It could be tone not conveying properly over text, but this strikes me as a pretty hostile response to someone fumbling through a tough situation and I do feel compelled to defend myself a tiny bit here. If I am misreading your tone or intent then I apologize.

The doctor did not speak to me or anything like that. I'm not equipped to offer any more support to Jordan, the sooner they extricate themselves from my life the better, but I don't want anything bad to happen to them nor to anyone else, which I think is a real risk with someone like this. So I left an anonymous message for the doctor about the alcoholism and the fabricated suicide attempts as a "hey man, this person's mental health is getting really bad, you are a professional entrusted with their care so I think you should know it happened" thing.

Someone made a similar phone call for a close friend of mine a few years ago when he was hiding his own drug and alcohol use from his psychiatrist. Ultimately that phone call saved my friend's life.

Regardless this is all stuff I will be discussing with my own therapist, who I am going back to seeing this coming week, and any discussion of my own brain problems - which are greatly improved but obviously not gone - will have to be saved for another thread.


Might check this one again in the future, might not as I am a bit embarrassed reading it all back to myself.
