I suffer from depression and anxiety. I have this tendency to take on other peoples problems and stress over them even if I hardly know them.
Last night one of my friends I've only known a month (who is a guy) told me through text that he was having mental health issues like hearing voices in his head but wouldn't elaborate. He always does this to me, would only tell me a little vaguely about things but never wants to expand. He got offended when I asked him to elaborate and stopped texting me after dropping that bombshell on me.
The thing is that he knows I worry a lot, to the point that I don't sleep all night cos of the stress. Suffice to say I stayed up all night last night worrying about him. He never text back after I asked if he's upset with me and I'm sorry.
I eventually text him that I wanted him to do me a favour and not tell me things he isn't willing to discuss as I worry too much. Am I being a selfish cow? I feel so guilty :(
Put the internet to work for you.
