I have a question for everyone following this thread: do you think that they are telling one the go to ER or call the suicide hotline because they don’t want to deal with her/his problems?
I am posing this question based on my personal experience. Former friends who knew about my MI openly told me “I do not have the time and energy to deal with your problems. I have my own. Call the suicide hotline or go to ER. Good luck”.
I never heard from them again. So, if it were coming from a caring and a compassionate place, wouldn’t they have taken the initiative to follow up with me?
I cannot help but think that some of them clearly did not care and some wanted me to be in worse position.
