Worrying about suicidal people online - ways to stop fearing the worst?

@Wiseacre thank you. I hope it was a lie.

It happened on MySpace in 2009. I believe the person was lying as they were using photos of other people and I was messaged by multiple accounts in a pile-on attack. All the accounts had fake images of site-models.

In light of this, do you think I was lied to and no one attempted, or died? The fear has always stuck in my head that it was real - even if the people saying it had fake identities 😢

I wouldn’t give it another thought.@BurningBright

@Wiseacre it’s hard to do. If a fake account told you something horrible happened, and then you found out it was a fake account… would you think they were lying about everything?? 😔

@BurningBright possibly..just let it go!

@Wiseacre can’t. It has no closure… did the fake account lie? I keep wondering if someone really died and I was the trigger. It happened in 2009 on MySpace, but it has stuck with me… no offence intended when I say that letting it go, would require a bit more than “let it go”

Understood, but if u can’t do anything about it, u must let it go or drive urself nuts. @BurningBright

@Wiseacre yeah… I kinda wondered your perspective though. If you theoretically got blamed for something bad… and later you find proof that person has a fake name/photo… would that automatically make you think that they were a liar? 🤥

@BurningBright YES!

@Wiseacre I kinda get why. It just also seems hard to feel certain…

@BurningBright nothing is 100%certain..u’v no responsibility here, so let it go.

@Wiseacre trying to accept I was lied to and no one died cause of me 😔 it’s hard - lived with it so long… I’m tired of the agonising tbh
