Friend badgering for money after I've just almost died. CF or am I being emotional?

[Februaryblooms]

I probably sound dramatic, I'm quite upset.

I came out of hospital yesterday after falling ill after childbirth. For context i contracted maternal sepsis from group A strep infection, i had a 1500 postpartum haemorrhage and was in for 9 days in total having transfusions, fluids and IV antibiotics. Newborn DD went through invasive testing and precautionary treatment before finally being given the all clear. For a time, DP thought he was going to lose us both.

It was extremely frightening, however me and DD are lucky to be home as of yesterday and im thankfully the slow road to recovery. I'm still very weak, anemic and quite traumatised as can be expected.

A friend who has been kept in the loop and knew how much I'm struggling has messaged me tonight asking me to lend them money. AIBU to be outraged that they'd even consider it given what I'm going through at the moment. They know about it all, including how traumatised/anxious i am now. I confided in then as much.

Am I being overly sensitive or is this absolutely shit behaviour?

OP take the opportunity to focus on genuine friends, join in parent and child groups and meet new people. In the future you will have stories of "oh yes that user who treated me as an overdraft whenever it suited her".

I walked away from a "friend" 10 years ago and another 2 years ago, both were selfish users. My other friends aren't - I am 100% happy they aren't in my life.

"No" can be a sentence and a boundary.

She's not your friend. She's a self centred leach. I wouldn't bother with her any more, and I'd certainly ever lend her any more money!
