Worried

Today, I texted a friend saying I urgently needed his help. He gushed back along the lines of, "Glad you reached out, everyone has noticed your terrible frame of mind, you’re a suicide risk." I meant help with a tricky Excel spreadsheet, but thanks for the support I guess. FML

Excel spreadsheets can do that! I've had to look a spreadsheets where formulas use cells on other sheets or even other workbooks. It could make you want to hang yourself. So frustrating!

I think your friends might be throwing red flags of things you might be ignoring yourself. Ask how they can tell and see if you are reallocating doing ok. Takes some introspection, but if it’s true, you might be ignoring signs you need to take care of yourself or look at the state of your mental health to head off an upcoming crisis. If you come to the conclusion you are ok, shrug it off, but keep a better watch on your health and take a vacation. Sometimes friends can see things we can’t. It could’ve been phrased better, but clearly there is a concern for your wellbeing. It may not be a coincidence. Other than that, you might want them to be more tactful when they present concerns by asking them to rephrase when they present such concerns.
