Input: Some context, I’m an 18 year old high school student and the friend in this post is a 17 year old student. 

My friend, we’ll call her Thanos, has had a really fucked up life. She dated this guy last year who was abusive, manipulative, and just overall the worst person. Because of him, she got many complications concerning her mental health. Thanos’ depression got worse because of him, she has trust issues, she can’t keep relationships, and on top of that, she has PTSD because of it. It’s really saddening and gets me so angry because that bastard put her through all that. 

A few days ago we went to the mall to hang out and she said she hadn’t been to that specific mall since she went on a date with her ex. No problem, it’ll get tough for her but I’ll get her through anything if she feels uncomfortable. 

Around the time we start to leave to catch the bus to leave the mall, she tells me she might have a panic attack because she’s remembering the memories with her ex at various places in the mall. I tell her what I’d like to hear myself if I was in that situation. I tell her “breathe Thanos, it’s all in the past. He can’t hurt you anymore.” or something along those lines, I can’t remember completely. 

She gets really mad and upset and stops talking to me and she leaves because her mom came to pick her up. She texted me today how I never support her or help her get through her PTSD, and what I do tell her is the exact opposite of what you’re supposed to tell someone going through it. She then goes on saying how her feelings don’t matter anyway and how whenever I’m dealing with stuff she helps me, but I don’t help her (which is extremely false, I drop whatever I’m doing whenever she needs comfort or anything). 

I’m just a high school senior, not a therapist. I’ve never dealt with any PTSD or helped anyone who has had it. I don’t know what to say to help someone calm down from it. 

Am I the asshole for telling Thanos the wrong things and, allegedly, making the situation worse?
