Health, Mental health and Friends: Intervention

Intervention

Today, my friends sat me down and said they were concerned I was self-harming. I don't self-harm, I'm just a massive klutz. They don't believe me, and want me to get professional help. And now, because I found it all so funny, they think I'm mentally unhinged. FML

Today, my therapist started laughing at me whilst I was telling my story. He said, "Sorry, I can't help it" and burst out laughing. FML

Today, my brother and I got in a fight and he told my friends that I am mentally disabled. They believed him. Apparently, "everything makes sense now." FML

Not helping

By Anonymous - 18/11/2021 01:59

Today, I was talking to my professor and explained how depressed and stressed out I am. He called the police to my house because he thought that would help with my suicidal thoughts. My parents don't believe in mental health, and I want to die more. FML

Today, after weeks of therapy for severe depression, my therapist thought it would be helpful to confess my deepest problems to my friends, to prove that it was alright to trust people. I did. They laughed. Hard. FML

Fear factor

By I need new friends - 11/10/2022 09:00 - United States

Today, I told my friends that I have haphephobia, the fear of being touched. One of them said, "Why don't you try facing your fears?" and they all held me down and tickled me until they realized my pleas for them to stop were actually genuine when I stopped laughing and started crying… which took several minutes.

Ex-friend

Today, my friend, knowing my mental health is really bad right now, decided to yell out the fact I have an eating disorder, and how she never sees me eat ever, then started to talk about self-harm and how she would never do it despite what she has gone through. All while side-eyeing me when talking to other people. FML

Suspicious minds

By Hugh - 03/04/2021 13:00 - United Kingdom

Today, I had to explain to a hospital social worker that my young son is not abused, he is just rowdy and that he knocked himself unconscious and shattered 4 teeth in a bizarre stunt involving a tree, my ironing board, a mop bucket and lots of duct tape. I'm not sure the hospital believes me. FML

Delusions

By Ilikeurfmls - 06/09/2020 05:05

Today, I finally got the courage to tell my parents I think I'm suffering from schizophrenia. They refused to discuss it after telling me, "It's all in my head." FML

Support system

By Anonymous - 19/12/2023 23:00 - United Kingdom

Today, I tried to tell my dad that I was really struggling with my mental health and didn't think I could stay alive much longer. He laughed. This comes after telling my "best friend" last week and having to wait three days for a reply. FML

Today, I found out that our neighbors told almost everyone on our street that I was mentally handicapped. All this time I wasn't sure why they would speak slowly and loudly at me. Now they won't believe me when I tell them I'm a 4.0 GPA student. FML

Seriously have you read most of the FMLs on this site? Be glad you have friends that actually care about you.

lol, this fml made me chuckle. You are lucky, you have caring friends. And trust me, I know all about being a klutz - just last night I was jumping around in my apartment, mocking my boyfriend when somehow I landed on my little toe, twisting it. Needless to say, he laughed himself stupid.

If you were a big a klutz as you say you are, you would have learned long ago how to fall properly so as not to leave any marks or do any real damage.

Wait, what? That makes no sense. Being a klutz myself, I end up with marks and bruises without even noticing how they got there.

I'm also a huge klutz, and have long ago learned how to take a fall so I can minimize damage to myself.

If you can "learn how to fall" then can't you learn how not fall in the first place? Besides, falling isn't the only way to get marks. I may be a klutz, but I don't fall. I end up running into things.

Both me and my mom are clumsy, and, like the other person on this thread (#132?), I know clumsiness isn't always falling. I'm covered in bruises on my hips and shins from running into things.
