Run of CF-ery or do I need to work on my boundaries?

NC after many years of MN presence.
Am pretty cheesed off today as there have been 3 CF-type incidents which on their own are annoying enough but given they all happened in the space of about an hour, I'm beginning to wonder whether it really is me with the problem instead. Let me know what you think.

  1. Friend who's not been in touch with me for 18 months phones out of the blue. She's the one who ghosted me. I answer as I'm fearing something dreadful has happened. Friend then launches into long-winded legal problem which she wants me to solve. I stopped working as solicitor and retrained about 15 years ago to another profession. I point this out to her and she gets cross with me and hangs up.
  1. DM (likely narcissistic) is either unwilling, unable or indeed both to engage with me about a MH condition which I suspect I have and which I'd have thought that I'd get some sympathy from her about, even if she doesn't understand the whole thing or doesn't know what to do. She's ignoring my presence now and doesn't even acknowledge me when we're in the same room.
  1. DH announces all of a sudden today that he's away with work most of next week when there's an important anniversary for us which means I'm home alone with a baby for several days and nights with no support. Again. He doesn't seem to get why I'm upset about this and is also now giving me the silent treatment.

I'm in the bath with a large gin wondering what I did wrong. Can anyone help me out here?

It’s not you it’s them.
Enjoy your gin, try not to give them headspace.
