assert that they need to get professional help. while you can be offering an ear and love, you are not their therapist and nor should you be. we can always spare time to listen to friends woes, but someone who is deeply mentally unwell requires a professional to assist them in working through their issues and learning techniques in order to combat them.

For someone that is actively/seeking suicide, it’s best they go inpatient unless they are bluffing, then outpatient therapy is fine.

Take them to the bunny ranch.

Bun-buns always make me happy seeing them hop around and eating/nibbling the dew grass.

Turn them over to authorities if it's becoming that serious. MOST people are suicidal, most people have a death wish, it's normal, common. They just don't talk about it because they know most people feel the same. By suicidal do you mean person has actually attempted or is attempting suicide?

Tell them don't worry, be happy.

God and such, I’d always talk to them and try to keep the friendship going but they were always quick to push me away when I talked about their problems. It morphed them into another kind of person and I was too naive to see it. I wrote and sent them my 3k word document which I’m still bringing up because of its significance to me. I’ve never written anything to my friend anymore due to my words falling on deaf ears. I sent them my link for it but I did not write it for them or anyone else. I simply wanted to understand the relationship between man, sin, and the hidden element. I don’t know what they’re up to now or if they even read my message…personally I’m a bit glad I’m not tethered to that energy anymore of their household, whatever it was like, I’m sure it wasn’t good. They unfriended me, but they didn’t intend on adding me back themselves…the times that this did happen…and to this day still nothing though I’m not sure if I would accept. They have no use in my life and I have no use in their life, and I’ve accepted that already. Helping people who don’t want to be helped makes them resent you and it doesn’t help to enable them, a friend’s battles are not yours to contest especially if they have no favor in helping themselves out. I still come out and say all of this because they’ve attempted once and might do it again in the future and you should be be taking it as a warning in where you place your energy at, no one will think of you as a coward even if you’ve once offered advice or help. The real cowards are the ones that don’t see their problems and pretend nothing is wrong.
