Loads. Everyone on my soccer team, my job (which I stopped about 8 months ago due to fibro). There is so many things I can't do so some stopped inviting me. It saddens me a lot but you gotta keep the positive and helpful friends close and the negative ones you gotta flush them. So I guess it was bound to happen anyway and it might as well be a good thing to only have the ones who really care close otherwise it's very exhausting having to explain yourself all the time...

Oh darn. I just typed a couple of paragraphs that disappeared. Now, I will only type a short answer. YES I have lost people that I thought were my friends but who were obviously NOT. I am bitter and I have some hatred or maybe quite a bit of hatred in my heart now.

Ignore it. She's not worth the stress it will cause you to try to explain anything to her. 😔
