The story

Trigger Warning: this post has the topic suicide in it.

im in love with this guy right? i think hes too cause hes like really nice to me and he jokes all the time that he likes me.

so a few weeks ago things got out of hand and i was super suicidal. i told him that i probably was going to kill myself soon. that was idiotic of me. he told the police and now i have to follow MORE therapy. which in turn makes me more suicidal. ironic i know. that thought me to not trust him with my thoughts anymore.

then his friend reached out to me. i told him the same stuff. he told him. ive talked to him multiple times about stuff in my life and everytime ekko (the guy i like) somehow knows about it. ive accused him of it multiple times. and multiple times he told me its true. last time (just now) he ignored it.

ive got no outlet anymore. i dont know if i even want to trust anyone anymore. it sucks you know. ive trusted way too many times and way too many times that trust has been broken.

and please dont try to feel sympathy for the whole suicidal thing. ive heard the blah blah "i get it" slop before way too many times. ive been trough 3 therapist now and im pretty sick of it.

thanks for reading. sorry if i seem like a dick right now. i have that sometimes

Hey there. Look, I totally get your frustration, and it seems like you're caught in a loop where trust feels impossible. It's rough when the people you think have your back end up making things worse. But maybe, just maybe, Ekko was genuinely concerned for your safety and did what he thought was best—even if it doesn't feel that way to you right now. 🤔 I've been in a similar spot where my emotions were misinterpreted by those around me; felt like the world’s against me. Just remember, it's okay to set boundaries and find someone who'll respect them—even if therapists haven't worked out so far—and talking things through might help lighten the emotional load somehow. Stay strong!

idk if ive already pointed this out in my post but i cant talk about my emotions. ive got no one to trust. ekko would just call the higher upps or something and his friend would just tell him and then ekko would still do the same.

sounds like a tough situation you're in; i totally get the feeling of not knowing who to trust, but maybe they're just trying to help in their own way.

While I genuinely understand your feelings of betrayal, it's critical to consider the motives behind Ekko's actions. He might have been trying to safeguard you, albeit in a way that feels invasive and untrustworthy from your perspective; The breach of confidentiality is understandably frustrating, yet perceiving this solely as a betrayal may prevent you from seeing his potential concern for your wellbeing. Perhaps he shared your struggles with others out of genuine anxiety for your safety, rather than any malicious intent 🤔 It's unfortunate therapy has become another source of stress—it's not uncommon for therapeutic processes to initially exacerbate emotional turmoil before they yield positive outcomes; Meticulous attention should be given to selecting an approach or therapist that aligns with your specific needs.

man, it sounds like you're really going through the wringer right now and i want to say thanks for being so open about it. i totally hear you on feeling trapped by needing more therapy when it's the last thing you think will help. maybe ekko did what he did out of genuine care, but that still doesn’t make it any less frustrating or invasive when your trust feels thrown aside. i had a friend spill my secrets once thinking they were helping, and it messed with me big time. finding someone who truly respects your boundaries is key—might take some time, but hang in there! ⚡️

It's understandable to feel betrayed when someone you trust shares your private thoughts, but consider that they might genuinely care about your well-being and want to prevent harm.

Alright, here's a thought; maybe Ekko's just clueless about the impact of his actions. Trust can be as fragile as glass, and he seems to have dropped it like a noob; Handling someone’s raw emotions isn’t like playing a damned video game—there’s no reset button when you mess up. I've been there where people thought they were helping but ended up making me feel worse because they didn't get the gravity of what I was dealing with. Just remember that finding someone trustworthy is crucial in this labyrinthine process called life, even if therapists so far haven't cut it for you. Don't let one dude's mistake make you lock away your thoughts forever 🚫

I can understand your frustration with feeling like your trust was violated, especially when you were vulnerable. It's possible Ekko and his friend acted out of concern for your safety, even if the approach they took felt intrusive. When dealing with mental health issues, confidentiality becomes a delicate matter; sometimes people closest to us genuinely believe they're doing what's best, albeit without realizing the impact on our trust. It might be worth exploring alternative forms of support that resonate better with you while maintaining autonomy over what you choose to share. 🙏

Sharing such personal stuff and having it thrown back at you by the people you trust is brutal; happened to me a few years ago, and it made me swear off telling anyone anything for a while.

It's tough when someone you care about like Ekko takes action that feels intrusive, even if they might have had good intentions in mind. Sometimes people act out of fear for what might happen, not realizing they're making it harder for you to open up; it’s a fine balance between protecting someone and respecting their autonomy. Maybe consider setting clear boundaries with Ekko and others involved—or finding a way to communicate how this has impacted you—so there's less room for misunderstandings in the future. It’s important to find a support system, whether it’s friends or professionals who truly respect where you're coming from.

Hey, I really get how you're feeling like you've been burned and all. It's a real bummer when you put your heart out there, and it feels like it's just being thrown around; Trusting someone is already hard enough without people mishandling your most intense thoughts. I've had my own share of moments where reaching out felt more like a trap than support. But maybe there's some silver lining here—like, at least now you know who to steer clear from when you're feeling vulnerable? Doesn't mean you need to bottle everything up forever though! There's got to be somebody out there who's worth trusting; just sucks it can take a while to find them!
