okay my best friend CR and i have been best friends since like 2nd grade and i tell her everything. Then in 8th grade i started taking seizure and i had good days and bad days and on a day bad i said alot of depressed stuff and she took it seriously and told my teacher and the whole school thouoght i was a wake job and i have to c a shrink now or i wont be let back in school. well ever since she told i didnt talk to her until like 2 weeks ago i said id try to look past it bc we have been friends forever. but how do i trust her again after what she did?
When you told her in confidence, you also placed a burden on her to do something to help you being your best friend-- she couldn't just stand by and know and do nothing at all.
Forgive her for breaking confidentiality then realize she did it in your best interest even if you feel it was wrong. It's hard to know what is right to do and what is wrong to do at your ages.
At least she loves you enough to have taken a chance to help you regardless.
You have a good friend for life sweetie. Realize that.
See the shrink and be honest with him/her and get a diagnosis and be glad it was a step you got to take. It is probably for the best in the long run. [ AskJR's advice column | Ask AskJR A Question ]

She did it with the intent & focus of helping you & getting you help. You honestly should be thanking her. She's saving your life & instead of appreciating the fact that she cares, you get mad.

You should recognize this and forgive her for the bad stuff that's come out of it. Know that her intentions were good. Hopefully, the shrink has even helped you a little to get through your feelings about your seizures and to help with the bad days. If not, don't hold it against your friend. She was trying to keep you safe.
