This will sound strange, but you should interview even if you don't think you can do the job. If you don't get the job, you'll have had the practice interview for the job you eventually want, and it won't matter whether you're up to the work right now. If you do get an offer, you still have the option to decline. You're in charge. And I think it's important to feel "in charge" of whatever aspects of your life you can, as opposed to feeling constantly buffeted by a parade of insults to your psyche.
In the short run, do what you need to do to "stay safe." If distraction is all you need, great. I'm sorry your friend's "real life" support was lacking, but I think that sort of thing can feel scary to people and they don't always know how to react.
