My nierghbour spoke to me earlier today - and i simply didnt realise how unwell shes been. Theres me being paranoid as usual and calling the police on her the other day - and yet when i actually took the time to sit down with her over a beer, it turns out she tried to hang herself from the roof the other day. What kind of nasty git can i be when i thought she was taking advantage over money and reported her - to find out she is a vulnerbale adult herself.
Trouble is i get like that - paranoia and then get accusing. I admit this Sz turns me into a nasty arsehole.
Shes stealing electric from the cupboard in the council block, and apprantley been going thru the bins outside the block for food.
I should have supported her better without listening to my paranoid head. Gave her 40 quid and taking her for breakfast tommrow.
You didn’t do it on purpose. There’s no way of knowing what people are going through, we only know what we perceive, and our perceptions might deceive us.
You’re not at a**shole. You can’t help it. The only thing you can do is tell your dr and he/she might adjust your meds. You weren’t being nasty. Just be as nice and understanding as you can be and that’s all anyone can ask of you.
Shes got Borderline PD and having the same diagnosis as well - i should have known better, i avoided her cos of the druggy crowd she associated with. Ive gotta learn to be less impulsive and judgemental.
Ill make it up to her. Ill give her all the support she needs now. Sorry Emma
I get paranoid about people, too. It’s not always easy knowing how to deal with people and it’s also hard to know what someone’s going through in their personal life, unless they tell you. You had no idea these things were going on. Don’t beat yourself up over it.
