Should I reply to this? FB

One of my friends from high school (we weren't overly close, but were friendly) just posted on FB"

 

"Im on the verge of the biggest breakdown... Trying to keep it together."

 

Would you reply to this status? 

To me, it's kind of like one of those things where if you see someone reaching out for help/struggling, shouldn't you attempt to pick them up or at least ask if they need to talk?  I'd hate for her to have a nervous breakdown or something and then feel guilty for not acting like I gave a crap.

The other part of me is just annoyed because I hate dramatic, look at me FB status updates.

Re: Should I reply to this? FB

  • I can never really ever tell with posts like these if they are sincere or if it's just something like you said is alittle bit dramatic and look at me. I would maybe post that you are there if she needed to talk or needed help with anything.

  • if you still talk, I would probably say something like "I'm here if you need to talk" or "let me know if you need to talk"

  • Earlier this year, an old high school friend said something worrisome in a status update. I emailed her to make sure she was all right. She wasn't. She ended up in the hospital with acute liver failure. She almost died. My sister was following her, as well. Some of her posts are still troublesome to me, like talking about "getting things together."

    Sometimes people do it to be drama queens, but sometimes people need to talk about it and either don't know how or don't have anyone to talk to about whatever the problem is. I would probably message the person and ask.

  • I sent her a message letting her know I was worried about her and if she needed to talk I would be a listening ear.   She wrote me back and said she's anxious/antsy being at home with the two kids, and she just needs to get a job. 

    Hopefully that's all it is.
