Even if the second time they were serious and they actually harmed themselves, that's not my problem. Personally, I'd never listen to someone again if I deemed that they were just attention seeking or lied about suicide. People pretending to be depressed doesn't affect you negatively by itself, but your friend applying her 'depression' in that way does. I understand that but it doesn't change my original point. I am dead curious to see what would have happened if I just told her that I didn't give a **** and went back in the pub that night. She worsened my depression because I was already feeling useless to my family, but now I also felt useless into helping my best friend. I treated her like a best friend/ my sister and she did that to me -considering that at a previous attempt her parents called me and accused me for not knowing (or not wanting to tell) why their daughter didn't return home one night when I had no idea she went out to get **** drunk and was lurking on the streets. I told her I was genuinely scared and asked her to go back inside (I even proposed her to come to my place for that night and have a nice sleepover with cake and a good movie, even though I had a busy day the next day), I had to walk with her and her sister for 2 bus stops to make sure she didn't do anything stupid. We were in the middle of an intersection with intense traffic and she just told me to leave her there, insinuating from both her attitude and body language that she was determined to jump in front of a car. After less than 20 minutes she had a scene and I went with her outside to see if she was ok. Let me place it in the context: she invited me to her sister's birthday party at a nice pub where her ex was also invited. It doesn't affect anyone else's depression so I don't see it as a big deal. To be honest, if someone pretends to be depressed it doesn't make anyone else's depression trivial or worse. Now I hate her enough to personally give her Paris Green if she ever thinks of playing that "depressed" card again. She didn't do this once, she did this 3 times.
After 2 weeks she got over the ******* and now is living fine and dandy. She ruined my return to my home country for the Easter Break with her idiotic pretends, scared the hell out of me and worst- revived my own depression for a while. I've had enough genuine attempts to not even consider physically harming myself ever, even if the roof falls on my head, thank cthulhu for that. She went all "depressed" mode and "tried to kill herself" 3 times. My best friend cheated on her ex, and naturally he dumped her. People who can't do something because they are depressed would do anything to be able to even work, rather than have breakdowns 24/7 and watch themselves whither. I've yet to see somebody ask to be excused from doing/attending something because they are "depressed". When I was depressed and I saw that it had an impact on my schoolwork, I was scared to even tell (or show) people that I had a problem. I suffered from clinical depression and anxiety for years, and I'm still battling it every now and then. I would slap the **** out of people who pretend to have something that in reality is so degrading to both body and mind. Edit: Answer: I would record her and make her say whether she is pretending or not in a conversation.
