I really want to talk about my OCD with my boyfriend, I've talked about anxiety and self harm intrusive thoughts before with him and he was really helpful, but I really want to talk to him more about it. However, he used to have depression and I'm worried if I talk alot about my mental health it will trigger his mental health. Also I know how emotionally draining it is to help someone with a mental illness and I don't want to put that feeling of responsibility on him. Should I talk with him about it or not?

I 1000% relate to you, I'm trying to break off a friendship currently and everytime me and my friends try to move away she threatens to kill herself and it's been really emotionally draining on me and my friends, just wondering how you managed to break it off with her?

@mjs She did the exact same thing. She invited me to her party once and I said I couldn’t go and she spammed me with messages saying she was gonna kill her self if I didn’t go. One night I was just completely done with her shit and blocked her on everything. I stopped talking to her in school. She went to my other friends and trying to talk to them but luckily they ignored her. She did some shit to get my attention but then eventually stopped and we drifted apart and now I haven’t talked to her for a year. It’s different with everyone but that’s what it was like for me.

@mjs If you know a person that has mental issues can't you try to find them help.. Maybe suggest a therapist for them or tell their family about it instead of just ditching them? I mean it could be a cry for help.. And don't we all just need somebody to help us?

@pingu111 We have, we told her mum and told her to go to a therapist, and then she told us that when she told the therapist she had serious thoughts about suicide her therapist said that 'there was nothing wrong with her and she was completely fine' which is such bullshit...

@mjs What a shitty therapist.. Well at least you did the right thing and het mum knows..

@pingu111 The thing is, idk if it was the therapist who said that I think my friend was just lying

@mjs That's a whole knew story.. But you did what you could do and did the right thing ☺️

@pingu111 Thank you for the support!! ❤️

@pingu111 We told a school counselor she was self harming and she went to therapy idk what happened to her after that but I’ve heard she’s doing really well
