Cutting people off

Hi girls, im in a really crap situation and wondering if anyone else has been in the same position. Basically I am 10 weeks pregnant. 4 years ago I have a missed miscarriage and this is my first pregnancy since. My best friend suffers with mental health problems and last night she took an overdose. I cannot deal with the stress of it all and I cannot risk it for my baby. Has anybody else had to cut ties because all they do it cause stress in their life?

Yes, for your sake and your baby's you have to cut them out. I cut so many people out of my life but I wasn't gonna risk anything

@Elizabeth Aneiros yes exactly this. I feel so selfish for doing it as we have been best friends for nearly 20 years . However, she is nothing but negative and isn’t interested in my pregnancy what so ever . So I guess it’s time to get the scissors out and start cutting ties x

I wouldn't say you need to cut her off completely, but maybe take a step back? For you to be friends with her after 20 years there must be a decent connection there surely!

@Rebecca I agree take step back, tell her to get help, leave that at that. Concentrate on you and baby for now, maybe later down the line she will come out the other side and get back on her train and you'll get on again

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I agree with the sentiment that you absolutely need to take a step back. Since you were the one that suggested a full cut off, maybe that is what you need, at least until after the fourth trimester, when you could tell her you'll check back in with her then, and give the reason that it's for your new number one priority -- your baby's health.
