Fear of losing friends to suicide

shortstuff

Most of my friends are somewhere on the spectrum; have adhd; the spicy AuADHD combo or/and are LGBTQIA+. I have already had a friend attempt during Uni and I am seeing suicide threats on my facebook news feed pop up. My best friend also came out as trans recently and she is depressed. I can't stand this.

  • I'm sorry your facing this alone. I've seen both sides with suicide (been suicidal myself years ago and had a close friend who couldn't cope with it and cut me off, then lost a different friend to suicide last year). Is there someone you can talk to away from the friendship group who can listen without being triggered e.g. a family member, counsellor/therapist or even The Samaritans? Someone you can discuss your feelings with safely?
