Wow, mountaindew, I'm sorry you had to hear all of those hurtful things when you were there trying to help.
I know you know they aren't true....and good for you for removing yourself from the situation! |

Oh no, I am so sorry you experienced such negativity and distress from someone you were trying to help.
Kudos to you for attempting to assist, I feel badly things turned out the way they did though.

you know, my DR. told me that I should not let anyone smoke around me because I have severe asthma ... totally understandable right?
well, same can be said about behaviors and people and their toxicity, right? does that mean we turn a blind eye? no it means we call on others to handle the things that we could barely tolerate, let alone fix, or that could set us back or injure us in anyway, or injure others. like, call an ambulance to their address after notifying the police of a suicide threat, or call somebodys' Dr. if you know who it is and they are in trouble with their illness, and how about a family member responsible for a certain individual, or a suicide hotline, or your local hospital or theirs. anyway you look at it, professional help is the answer for most mental illness emergencies - and, or, delusional behaviors. this will probably never change as the rule of thumb. don't subject yourself to a situation that depletes your health reserve or puts you harms way, especially if you are vulnerable to people who have grave problems to begin with. period. peace, nightbrd <font color="#666666"> </font>

((MOUNTAINDEW))). Iknow is must be hard knowing that you had to leave a situation when you are trying to help. The most important thing is that you went and TRIED to help when it became apparent that you could not be of service you left for your own good, and That is all anyone Should do. UNfortunately it is very hard to help someone in this situation, and at times the Only solution is to leave to keep yourself and your own mental health safe. I hope things get better for everyone involved soon. Take care. Soidhonia
