I (20F) am at a concert with a friend (19F). We both drove here together in her car. I’m feeling honestly quite awful right now. I have strep, going through a break up & some serious family shit, and I’ve found myself getting incredibly irritable as the night progresses. We got here at 7:30 and it’s now 9:15 and the main act hasn’t gone on but I really really want to leave.

I feel incredibly awful about leaving her alone but she is a bit of a character and can be a bit much. Tonight she’s a bit overwhelming to be with on top everything going on

edit to add: “and it’s harder than I thought to thug it out the way I planned”

I was super psyched about this concert but right now I am definitely killing both my own vibe and hers. I worry that staying will harm our friendship and honestly make me feel much worse. I already split the parking with her and she can drive herself home so WIBTA for leaving early to take care of myself?

TLDR: at concert with overwhelming friend. I’m sick with strep and not feeling great and want to leave early

Update: thanks for the advice guys. I usually get extremely anxious letting people down, working through it in therapy lmao. I know it’s best to look out for myself but after the antibiotics and a few meds I was feeling better and then obviously that changed. I really thought getting out there and going to a concert would change my mood and lift me up from all the shitty things going on but alas. We make mistakes and we move on.
