It’s really hard to endure that. Our means of support at some point don’t want to support us anymore. She had a really violent reaction towards that and what you said should never be taken lightly. However, she must’ve said that because she’s a little tired of hearing the same thing over and over (it’s not your fault). I know that because it happened to me so many times. It’s not that she doesn’t care about you or wants nothing to do with you, it’s just that she’s stressing out about you just as much as you are and since she’s not experiencing it firsthand, it’s easier for her to get frustrated. What I would do is talk about it with her and ask her how she feels about you confiding in her. Work together to set some boundaries when it comes to disclosing issues such as that, so you can both enjoy your friendship, while you can feel good about having her support without running her over. But the good thing is that you came to this support group and shared it here instead of acting on things that you’ll regret. I’m always here if you need me though ?

Ohhh. I must’ve read it wrong. But anyways, tell her how you feel about it. It hurt your feelings and it’s better that she knows. You don’t have to explain yourself but just tell her that you’re not being taken seriously when it comes to talking about this.

I've had a similar experience with my twin sister actually. For some reason she doesn't have OCD or anxiety, but when I hard to ask for help and she would say no I would get mad and yell and swear at her. She told me about me being selfish and not thinking about her, but all I wanted was support and help. She has gotten better, but it is hard when the people we thought that we could trust and who should support us let us down.

I’m at the lowest I’ve been I’m in just declining. First time in my life where the thought of ending it popped into my mind. I’m not going to but that’s just how bad it’s gotten. Should I tell someone I know and trust about my mental health battle

My ex pressured me into telling my therapist or someone else in my life about my suicidal thoughts when I wasn’t ready. I had already been considering it and had told her that, but she kept pushing and made it feel like I had to do it. She even said things like “That’s not how it works, you need to bring it up to them” when I told her I wasn’t comfortable doing it first. Then, she gave me an ultimatum either I tell my therapist, or she would tell my mum or someone in my life like a friend . That forced me into a corner where I had no choice but to bring it up before I was ready. Later, I found out that she had been saving our chats, seemingly as “evidence” to protect herself, which made me feel like she cared more about covering herself than about actually supporting me. Instead of trusting me to handle my own mental health on my own terms, she took control of the situation and disregarded my autonomy completely. It felt like she prioritized her comfort over my right to make my own decisions. and she made it all about herself and her guilt and didn’t even ask any questions, i was furious and now don’t think i can ever trust her again. the way she handled it seemed almost clinical and it was cold. it’s like she completely disregarded how i wanted to handle things for her own comfort, it was like self preservation disguised as support. i was forced into it under the threat she would take matters into her own hands, i felt i had no control and when i noticed she was saving my messages in chats i asked why incase something happens? and she said yes, i felt like i was being treated as a liability like a problem to managed, like a burden, and she phoned me after my therapy session making it all about her and her guilt and if i don’t tell anyone by next week she will tell my mum or someone in my life cuz she wouldn’t want to be the only one who knew before we went no contact, i was furious. At the time, I didn’t fully process how messed up this was. But looking back, it feels like she prioritized her own comfort and her own need to feel in control over my right to make my own decisions about my mental health. Ifeel like im overreacting but i can’t stop wondering was this even okay or was it manipulative and controlling Now I’m wondering was this okay for her to do, or was it overstepping?
