She told you bc she trusts you and wants your support

As someone who’s been the confession friend before I understand how intense this can be to unexpectedly be the support system for someone in crisis, so I personally wouldn’t judge op too hard but it’s not always easy to just drop everything and support someone even if they are a close friend. Clearly op was not the best choice but I’m sure venting here is something they also need rn because topics like that can be heavy

I’m gonna be honest, because everything you’ve said after I posted this makes you sound like an evil bitch. At first I got it but now you keep doubling down and acting like you don’t know how to support her at all. The wording of your post makes you sound cold and callous and it does feel like you ran to the internet to shame her rather than find support for yourself. Your defense of this isn’t helping. I understand wanting to vent but being harsh isn’t venting. Hope that helps :)

That’s just objectively untrue. Saying things like idk why you’d tell me that is very similar to saying she should be ashamed of it and your post suggests she should ‘wait’ until more time has passed so you can have an easier time processing it. It is very you centered in a moment where you’re being asked to think about someone else and it’s clear you’re struggling with that.

You continue to be very you focused so I’m not sure there’s any way to explain to you why you’re coming off bitchy, because you won’t hear it. I’ve lost friends. I have many friends with a history of many different types of mental illness. I understand you’re not prepared to help with this. But your post is shaming them for reaching out to you because you feel like they’re breaking a boundary you’ve set. Mental health is scary and sometimes people don’t react the way you would like. Grow up

NOBODY expects you to solve all their issues. But kindness will always help

You keep saying you weren’t unkind to her while being actively unkind to her behind her back is not better. Boundaries arent healthy if there is full rigidity. It’s not manipulative to need help, and it’s so obvious when you turn around and use your own suicide to ‘get back’ at her or us for thinking you’re selfish that you’re clearly the problem here. But okay, don’t go back and forth with me, because I don’t need to spend my night explaining to you how to be a better person?
