am I being unreasonable

Hi all,

A few weeks ago I noticed the weight of depression coming over very slowly, possibly because I have reduced of my dose of Effexor. The often develop the physical symptoms first (cronic fatigue, painfull joints, muscles, headaches) followed by the mental ones. I have been quite a social hermit and avoided friends recently, one of which I've avioded because I feel she has little tollerance if and when I get depressed.

I have noticed how she treats another one of her friends, whom she has no time for anymore because she has also been suffering with depression, but my friend even makes a bit of a joke of the fact that she doesn't answer her calls and emails because she has not time for her now. I noticed she has stopped contact with me even though she was overly affectionate when I bumped in to her a couple of weeks ago, saying how I should go round to her house in the evenings, however I have lost count of the number of times that she has offered that yet it never actually happened.

We saw each other at the weekend and eventually commented about me, by saing that we all get like that, and was quite dismissive.

She keeps telling me what a good friend she is but I have noticed how she can be very insincere, am I being unreasonable to feel unsupported by her because she dismisses my condition.

At least today I feel a little stronger.
