I just saw this sentiment on twitter, and I can’t stop thinking about it.

*comes over to suicidal friend’s place* *wraps them up in a blanket like a burrito* *brings food* *stacks pillows on them* *sits with them* - VanguardVivian on twitter

It’s a great sentiment! I’ve seen similar things here, too. Often it’s mentioned for depressed friends, as well. What wonderful ideas and thoughts!

Except. Is there anyone who actually does these things? Have you ever gone and wrapped someone in a blanket, built them a pillow fort, brought them their favorite foods, etc? Has anyone done that for you? Or is this wishful thinking on the part of we who want it, and the abstract good intentions of loved ones?

I’ve lived with mental illness since I was a kid. I’ve had some nasty years where I lived in darkness and pain. I guess I hid it well, because I don’t remember getting much more than the occasional hug, usually when I asked for it. That’s not a slam on my friends and family - I knew they loved me. They just didn’t know how I felt or what I needed. I didn’t even know what I needed. Seeing tweets and posts like this, though, show me what I could have used. I wish someone had done it for me.

So I come back to my question. Does anyone *actually* do things like that for their depressed/suicidal/etc friends?

Only very close friends. Only when I know it’s OK. I would be concerned that I was invading someone’s space if I didn’t know them very very well.

no, people don’t do that, and you’re actively discouraged from asking for it in case you’re inconveniencing people, if you talk publicly about how you’re feeling shitty and would like someone to come talk to you people ignore it, it’s mostly wishful thinking, like fairy tale happily ever after stuff

you should really think about your friends and if they really are “friends”. If I asked my friend to be around and distract me or somewhat, she would absolutely be there in a minute. Well, depending on how bad it was, maybe after work, but she absolutely would be there for me. And of course, I would be there for her.
