Input: So I’m going to keep this one short and sweet, because right now it’s really late, I need to be up for work in the morning, and my brain is currently fried due to the days events. I’m also going to skimp on a few specific details because of the filters for certain topics within the subreddit. Hopefully my ramblings will leave enough to piece together.


Recently about mid last week, a friend of mine who I’ve gotten to know really well over the last little while was in a really bad place and took some medication of which I’m unsure the exact nature of. She woke up some time later, threw up the most of the contents of her stomach, got something to eat, drink, and told me all about it. After the initial, obvious freak out, and some talking about it, and trying to convince her she SHOULDN’T be going on a raging drinking frenzy when the weekend arrived (all attempts at which she completely blew off), I had gone to bed for the night.

Waking up the next morning, I decided to check in on her, only to find out that almost immediately after I had left (approximately 6 hours after waking up from the attempt) she was getting drunk and playing video games like nothing had even happened. When I tried to bring this up, she brushed me off again, and went about ignoring me as she went back to her game. This put me in a slump. Due to distance the only thing I can do to try and help her was talk to her, but she wouldn’t listen. 

Over the course of the week she would try to contact me several times, but with my slump, I was reluctant to say much more than I absolutely had to. Picking up on this, she took her opportunity to slip out of the conversations. This of course made me feel even worse.  Fast forward to today, and after a few less than pleasant things uttered back and forth, I exploded. I’ve just spent the last hour and a half yelling at her, telling her she can’t expect her friends to just not care  if she happened to *’disappear’* the next day, while she seems to care genuinely for her own friends. A lot of stuff got said which I’ll leave out for brevity. 

This whole thing came to a head when I cursed her out for not taking proper care of herself, without thinking how it affects us. This actually made her speechless. But what got her was reminding her that she “never wanted to hurt anybody”, but went ahead with the intent of taking her own life, not grasping the fact that when she was gone, we would all miss her, wether she wanted us to or not.

This caused her to break down, she just began to cry and apologize until myself and another friend managed to calm her down. For the most part, despite feeling genuinely horrible about what I did, I feel like it was the right thing to do. 
In the end, I think I finally got to her, and managed to hopefully have a lasting effect, if not a permanent one on how she values her own life. 

So help me out here, guys and girls, because I really want to know what you think. Am I the asshole?
