When friends experience different timelines recovering from hormonal changes

My best friend and I both went off birth control at the same time thinking we'd support each other through the hormone changes, but she bounced back in a few months while I'm still dealing with terrible mood swings and acne a year later, and now there's this weird distance between us where she feels guilty for feeling better and I feel ashamed for still struggling.
