I have a situation for you..... I've got this friend who doesn't know what to do about a situation she has found herself in.... Put yourself in her spot....
Someone you know has just tried to commit suicide.
They tried to cut their wrists with a steak knife.
(They were not successful..... And honestly it was more like " let me hold this knife to my wrist, cry and sob, threaten to do it, but never pressed down" type of thing.)
The reason for wanting to die?
You.
They blamed it on you.
They threaten to kill themselves because "they can't take the way you treat them anymore".
They told lots of people that you are the reason they want to die.
Everyone now looks at you in disgust and hate. They think you are a bad person, have said bad things about you and to you, and have totally turned on you.
You are confused, hurt, angry, shocked, insulted, worried, bitter, and sad.
You are responsible for someones suicide attempt. You COULD HAVE been the cause of someones death.
You asked this person countless time to explain their reasons. You have asked them to please explain to you how you are the reason for this? What have you done (specifically) to them that has hurt them this much?
They have nothing to say.
Now.....after all the drama of trying to kill themselves, blaming it on you, spreading rumors and lies, portraying you in a terrible, shameful light...... They are acting as if nothing ever happened and are wondering why you are not answering their calls.
What would you do?
Seriously. I want to know. Inbox me, comment, Fb me, whatever.
My friend is beside herself and would appreciate any advise on the situation.
