I have... an acquaintance, or maybe a friend, who knows, that goes to Northern. Lately, they've been going through what I guess are to be some rough times. Rough as in needing extra psychological care outside of the university. A few nights ago they were taken to the hospital via an ambulance for reasons we won't get in to. This was actually last Tuesday. Now, here we are on Monday and they're already back at school. What makes this so tough is that this isn't the first time it has happened.
On Facebook you read people posting on their wall, "Oh we miss you" "I can't wait to have you back" "Glad to see you back in Lunch today!". However, what these people don't understand is that this person needs some serious help, and wanting them to come back to school is actually probably hurting them, and not helping. When here at school this person relies on more than one person to be able to get through the day, which I wouldn't have a problem with except for it's taking away from others' life. If that makes sense. I guess I just don't like to see this person causing harm to another friend just because they need help. There are professionals who's job it is to take care of people like this, why not have them go there for a while until they're better. More than 5 days?
Again, if you read this, and know what I'm talking about. I apologize, but it's something that has been bugging me for a few
Have you tried talking to the person about getting help? I'm going to say that I really do NOT have a CLUE who this is about, however I have been stuck in a similar situation before. It sounds like you're being indirectly effected by it all, and I'm sorry it's stressing you out so much. If I were you, I would try to guide the person to other outlets. You could even try to reach out to family members of this person. I know you're in a difficult position, but hang in there.
