A few years ago a close friend tried to end her life by overdosing on her medication.She survived.I was there for her during this time and I was kind,comforting and a listening ear in the weeks following her release from the hospital.

Someone else,a few months ago, accidentally overdosed on their medication because they were abusing them.They survived also.But I am finding it hard to be there for them.I feel anger instead of compassion.I am angry because they became addicted to the medication and took so many that they ended up in the hospital.

I don't really want to be judged on how I feel.I don't want to feel this way, but I do.I'm looking for thoughts and opinions on this so that I can be there for this person.

Both were overdoses.Both ended up in the hospital.So I'm not really sure why I feel so different about them and would appreciate your insight.
