Venting Friends turning on suicidal people

[just_a_girl]

Why does attempting do this? I understand someone's loved ones being angry or feeling betrayed (even if that's bs I can see why they get there) but it's just an extra dagger imo. They desperately don't want you to do it but when you attempt and fail they hate you more. A friend hid that from me for a week post and now is actively trying to hurt me beyond repair and I can't see her doing it for any other reason than I attempted and she couldn't accept I'd want to

Human psychology and behavioral patterns are whack. A lot of people take something like a friend attempting suicide as a personal attack when it isn't. And often when we feel attacked we either freeze, run, or "hit back".

Sounds like your friend is choosing the hit back option. She felt hurt and her brain wants you to feel that same amount of hurt in return.

I've been in a similar position as your friend though not over suicide. And I didn't actually hit back so to speak but I wanted to. Pain can make people crazy I can promise you that. I mean, if it didn't none of us would be here.

I'm really sorry you're getting the sharp end of her anger and hurt. It doesn't help at all.

I think people just hate the mentally ill, I'm so sorry. Right now, your friends and loved ones should all be rallying around you and trying to support you. I seriously hope you have a good support system other than this asshole trying to fuck with your life after attempting. My last friend abandoned me the day after my last attempt while I was still in the hospital, so believe me I understand and am so sorry. It genuinely pains me to hear about someone else going through anything similar.
