I go to a girls school, and some year or so ago it was much worse. I had a very, very close friend, my only one, who turned against me. She began telling me no one liked me, no one wanted to be friends with me. She'd keep telling me that people asked her if they were really friends with me.. it made me really sad. It really put me down - I was already having a mental health problem - and made everything so much worse. At the end of the christmas holiday I cried for a really long time, I knew that when school started I had no friends, and that everyone would be talking about me.
I began sitting in the toilets, I didn't talk to anybody because I thought they hated me. People in class wouldn't talk to me either.
The worst part is that this girl would try be friends with me again (the one who was very close) by guilt tripping me. When I began to tell her the truth she'd say I was a horrible, bad person and bring up that no one liked me. She'd guilt trip me every single time. I would say it's emotional abuse - she greatly affected everything she did to me for last year.
I stood up to her a week ago or so - for the last month, I've slowly been getting better. I've got true friends, which are hard to find, but I am so greatful. I've been more confident and decided I couldn't do it anymore, and told her to fck off and told her the truth. I have a different account on ig, a sort of truthful one, where I posted about her. I talked about how I would often get suicidal about it, and in some instances hurt myself. But that was very rare. You know what she replied? "IT WAS JUST BEEF GODDAMMIT." I feel sorry for her, but she's a btch and people need to stand up to her. I'm happy to have stood up against her, so she won't do this to others in the future. But she's still going on like this with one of my true friends.
