Just yesterday, my friend and I were having an argument (over Instagram message) and it was really heated. I was upset about being the butt of a joke and expressed that I didn’t like it, she than said that I was overreacting. 

She than started to have a go at me about many things from the past such as how I asked her to pay me back like she promised too even though I knew she was saving to go on a trip overseas, how I had spoken to her old friends even though she asked me not too (I still feel bad about this one) and how I had ‘ditched her’ at the park to get to my train or else I would have missed it. 

I started to become really overwhelmed and said I didn’t want to talk about this until tomorrow face to face so we could figure it out properly.

She said that if I stopped texting it would be unfair as she would be left worried and that would cause her anxiety, I once again said that it was making my anxiety really bad and that I needed to step back too. I explained that arguing was getting us no where and it was the best thing for both of us to stop. I also told her not to be worried as we would sort it out and that it wasn’t the end of the world, we could figure it out tomorrow.

After I sent that, I didn’t open Instagram until this morning. When I opened my phone, I got messages saying I was a terrible friend leaving her alone and that her grandmother was sick and I hurt ignored her.

I can’t help but feel like an asshole, I know she has anxiety just like me and I feel like it was selfish to just place my self and my mental health above hers.

AITA?
