text later on that night, with F asking me exactly when she seemed distant, and why I was asking her about it. 
In summary of the 10pm conversation:
Me- You've seemed distant for a while. 

F- What about last Wednesday? Was I not distant then? Why are you asking me now?

I got upset, as I felt like I had to ask her every time she seemed upset, but if I do that it's wrong, because she'll roll her eyes.

Today: what made me want to post this. 
I went out during the weekend to meet a friend. It was a school-type event so lots of people from school would be there and I texted F and another friend if they wanted to come the same day, but I would understand if they couldn't, as it was spontaneous. Remember the phone situation? Only one message went through, as I sent them individually and locked the screen as F's message was going through, so hers didn't get through without me knowing until today, when my other friend told me why she couldn't come, and F glared at me. I suddenly realised that she may not have received the message, and I apologised and told her that my phone was still acting up. She was silent, whenever I said hi all day she'd storm past me. Now I think she was talking crap about me because she was whispering with this boy in my class, and glancing at me, trying to be subtle. I don't know if this was true, or it was me becoming paranoid after what's happened in the past. I noticed I can't talk to my friends, but she's still talking to who she wants to.

I'm trying my hardest to understand/ not be a jerk about her depression, but it's tough. I feel emotionally drained at this point, as I just want to get through school with good grades, as well as enjoying parts of it, but I feel like F is taking over my life. I want to separate myself from her, but I don't know her experience.
