I got humbled today and it’s the last time I’ll ever tell anyone about struggling mentally.

So I never shy away from the fact that I have mental health issues, today I was talking to a friend. This friend asked me if I was “ok”. I answered them honestly and said I was struggling mentally to which my friend replied “ that has nothing to do with me”. I said ok and changed the subject. No way in hell will I ever say that to a total stranger let alone a friend because at the end of the day most of us are struggling somehow mentally and giving a listening ear to someone to rant if they are struggling, is the least a human being can do. This friend will never hear from me again after today because if you can’t be there for a friend in times of needs then you are DEFINITELY not a friend. Truth be told, strangers on reddit are more understanding then people in know personally. End of Rant FOR MORE CONTEXT it was the end of work so I texted my friend and asked her is she was busy, she replied back saying she just “ finished work” “ what’s up” . I told her if she wanted to hang out bc “ I genuinely missed you”. She replied and said “ are you ok?” I replied back to her and said “ tbh I’m mentally struggling” and that’s when she replied back saying “ that has nothing to do with me” and I replied back “ok” and that was that. There’s never been a falling out with her, she’s never told me such thing before and she knows that I struggle with mental health so maybe she’s tired of it. Idk

some people seem so selfish nowadays... I probably go too-far the other way in allowing people to lean-on me too much... but at least I can feel good about it sometimes.

There's probably a healthier balance: if a drowning man drags you under, then you can't help anyone... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

I'm sorry you've got these self-absorbed fucks in your life, sometimes we all need someone to lean on.
