When I was in the hospital, I met this really cool lady. She was very friendly and nice to be around. Sure she had her down moments. I had mine. She was there for me. And I was there for her. But one day, she was beyond anything I could handle. I asked if she wanted me to get a nurse. She said yes. And then I let the nurse take over. It was beyond my capabilities.
Before I left I gave her my Facebook info. We are now FB friends and talk everyday. She is always depressed. I have my bad days too but I try to be positive. I share a little of the bad but not very much. She can't even remember what day it is or when I last talked to her. I keep hoping that her meds get straightened out and she gets happier. But she is always talking about how awful things are. It's always negative.
I ask myself, "What have I done?" I'm in no great shape to hold up a crashing person. She talks about being in crisis and I have to remind her to call a hotline if it gets bad. She's in mourning for 5 years. She goes on about that. I'm no therapist.
I keep on giving her encouragement and wishing her the best. And send good thoughts her way. I want her to do well. I also want a healthy relationship. Not one that's a drag. Is that wrong of me?
Any thoughts.
