Emotional distress

Nope. Everyone is responsible for their own actions/reactions.

 

Not always...

But a few minutes of "stress" wouldn't seem to rise to the level shown here: Guilty Verdict for Young Woman Who Urged Friend to Kill Himself

 

Please clarify what you mean regarding: "ganged up".

What did you say in your messages? Why do you expect Professors and fellow Students to "check" your mental state?

 

...and to tell someone you're stressed is not the same as telling them "I'm going to kill myself".

 

Please explain exactly what "ganged up on me" means? In other words, what exactly did these folks do, and in what context did they do it?

So...after asking "to be left alone," you sent (to whom?) "messages that could be []interpreted as being aggressive." If you wanted "to be left alone," why would you do that? Don't you think that sending those messages was contrary to your request "to be left alone"?

What exactly are you implying here? That folks can't confront you about admitted "poor behavior" without first "checking [your] mental status"? That's beyond absurd.

I'm not familiar with the word "neg" (except as an abbreviation of "negative" (i.e., a photographic negative)). I've never heard of it used as a verb. What exactly are you saying here?

All I really get out of your post is that some folks might have said some mean thing to you that made you feel less than special. Without some sort of clear description of these persons' actions, the only reasonable conclusion is that you have no valid legal claim.

 

"Making it known that you are stressed" does not grant you any legal protections or rights.

 

Well...ok, but then how do you explain this: "I admit to poor behavior (messages that could be misinterpreted as being aggressive), they where sent after I asked to be left alone"?

Now, please address the other parts of my prior response and, in particular, explain what these folks actually did.

Concur.

 

Fortunately you survived your attack upon yourself.

Thank goodness, you're alive to recount the troubling attack you waged upon yourself.

If you haven't begun the process of psychiatric rehabilitation, I hope you'll investigate it, and enroll yourself ASAP.

No, you have no one you could initiate a lawsuit against, as you were attacked by yourself.

I pray you'll soon set out for a journey to being fully restored physically and emotionally.

 

So true, but there are now a few exceptions.

One that is most troubling to me is the stress card (as in back off, I demand a time out) given to new army recruits.

These magical cards are placed in a recruit's pocket of her/his blouse.

If "sarge" has been too mean, yelled too loud, spoken too harshly, cursed at the tender dears; the recruit can whip out the card and that vile, evil, brutish "drill sergeant" must allow lil 'cruit time to sulk, brood, rest, and when lil 'cruit is ready; he/she can begin taking part in all them soldier games.

I'm alive today because of my drill sergeant in Basic, AIT, jump school, and the ranger course. Those men had been where I was headed, and their knowledge kept this lil 'cruit alive, allowing him to stay alive.

Sorry for digressing, but I find this trend distressing.

Stress isn't a broken shoelace, no empty parking spaces, stress is angry VC, NVRs, and ChiComs hunting you with the intent to kill you every day and night.

 

If the OP was in basic in the military when she "made it known that she was stressed" she has yet to make that clear.

 

What EXACTLY did they do? Do give us a conclusion...be specific, please.

 

Yes, they are. Go do some Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. That's exactly what is taught.

 

The law does not give you a right to be free from stress. The law does not give you a right to be free from others saying mean things to you, shouting at you, or otherwise making you feel miserable, other than in a few specific situations not applicable here. The law does not generally make others responsible for your acts of self-harm. And for the most part the law does not impose a burden on others not related to you to look out for your interests. Once incident of people "ganging up" on you and saying things you don't like does not give you any legal claim. Moreover, you admit that you sent messages that might appear threatening, so you are not completely innocent in this chain of events either.

In NY, in order to successfully sue for intentional infliction of emotional distress or negligent infliction of emotional distress you must prove several thing you must prove more than just that you were stressed out by what others said to you. See the NYC bar page on emotional distress claims.

 

I doubt that OP was in the military.

Because lil 'cruit would flip out that "back off, I'm stressed" card without hesitation.

 

I know what you're saying, but I posted a link to a case where someone else was found legally responsible for another's suicide. This IS a legal forum

 

I have read this and your subsequent posts.

It is not the job of professors to "check up" on you, or act "in loco parentis".

Even if you are a minor taking college courses, it is not the job of professors to take care and look after you. It is not even the job of your advisor to look after you, or bring you chicken soup when you have a cold.

You have no legal case, and you need either time or therapy, as you currently lack the emotional maturity to live away from home, doing grown up things.​

 

These two statements are contradictory - (1) you had asked to be left alone but (2) you expected them to at least check in...
