Continuing this thread as I've been left fielded a bit today with regards to this person. Our contact has been reduced and was starting to look relatively healthy... and then she called me today:

I attend an occupational therapy center 3 times a week to build confidence and socially interact with others... this has been a rocky road... but I've stuck with it and have been attending for about 10 months. I have been advised that I am not near discharge point yet so I as far as I am aware, will be going for the foreseeable future.

Her occupational therapist in hospital (she's still an inpatient) has been in contact with this center... and she has an appointment for assessment next week. In my head I just felt the world collapse somewhat... I don't know what to do... I am worried about frequent contact relapsing into the unhealthy state our friendship became.... Worried about saying anything to the people at the center as I don't know what their response will be (they are aware of the back story, but I don't think they know who she is as I never gave or knew her last name).

In addition to this, with my Birthday being a couple of days ago... she asked for my address to send a belated card... I attempted to change the subject but she stated 'you don't want to give me your address do you?'... felt really trapped and didn't want to say no... so kind of left it hanging. Here in lies a problem... a previous patient from my first stay in hospital who I was friends with there... ended up moving onto my road and comes by the house unprompted frequently... my wife isn't particularly happy about this as she's concerned about my well being... when I asked for her advice about the lady on the phone today she categorically said no due to the history to date... even said I could blame her for it in speaking/texting... I said no as I feel that would be cowardly and unfair... gah...

In a bit of a fretful place right now.
