It just seems that this has caused you so much extra stress and anxiety. I do understand the type of group you are with; but you also are a part of that group as well. It seems unfortunate that it is causing so much extra stress. All the more reason for trying to understand one another because they should also be aware of what this has done to you.

Has any of the "mutual friends" come to you and apoligized and said they were sorry for telling your "friend " what you disclosed to them?

Hope I'm am not upsetting you; just want you to know there is dialogue here.While not part of any group do have, as well as one of my daughters, some emotional/anxiety issues myself.
