Is it normal for friends to get mad and ignore you for being depressed

I mean I'd understand if it was just an acquaintance, and I understand that people don't want to be bothered by others' problems. But this friend had problems too and I always tried to help them feel better, now when it's the other way around they just act rude to me, joke about it and avoid me. Worst is they caused most of it but still try to be my friend and say they care about me. It just sounds like bullshit, right? then they have the nerve to get mad at me for feeling they're being insincere. Is this pretty normal or does that mean they're not really a friend?

    perfect example of a “fair weather” friend. They’re only around when times are good.

      Yep! Figured as much too. Sucks I let myself get so close to them. What a waste of time that was.

      What's weird is this person constantly claims to "love" me as well. And I'm like, nah you really don't, then they get upset and go mope about how I don't believe them. wtf??

      I'm starting to wonder if this person is either some kind of psycho/sociopath, or just retarded (but I guess I'm no better for falling for that crap).

        Friends wouldn't treat you like that and I'm sorry this is happening to you. If you're depressed you need to distance yourself from negative destructive people, they'll only make it worse.

        Some ppl are selfish and some fear problems like the plague. Either way it’s them, not you.

    Over the years with my different bouts of depression, I know that many of the few friends I had just didn't understand. They would try and encourage me to get up and get out and try to socialize. I understood where they were coming from, they were just trying to help and after awhile they got tired of trying to help when I was being so negative about life in general. I just wanted to be left alone, and they were trying to help. I was being a stubborn jackass. I did find that if I could get out of bed, shave and shower then that would help ALOT. Then it was a lot easier to face the world. Good luck if your dealing with it. Don't be afraid to talk to a Dr. about it if you can.
