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 can somewhat understand what your friend is going through, and although everybody is different- one advice i can give is that if he shows no reaction to being comforted or you being sympathetic and he wants to stay on his happy go lucky, all the attempts to reach out probably won't work.
Hes probably used to keeping to himself and expressing it...... reply
