Someone in my extended social circles has been having a very outwardly visible psychiatric episode, and I personally know like a dozen people trying to get through to them and help them. I think the saddest part is that they posted wondering if they even have any friends at all. An entire community desperately trying to get through to them and save them, comparing notes and trying to figure out a plan, but the psychosis is lying to them that they're all alone. I hope that talking about this will help someone else remember that this is a very well-known way that stressed brains lie to themselves, the next time they feel all alone while in crisis.
