Hi all
I was recently contacted via a sm platform about a mh issue I had/have. I'd put a comment on a year or so ago to let the op know I'd been there and some steps that helped me.
Anyway this person contacted me and I gave her my number - she messaged me dozens of times the first night as well as voice messages etc and then from 7am the next day and on throughout the days like that.
I'd given her advice and support but I found myself drifting back into the condition myself as I was concentrating on it so much !
I told her this and that I needed a break she just carried on and on - in the end I blocked her.
I feel really bad because I know what it's like ( it's a dissociative disorder) and it's horrible but I told her I'm not a mh professional and I was thinking I could've be more of a causal person to message from time to time and go through the journey with her. But she was using me and a constant soundboard all the time.
I've not slept too well last couple nights thinking maybe IBU to have blocked her ? But at the same time I am feeling better mh wise.
