basically my friend was going through a horrible time because she just feels terrible once a month and it’s kind of like a stage.
so one day her and i stop talking, and out of nowhere i receive a photo of a knife and i asked her if she’s okay. she said “yeah im okay” and i told her that im here if she needs me. she said “i literally just said im fine” so i said “okay sorry i was just making sure”. the reason i didn’t push it on her was because i used to do it in the past and she would get mad at me for it, so i just decided that i should leave her be because she might not be in the mood to talk. about a week later i see that i’ve been unadded so i text her saying “i completely understand why you unadded me” and then she says “it just felt like i got thrown to the side so quickly” i was confused because i didn’t intentionally throw her to the side i just wanted to leave her be. of course, i felt guilty because i should’ve texted to see how she’s doing.
we’re still friends to this day but i just wanted to see what others may think about this.
i’m open to tell more if necessary.
She sounds exhausting.
you need to go to school on monday and show the nurse these photos and texts. homegirl is suicidal, and adults need to get involved.
i’ll take your advice
NTA. I have a friend who regularly has difficult times and although she hasn’t sent me anything as bad as random pictures of knives, she will regularly send me random texts without any context that are clearly a cry for help/attention and if I respond to it, she’ll brush it off. I think you responded appropriately and your friend is upset because you didn’t feed in to the drama. You say you’re still friends, so I’d let this incident go.
thank you for the response, i was just curious to see.
You can’t be responsible for someone else’s feelings and thoughts. She needs professional help the best you can do is speak to her family and if you will offer support. But keep in mind that is some heavy shit you don’t have to deal with if you don’t want to.
Best of luck 🍀
thanks so much for that
NTA best of luck 🍀
she sounds like a lot of drama. You checked on her. she snapped at you…. what does she expect you to do? that type of “communication” is extremely immature and is exhausting.
Yta I think she is going through very difficult times mentally and needs more attention, support from you, I know it can be hard but she needs your care
She’s just manipulative. If she unads just let her and go live your life.
If your friend is cutting themselves or potentially doing that, as a friend you should either tell a trusted adult if you’re a kid or tell someone trusted in their family to help them get help. This isn’t something you can just hope gets better as the alternative is horrific.
thanks, i’ll do that
