I‘m writing this as a follow up to “Time of death: 4:00 am”, about what happened with my friend that almost died from an asthma attack yesterday morning but somehow miraculously survived. According to the Doctor; 10 minutes late and he wouldn’t have woken up anymore.
I mentioned being pissed; and angry at him for attempting to end his own life due to negligence and being careless towards his own health. I followed up his treatment via phone call through my other roommate till he was discharged from the hospital but I decided not to call him because I’m still pissed off and I may end up shouting at him over the phone; this is something I’m trying to avoid. I feel like he’s an Idiot and he’s only lucky to have gotten a second chance.
Couldn’t think straight cos’ it was bothering me throughout the day that he stayed in school without me and he almost died and it would have been a terrible news for his mom considering she’s still mourning her husband and may have gone crazy if we had informed her of a potential bad news.
Spoke to my best friend about it
Had to inform my best friend of what happened cos’ I couldn’t sleep last night and my chest was heavy (I’m hypertensive). I explained all that happened, especially the fact that I don’t wanna call him cos’ I’m still pissed off at his negligence and stupidity. I mean sincerely; how can an adult not know what is good for him, how can he not know how to take care of himself, and his health especially. For god’s sake it’s annoying. I’ve also got my health issues; I’m hypertensive and sometimes have difficulty in breathing when exposed to dust and heat, which is why I use face masks often especially when I know I’m gonna be exposed to dust, while staying away from the heat at all cost.
As an adult; once you understand your health and what it requires then you should do everything within your power to try to not die out of carelessness and negligence. Though I’m not asthmatic but due to my constant high blood pressure; I have difficulty in breathing hence I know how it feels to not be able to breathe, which is why I’m always careful to not experience it often if I intend to not die early. As mentioned in “The Pain behind the Fame”; I’m on permanent medications, I use drugs every day, and I use them religiously which means I had to discipline myself at a point. I believe as an adult you don’t have to wait for people to monitor your health for you unless you intend to die.
I’m angry but it’s not evident cos’ at the time of writing this, my best friend is having a conversation with me on whatsApp and she’s making me laugh; I asked her what she wants for Christmas and she says she wants a wig worth two hundred thousand Naira which is about $ 400 or so which is like my life savings (she’s obviously pulling my legs).
Anyways; long story short, she had to apologize on his behalf for his negligence and asked me to call him- which I’m going to do tomorrow because I always listen to my best friend though she listens to me half of the time lol (she mustn’t see this or I’m toast).
I know all I’ve said may not make much sense but this is me ranting on and on about how I’m angry at my friend for almost killing himself by not buying an extra inhaler and yada yada….
Lesson for all: continue to try death and maybe you’d achieve it soon.
Thanks for reading my rants and complains.
Have a wonderful evening or morning or night; whatever time zone you happen to find yourself.
