you live in a country with a functional social support system thank god, that could have been significantly worse

But like. That is EMT’s job, to check on and take care of people. I’ve known a couple of them and I guarantee they did not find you annoying or a waste of their time. if anything, it was probably the best call theyve gotten all month. 90% of the time they’re responding to the worst day in anyone’s life, or the last day. They deal with true psychriactric breaks, violent patients throwing bodily fluids at them, car accidents, or having not made it there in time. All sorts of mind bending things.

For them to get a call from someone who CARES ABOUT YOU enough to want to make sure you’re ok, then they find you alive and well (albeit down in the dumps), and ultimately have support to stay that way- that’s why they do it. Literally. You are the reason they chose to be an EMT in the first place.
