How to say congratulations?

A friend of mine just sent me a text video message letting me know she just got released from mental hospital. How should I congratulate her. Not a joke but yes it’s funny lol. I didn’t even know she was there. I love my friends lol. It’s gonna be a long night.

Don't send her that song! That's for sure! There's got to be a more positive you've got this kinda of song! You can tell her you love her and are happy she's doing so much better.

idk but good for her.. my bro used to go to those places constantly he's like another lvl type crazy 🙄 but i guess its better than not getting help.. sigh
It's good that they let her out of grippy sock jail(don't say that btw) Just say, Something like "Hey, welcome back! It's so great to hear from you and I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm sorry I wasn't up to speed with everything that was going on, but it's good to have you back."
@BlameBrett Damn, kinda random of her to even let you in on it, but perhaps she's reaching for a lifeline bc she's honestly got no one else and is feeling kind of low? Who knows

@DancingStarGoddess I know I’m confused by the text lol. I found it funny but now feeling bad posted about it cos it’s not my story to tell thinking I might delete this. But it was so off side felt funny in the moment
@BlameBrett it's like "hey... it's great they released you, but um we kinda don't talk all like that?" It leaves you at a loss for words bc wtf do you even say lol

I would just say I wasn’t aware you were away and dealing with a lot, but I’m so glad to hear you’re doing better now.
BlameBrett · 46-50, F
@MellyMel22 I said something like that but was a rushed response. I could have responded better.

@BlameBrett I saw your reply. I mean what did she expect? Who knows how to respond to that perfectly and right away? Some may, but I’d say it was a surprise and you were trying to not come across offensive by thinking about what to say.
BlameBrett · 46-50, F
@MellyMel22 thanks, yeah I thought the wow no response was a bit much. I needed a minute or two to think how to respond to that.

Yikes! I'm not really sure. That is kind of a shock I'd be asking someone what to say, too.
BlameBrett · 46-50, F
@WanderingHelplessly she seems to be having fun though. Just thought it was so random got a video text saying she was just released from a mental hospital, going to a bar on a Sunday night and venting about her ex. Then double text after two minutes later “ wow no response” excuse my ex mental patient if it room me two minutes to respond lol

TMI so deleted

This is all I’ve said so far, thanks similar worlds she’s mad at me cos didn’t respond right away cos I was posting here and distracted. Lol.

Geez that's a tough one. I guess I would welcome her back to the real world without saying it like that. I'd follow up with a little conversation too, so as not to dwell on the fact of where she was.
