Am i a jerk for breaking contact with unsupportive friend?

This clearly requires context. Laid off from my job a few months ago and it's really been interesting to see how my friend dynamics have changed bc of it. One friend has made it all about her, when I'm the one who has taken the hit. For instance, I said I'm doing fine and she said "no, i'm not okay with it" and on a separate occasion she flat out said to my face "i'm scared of unemployment" and "where do you have to be, you're unemployed?" When she's not being so direct, she will send me TikTok vids of people who have quit their corporate jobs to work minimum wage jobs and she will say "haha that's you" - for context, I got a PT job as a baker in the time to stay busy/make some extra cash.

Maybe I am just really sensitive right now, what with my poor mental health and burnout from previous job), but I got really fed up with her and one day I stopped replying to her messages. Am I a jerk?
