Ignoring others

[StillWaiting]

I have been ignoring a friend. I am feeling bad about it but I don't have the energy to talk to anyone when I am so stressed up with studies and my mental health isn't helping me much.
It is hard to tell others you can't help other problems when you are too caught up with your own.

Perfectly normal. We all have our needs too and in order for us to help others, we have to help ourselves.

It happens. Don't beat yourself up over it.

I don't have the energy to be around people and i'm not mentally well enough to communicate anything decent. People have gotten upset with me about this but I can't help it.

If they are your friend they should understand when you are going through shit and need some time alone <3

I feel very guilty,they are good and loving people who deserve love and respect. But I've ignored most of my friends for a year now,I cut off all the ties ,never reply any message,I even turn off my phone to avoid being called.They'd probably think I'm a jerk.
But I really can't help it. what should I tell them?I have nothing positive to share with them.Tell them I'm depressed and suicidal?It does nothing but make everyone depressed.I wan them to remember me as someone who's smiling in the sun not some suicidal maniac.
That being said,a few of my friends are very persistent,I'm grateful that even I act like a jerk,they still care about me so much
