Rule 1. Don’t talk about mental health, especially when it’s someone you know personally.
Rule 2. Never talk about Mental Health – It stirs up feelings of resentment, anger, guilt and helplessness towards the person who is ill.
Rule 3. Review Rule 1
It sucks but talking about someone’s fragile state of minds is a scary topic. I am totally unequipped to handle it when someone freaks out on me and starts acting “weird”.
There’s an overwhelming feeling of self-preservation that sweeps over me, almost like I think the person’s corrupted mental state is contagious.
My initial instinct is to run away, throw up a drone and snip them from a distance. Unfortunately, tactical moves from Ghost Recon® Wildlands will not work here.
How does one handle someone showing signs of massive memory loss, chronic paranoia, irrational thoughts and threats to self?
