Friend gets mad at me when I have problems?
A while back my mom had pissed me off about something stupid, and of course I naturally went to my friend for help so I could cool off. After explaining to her my problems, she started acting like a total ***** and kept telling me I had no right to be upset and that she couldn't help me. Now before you go thinking I just happen to expect everyone to help me out and bow down to my issues, I don't ever think or feel that way. She told me, ' I can't help you, for ****'s sake see a therapist or something.'. I don't know why, it just really hurt me and I couldn't help telling her off about it. I constantly have trouble helping her with her problems, like when she's suicidal because her parents yell at her, but I still be a ******* logical person and help her out. I don't understand why she had to go and say that. Then she said I know nothing of a hard life, yet I do. I've been through twice the amount of stuff she's been through. Should I just stop telling her about my issues?
She is depressed because her parents yell at her, that's it. I'm a happy camper, yet my parents have gotten divorced, I was hospitalized for eating problems, and my mom had a horrible boyfriend around the house. That's why I get pissed when she says her life is awful.

Your friends probably going through something particularly awful and she took her anger out on you. Tell her how you are deeply hurt by what she said and tell her how it makes you feel but CALMLY. Don't yell at each other. Oh and try and get her some help, if she's suicidal and she doesn't have professional help, something awful could happen. And honestly if you've got two times more problems then her, then you need to seek help too. Don't give in to the stigma of it, no one is weak for seeking help. Right now, try to stick by each other. I know friends can be a pain in the ***, espically when they seem to pour out their heart to you but won't give two shits about your problems (trust me, been there done that) but right now try and be the bestest friend possible. My mother has always told me that you should always help the other person, even if they don't try and help you. If she's not going to listen to your issues, she doesn't deserve too. Find someone who will but don't block her out. And don't tell her your problems are worse than hers, everyone's issues and pain is not relative to anothers and you can't really measure it. But yeah, good luck. You are a wonderful friend.
