I've recently fell out with a friend. We both struggling with depression and during her lows I was very supportive. When I had a low (and she was on a mania high from her antidepressants) i found she wasn't as supportive of me as I was of her. When I raised this she got deeply offended. Having talked through the situation with my therapist I've seen how she has used guilt, manipulation and gaslighting in order for me to do things the way she wants them done. Once I stopped playing into her hands I received a message from her saying she didn't want to be close friends anymore, just aquaintences. However she has now started to blank me entirely. We have a do coming up where a group of us mum's are going for a meal out and entertainment, I've already paid the deposit. What I'm worried about is that she's the kind of person who would have gone round to the other people in the group and completely played the victim and slagged me off, about half of rhe people will side with her and the other half will be neutral. She's also sent a few messages asking if I'm still going as she's going to be there (narcissistic much?) Anyway it's massively flared up my anxiety. I want to go but she's been such and awful person in the last few month, has lied to me, has gossiped, has only cared when she's been nosey/to get information etc. Im happier without her in my life and I want to go to this do, I'm just unsure if I can handle all the backstabbing and bitching behind my back and all the judgement on me. It also saddens me that such a two faced person can be so easily accepted on face value. What woukd you do in this situation?
