Dear fellow member this has to be one of my all time favourites! I wish I had a pound for every time somebody has said that to me.
The worse people for it are very close friends and family,well in my case.
I remember years ago after a failed suicide attempt my mother saying to me why didn't I tell her things were so bad,erm well I've being seeing a psych since I was 13 and telling you I can't cope surely that must of been some indication?
But the worse thing I find is that my mother will do anything to help others,to me my family are my world.
So after all these years I only rely on my husband and my cousin,I also have one best friend who is good to me,and I make sure I constantly sing their praises and thank them for all they do.
I'm also physically disabled so I do require a lot of personal assistance too so I have a support worker who comes in daily to assist me.
Too many people offer to help if you need anything nowadays,but what they don't realise is that we (well I used to) take it literally that they will help,but they don't.
So I would be careful who you trust and who you can rely on no matter what,and if others offer just smile and say thanks,your better off relying on yourself and a select few.
I've had many an argument over this matter.
So keep safe,only trust those who you know won't let you down and don't dwell on it too much,remember those who talk about you must have sad lives if thy have nothing else to talk about
Best wishes
