Before I went on Christmas break, me and my roommate were really good friends; we would hang out a lot and go to dinner with our other friends, but lately she’s been really mean and practically bullying me. Two weeks after we came back from break, I promised her I would go to the basketball game with her but I cancelled because my friend was having issues and wanted to talk about it. I apologized that night and asked her if she was okay when she came back from the game, she said everything was fine. I left it alone. The next day, she started ignoring me and I asked her why she was ignoring me, she told me that when she’s around a person for so long she flips out on them and that she has a condition called GAD that makes her flip out. I didn’t believe her but I didn’t tell her that, I said okay and left it alone. The next day she continued to ignore me and I didn’t press the issue but she took another one of our friends to the basketball game that we were going to go too with our face painted. It hurt when she didn’t tell me but I got over it and figured she needed her space so I didn’t bother her after that. Then she started telling everyone that I was the cause of us not being friends and even blamed me for her own problems and started talking bad about me and my professional relationships with my professors and how they understand my fears and phobias of public speaking. I tried to talk to her about it but she told me no and slammed the door which hurt me even more and made me cry. Since than I haven’t said anything to her, but there’s a lot of lying involved now and I don’t know why I feel guilty about this situation when a lot of people said it wasn’t my fault but I can’t help but feel like it is. Can anyone try to help me solve this? I’ve tried to talk to her about it but it doesn’t work and I’m going into a depression because of the bullying. Please help?
