Re: How to be a good friend while dealing with a mental illness

Holy cow, sorry you had to deal with that. You really should have asked her to seek a counselor or therapist because that was not okay. :(

I'm always afraid that I put a lot of stress on my friends with all my issues when I'm going through a rough time. I know it puts stress on them.

I did, several times. She refused, usually with some excuse that she couldn't afford it (probably true) or that shrinks in her area all sucked and couldn't help her (probably untrue, she just doesn't want to be helped I think.)

I suggested to her one night that she actually ENJOYS being upset because she's never truly happy, hasn't been since the day I met her. She got mad at me, was like "you think I like being upset all the time?"

Well, considering that you have a fucking breakdown if the weather doesn't go your way, yeah...

Hey, you know that it puts stress on your friends, which means that even if you aren't always able to act in a way that's considerate of them, you are thinking of them and their feelings. If your friends are any kind of friend worth speaking of, they'll understand that and appreciate it and won't hold it against you when things get rough.

It sounds like the person dethtoll's talking about didn't have any consideration for anyone outside of herself, and didn't even think about the fact that she might be hurting other people with her shit. Even the fact that you're worried about stressing your friends out means you are not anywhere near her league.
