I have a friend with long-standing mental health issues. She recently told me that things are tough and that she sometimes feels suicidal (although doesn’t currently so no immediate risk). I sent her a card which said ‘You’re awesome’ on the front and inside I wrote ‘Life is so much better with you in it’.
She hasn’t acknowledged it or responded to another message when she normally would and I am now really worried that I’ve screwed up with the message. Does it look like I’m trying to make her feel bad for feeling that way? I was genuinely just trying to be nice.
