What would you do if your friend is... Being suicidal?
My first asking a question here. So, one of my close friends recently has been showing signs of suicidal thoughts.. or just giving up on life. I've been trying to comfort him and being sympathetic with him (genuinely) but it seems like it isn't working. He's the type of person who like, wants to stay on his "Happy-go-lucky" and "therapist" architype, and also a writer. I'm afraid that his own thoughts would do harm on him someday. I'm asking here because no one but me knows about his situation, and this site feels...very secure(?) with identities..
(Please pardon my English, it's my second language.) ╥﹏╥
I think you should take professional help. This type of depression is very hard to detect and harder to solve just by having conversations. I hope you try to have a talk with him so that he will agree to atleast have one session with a professional atleast. Sometimes just acknowledging having issue helps. Hope he can take that one small first step....... reply
