NC changed for this.

Am I being to harsh?
I suffer with multiple chronic illnesses which is hard enough on top of having a young family, come evening time all I want to do is crash out,
I have a friend who I get along with, she's nice enough however as time goes on I've noticed her complaining about the same few things every day. I'm finding it draining having to think of what to reply to same few issues when I've already given decent advice and it's been ingored.
So a few days ago she messaged me asking to met up socially distanced of course, I said I wasn't feeling well but I'd catch up with her when I felt better and wished her well. Total end of the conversation. For her to Inisit again that she doesn't mind and wants to still see me poorly or not Confused and then started complaining about the same issues again, so I ingored her messages.
I feel guilty the people pleaser in me wants to apologise was I a bitch? I'm not sure how to approach her now I've ingored her and feel quite guilty but I just can't cope with the petty moaning when I feel so terrible.

(We don't live in the U.K. for anyone moaning about meeting up.)

Could you not say “ just to let you know I’m not ignoring you, I’ve been really unwell and I still can’t walk the length of me , I don’t have the energy to come meet up yet. As for your issues, have you tried any of the advice I gave last week? I mean if you have then I’m sorry I can’t think of any more advice. Happy to lend a supportive ear when I’m better though. “

Your advice may just be terrible and that's why she hasn't followed it.

Just say "sorry as I said I'm not feeling great. Speak to you soon though x"
