Have they said how long the 15mins obs will continue for, or are they reviewing this on Tuesday?

Hi @gail2 - I have just been reading about the things that happened last night. Looks like you did all the right things and nobody can ask for more than that but it looks like the stress (and lack of proper sleep) has taken its toll. Time to look after yourself, get in a bit of rest and relaxation, and get your elbow sorted out.

Keep us in touch about how things turn out.<3

Hi Gail, I am so sad to hear how much you have been struggling over the last few days. It's good to write stuff down and get it out of your head space. Keep strong but don't be afraid to ask for and accept help. I hope the meeting on Tuesday has a positive outcome. :care:
 
Update on my so called friend who txt me Advice wanted
I have come to the conclusion that I dont need or want someone like that in my life especially at the moment so have written a txt. Have saved and not sent it I always do this with important ones
Dont ever txt me that kind of txt again its not on or fair on me. have blocked/blaclisted your number i dont need this kind of **** im very ill myself bye.
Does this make me sound like a cold hearted uncaring person?

Not at all @gail2. Your priority is to look after yourself as best as you can. Sometimes you will naturally find that tough to do but you must always put yourself first. What your (so called) friend text you is a very difficult text to receive and you handled it so well, but the emotions tied to this are much harder. You're not uncaring - you proved that in your actions by getting the support out to them. What I'm understanding here is that you're very caring, not only to your friend when it mattered the most, but also that you care about your own wellbeing and are protecting yourself by blocking them. :care:
 
thank you for your kindness
 
However, @gail2, you are clearly a caring person and perhaps there is a softer way of sending such a text:

Start with PLEASE (deliberately in caps and bold).
Remove the phrase "have blocked/blacklisted your number".
Change "bye" for "love".

Give your friend a chance to say sorry; and keep a friend you cared enough for, who caused you to be very distressed about their possible demise. Everyone should have second chances.

I wouldn’t send the text with this wording. (Well I probably would in the moment then regret it later).

I’d suggest leaving it some time to cool off, or drafting a text that is more polite about asking the person not to do that again. I imagine the other person isn’t currently in the right place in their mindset for this type of text to be useful right now.

You could probably somehow mute the person in the meantime so that you receive messages from them but aren’t notified of them, so that you can come back to it when you’re both in a better head space.

It was very sensible of you to draft it to get it out of your head and not send it though.
 
Very bad night not going into details dony wanna upset have been given lasr lorazepan tablet hope it im sorry m ok
 
Hi @gail2. No need to be sorry. If talking to us helps you, then keep talking. We are here to listen and help if we can.

Hopefully the tablet will give you a good rest. It is good that you have people around to look out for you.

Let us know how things are in the morning.
 
Stay strong @gail2

We are all rooting for you.

Hope the meds help you have some rest. Look after yourself.
