Need Advice on how to educate on suicide
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.
