Need Advice on how to educate on suicide
Relationship Stress / by Mandi365

...See more I went through a low mental state this summer, really contemplating staying alive or not. My roommate (now ex roommate & ex bestfriend) always preaches about being there for people if they need anything with mental health. I ended up reaching out to her since she was so close to me physically (roommate) & also because she always says she will be there for someone if they need it. Im going to save the details bc they arent the point of this but basically she handled it very badly & it sent me on an even deeper spiral bc i had used the last of my strength to ask her for help. luckily another friend noticed & was able to help me. but not everyone is that lucky. one thing that still really bugs me is the fact that shes still posting about being there for people with mental health. its suicide prevention month & i kinda wanna text her & educate her cuz thats the point of having a month for something. texting her something like: if u wanna be an advocate for mental health, great if youre not in the mental place to be an advocate for mental health, thats perfectly okay whats NOT okay is advertising youre a mental health advocate & then when someone comes to you, you ignore them i dont want her to do it to someone else & i really want to get the message across because she walked away with no remorse & it hurts me to know she could do it to someone else. is this a good idea? is there a better way to word it? i want her to listen so she can be better for someone else.

How to move on from losing your best friend?

...See more My best friend and I lived together in our college apartment. Our senior year was a little rocky with some fights but we somewhat worked it out. This summer I got really depressed and su*c*dal and I told her (ive never told anyone when ive been su*c*dal before) and she basically said it was my fault for getting me into that position and to fuck off. As time went on it was getting bad because she was ignoring me and if you've ever been in that mindset before, that makes it 10x worse. I asked her if she could just acknowledge my presence, like say hi if i walk in or something because it was killing me. She said she will try to "attend to my wishes" but never did. Anyways our lease was up last month and we moved out into different places. Anyways the reason I'm posting it is im still not over how she reacted and some of the mean things she said to me. They echo in my head. I was wondering if I should talk to her to try and get closure or what I need to do because its breaking me down. I know I just need to move on but theres something tying me to this situation and I'm stuck. She was my best friend and I think losing her (even after all the things shes said) hurts so bad.
