it is a long story, making it short: I suffered a psychological trauma that ended up with partial amnesia, I cant recall certain events related to the episode that gave me this trauma, but I came to realize, after months of therapy and talking with people related to whatever happened then, I came to realize that I wanted to kill myself ( although right now I dont remember that and have no thoughts whatsoever about doing it, I am really disturbed to learn that I even consider doing it.... )I found out that couple of people knew all about my intentions, I called one of them right when I was taking some speeping pills but they didnt do anything about it. I am hurt to find this out and, considering the fact that I am under treatment right now and feeling so much better and the afct tthat I could've actually died and they let me to _ can they be held responsible in any way??? I could've really died and I am shocked that I am finding this out now, I dont remember their faces, I shouldn't really care, because I dont remember anything, in fact, I am just wondering, what if it happens to someone else and they might not be as lucky as I was??
Don't they have a law or something for people like that?

It's not their fault that you were suicidal, and they had no legal obligation to save you. That being said, ditch them. While your friends/family/whoever didn't "need" to do anything, the fact that they didn't speaks volumes. Life is too short for people who can't be counted on when the going gets rough.

I can understand how this is very upsetting to you. One would think it would be natural human nature to do something, unfortunately not everyone reacts the same. I can only hope they just didn't take you seriously rather than thinking they didn't care. There's no way to prove this legally at all, so it's best to let it go and don't associate with them anymore. The only time a person can get into trouble is if they assist in a suicide. Surround yourself with kind, caring people and I hope this never happens again. Please take care of yourself! Bella.

I can understand how upset this makes you too. I would agree just not to associate with them either, unless you had to do so.
