To think this is shit?

I've just told dp my oldest friend, since 5 yrs old, attempted suicide two days ago. He asked,
"Hospital or dead?"
I said hospital and he replied "Ah"

Nothing else. I know I'm not the one needing sympathy, but I wanted.. something? Am I being over sensitive given the circumstances, or is that completely shit?

Ahh. Sorry,I misread so my answer I posted was not for the situation. Sorry, I didn’t see the DP & thought your friend had responded to you & thats what you were upset about.

But my DH was ANGRY at my loved ones attempted suicide. Angry because of the pain caused, I had to point out that they were suffering & suicide isn’t selfish. A suicidal person thinks they have nothing to offer the world and that the people left behind won’t have to put up with them any more & that they aren’t doing it to hurt the people left behind.
DH is still angry on my behalf. I don’t know why, I’m not angry I’m sad, concerned, upset, heartbroken.....

Had DH responded “Ah” to my distress and tears I may have hit him in the face with a shovel.

So sorry op, I hope your friend will be ok and can get the support needed during lockdown.
God knows it’s hard enough getting support without a pandemic.
