Is it okay to unfollow an (old) friend on social media because they trigger your anxiety?
Before I begin **trigger warning: mental health, talks of suicide will be mentioned**
As the title says it. I am currently thinking about unfollowing this person as what they post has been triggering a lot of my anxiety. I do not really speak to this person as much as I used to, but we were once close and this person has me on all lists such as private snap story, close friends on IG, and finsta. They have been posting a lot of concerning talk about ending their life and all that. I am also a person who struggles with mental health. Lately this person has been posting a lot regarding that topic and I’ve even reached out twice in two separate incidents, but the messages I sent were never read/ignored.
It has gotten to the point where this person was actually sent to the ER because of those things mentioned. They are fortunately okay, and they keep posting about it on their private feeds that I am still (questioningly) a part of.
I know that they do not owe me a response, I get that. I also really wish this person the best, but reading the posts has honestly had me on edge the last few days and noticed that my anxiety was through the roof and I want to take care of my own health as well. Should I feel guilty about unfollowing this person? I also follow a family member of theirs as we used to also speak, so I’d probably have to do something about that as well. Any suggestions would definitely help thank you!
