Agree with all the others - the folks you helped are not good friends...

or they would care about your health and happiness. The good news is the older you get the easier it is, and the more understanding people become. It's hardest as a child and teenager, a bit better in college and your twenties, and usually pretty good once you're in your late twenties and beyond.
Unfortunately, I don't know a way around it. You just have to do what you did - speak up for yourself, take care of yourself, and if that still doesn't work let your "friends" know you're no longer available to help them, or socialize, or really include them in your life as it is endangering your health and welfare.
True friends will do whatever it takes to help you, not compromise your best efforts.
Best,
Heather
