AIW for not wanting to be help accountable for being a detriment to someone's mental health

TW: Suicide

Backstory: Several months ago (like back in January), a close friend and I took some time apart, not sure if we'd get back to speaking terms (spoiler alert: we did). However, that close friend isn't the focus.

There was another close friend helping me out throughout this ordeal (F1 for the sake of this story). She made it clear that she was there for me in those times and it was quite helpful to have that support system. She frequently checked up on me and gave me advice to focus on who I have rather than what I lost, which was super beneficial. I'll always be grateful for that.

Later on, about a month later (so, February), that close friend reached out to me and we made up and moved on as friends again. F1 wasn't keen on the idea, telling me to not say yes to that friend's offer. I didn't listen to that advice because I was where I wanted to be. So far, I and that close friend in question haven't had any conflicts and all is well, so as of now, I don't regret that decision and I think that me going back to that close friend annoyed F1.

Just a few hours ago, she contacted me about her being absent for about a month. She said that she isn't interested in being friends, partially because of what happened before with that close friend. She mentioned that I was a detriment to her mental health because of what happened before and the venting. The thing is, I rarely approached her with deep issues and vented to her unless she asked me about it, so in my opinion, she asked for that type of thing. She also never asked me to tone it down or stop. She got nervous about me being suicidal, but I don't recall showing any indication of me wanting to take my life, so when she mentioned it to me, I was confused about why she would hold that against me.

AIW for not wanting what happened in January to be held against me?
