You aren’t a bad friend for being unwell.
You aren’t a bad friend for needing to
cancel on plans because you don’t feel
up for it. You aren’t a bad friend for not
messaging back right away. You aren’t a
bad friend for needing to prioritise
your well-being. You aren’t a bad friend
for not having the energy to hang out.
You aren’t a bad friend for needing
support or asking for it, or for showing
symptoms. Whether your illness is
mental, physical, or both, it doesn’t
make you a bad friend. Good friends
will understand your predicament and
forgive you.
