So...I've had a friend for 7 years. We've always been there for each other through thick and thin.
In the last two years I've had a baby, and things were good until recently.
My work contract ended so I had no job to go back to... And I've been applying for jobs left right and centre. Eventually I've had a string of interviews, who my friend was referee for.
Successful on one occasion, but my friend text saying "awkward I've got 12 hour shifts every day and haven't got time to write your reference haha"
I'd replied saying it's fine, I'll ask someone else. And she said it's okay she'll write it.
But she didn't write it. I messaged to check she was still happy to and she confirmed. But she never wrote it.
I lost the opportunity of the job.
The last two years I've struggled with depression and anxiety, my friend knows this. And the job was going to be a new start for me.
I feel so let down. Particularly as I have stayed awake after working night shifts for days with her, doing her essays etc with her (pre baby) and always been the first to offer her help (post baby).
I just can't decide to let her go and get on with my life or if something bigger is happening. I did try and speak to her and see if everything was okay but I got "I'm fine, why wouldn't I be"
I just don't know what to think
