So my “friend” that I was talking to about my depression misread a text I sent her. Somehow she came to the conclusion that I want to kill my boyfriend. I don’t know how anything I’ve told her could be turned into that. But she called the police and they showed up at my house last night. They asked if I was suicidal and if I was planning on killing my ex-boyfriend and myself. I said no, and they clearly thought that the whole situation was stupid so they joked a little and left. Then my “friend” comes to my door, with her cousin. I was so mad that I swore and told her to go away.
I told my boss that I wanted to quit today, because that “friend” is also my co-worker and I was pretty confused as to why she’d lie to the police. He asked me to wait a few weeks to see if things would calm down because he was pretty sure that she was just trying to help. I said ok and he was probably right.
Then, when the time came to switch shifts, my “friend” came to the booth to clock in and I calmly asked her to wait outside the booth until I left. She completely ignored me and said, “I’ve told all your other friends about what happened”.
I don’t know why she’s doing this. I only talk to one other person, who’s also friends with my ex-boyfriend. I’ve been asking him recently to tell my ex that I would like to talk. But now I know that he told my ex what happened. I’ll never be able to talk to my ex now. He thinks I want to kill him.
Now everyone thinks I’m crazy. All I wanted to do was talk to someone. Now I’m completely alone. I feel even worse than before. I just want to die. I’ve been holding out to see if things could get better and they just got worse. I can’t even die now. Ever since the cops came my parents have been constantly watching me.
I can’t deal with this anymore

I’m not sure how she would get that idea, but I’m positive this situation will reverse itself with time. People will see you’re not a danger to anyone and eventually they’ll stop taking it seriously. I know it’s not what you need right now and the last thing you’ll want to do is just wait for things to settle down, but it won’t last. Your ex and your other friend might have a harder time taking it seriously anyway.
I just don’t know why she’s doing this. And no. My other friend is already ignoring me.
I don’t think they’ll keep ignoring you forever.
Maybe she’s angry/bitter because you said you wanted to die? People can take it badly.
I sense there are many things going on here that you don’t know about. So try to let go of the anxiety and give everyone a chance to calm down.
Your boss sounds like a super good human being. Those are really rare!
We don’t think you are crazy. Oh God, if you only could see the number of texts I’ve sent that were badly misinterpreted! This shit happens. It will pass.
Thanks guys. Honestly, I step back and look at the whole situation and want to laugh. I guess it won’t really matter if they talk to me again. I mean, I’ve known them for a long time, they should know I’m not that kind of person. But yeah, my boss is a good guy
I only have one question for today. Why the best posts are in the trash compartment.
Because Oscar the grouch is very, very depressed.
You have a great boss, kudos to that person. As for the friend situation, there is more to this than the surface. People do unspeakable things when emotions are unchecked.
When I want to act I count to five. Then count again.
