[quote=Anonymous]First of all, you're not being a bad friend.

A lot of how I personally would proceed depends on what this friend is like outside of this issue.  Frankly, and this kind of sounds mean, some people just don't have coping skills and can't get over things.  What she experienced was frightening and awful, I really wouldn't wish it on anyone.  But as you've pointed out, you went through worse and anyway, a person has to learn how to cope and do therapy or whatever it takes.  It can take time, however some people never manage to snap out of it, whatever the trauma or upset was.  If this is the case, you especially need to distance yourself.  There are just some people who really get stuck on things and become like vampires to the people around them, sucking their energy, not giving back, etc.  Only you know this friend and what she's like overall.  Again, I don't want to minimize what happened to her or give her a specific timeline of when a person "should" be able to handle what happened.
