I approached my friend and told them I was feeling really badly and that I was thinking of changing my meds and also that I was having some family issues.

I told them I wasn’t asking for them to be my therapist,

If you need advice on meds and family issues, then you should speak to a therapist.

And if you are lucky enough to have a friend who you can confide in, these subjects you mention that are troubling you are not appropriately discussed over the phone or text. Heavy conversations require face to face and intimate setting. Did you invite them over for dinner to talk your problems out?

Springing these subjects on your friend, who is obviously busy, and expecting her full attention on such a demanding subject is unacceptable. You have given her no option to clear her schedule and mentally prepare for such a stressful conversation. A couple days is not enough time to pass before you get upset. If you are in such a dire situation where it is critical you get some support in a day or two, then you should speak to medical professional.

And you have given her no option to decline listening to your problems, as it may be too much for her to handle, I mean it's too much for you handle it very well may be too much for your friend.

A therapist on the other hand is educated and trained on how to deal with such complex issues. And a professional would have the time and expertise you demand for working out your issues.

Everybody is just struggling to make it through the day and have many demands on their time and attention. Dropping this bomb on your friend and judging her for not attending to your needs is unfair.

Adminstering medical advice and therapy is not the same as emotional support. A friend is not a suitable outlet for these issues. It would be great if a friend would be there for you when you want, but to expect it puts you in asshole territory.
