TW: Suicide

[(Anonymous)]

I'm the anon from a couple weeks back with the friend who was being very distant/ghosting me. She resurfaced two nights ago to say that she had a failed suicide attempt a few weeks ago. She's asked to see me and I'm meeting her on friday.

I'm so fucking scared of saying the wrong thing or doing something to make things worse for her. She has young children. I'm so scared for her and her kids came so close to losing her. i want to be there for her and I'm so scared of making her feel worse.

Hi anon. I don't have any firm advice but I did search around and found this, it's a webpage for people trying to support their friends: https://988lifeline.org/help-someone-else/

Otherwise I guess just let her say her piece and tell her that you're glad she's here and that you care about her.

Reading through it now and it's really helpful. Thank you so much.

Re: TW: Suicide

I'm so sorry that happened, OP. It sucks. I remember my BFF in hs being gone for a week, and I got a letter from her saying she had been self harming and was in the hospital under care. I wrote her back and said 'u don't know what to say', and later she told me that was the best response she got, because it was so honest.
You're not supposed to fix your friend or he her therapist. Tell her how you feel (scared, relieved, confused), tell her you're happy to see her (I'm assuming you are), and ask her what you can do for her. Maybe she wants an afternoon of pretending nothing happened, maybe she wants to tell you everything, maybe something completely different. Just listen more than you talk, and try not to treat her like a broken person.
You got this
