Re: tw suicide

(Anonymous) 2016-04-15 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
I think she as cool as she was with venting, your previous conversation and mention of suicide was more than she bargained for, and she isn't handling it gracefully. That's regretful, but not uncommon, and that's a big reason why if you're suicidal, you really need to talk to a professional. Sympathetic friends can only take you so far.

If she's that good of a friend, be honest with her, but keep in mind the above and don't accuse. Not everyone handles situations like this well, and it's not a crime. Let her know that the reason you brought up suicidal thoughts was because you felt safe admitting it to her, but that you didn't intend to freak her out. Acknowledge that your feelings were a little hurt by what you perceived as a brush off. But first, figure out what sort of reaction were you hoping for from her? Was it a reasonable expectation? What do you want her to say in response to something like that? Then gently ask her for the specific kind of support you need, and ask if that's something she feels okay with doing for you.

This is something best done via e-mail, I think, where you have the time to think out what you say. If you're all right, assure her that you are, but tell her you need a break from the phone conversation for a bit, and you'll talk to her on X date, whatever you're comfortable with.
