if you had a friend who was suicidal, what would you do?

[Postal]

hold them

[Ad Bot]

[Drydess]

hold them

hostage

[Satan From Wreck-It-Ralph]

kill him first

[Nonnel]

be a good friend and let them vent out to a reasonable limit

[Super Suit 12]

Call the cops if they're gonna do it immediately and try to stop them by force, otherwise try to talk them out of it, remind them the only way life can get better is if they let it continue

[Master Matthew²]

hostage

oh no

[NotBomberguy]

talk them out of it
I actually did this once, and I hope it stays that way

[Bisjac]

Take them serious only the first time it became an issue.

after that its personal stuff, and a personality disorder they need to not involve me.
many people just loving love attention or "threatening" for what they need and want.

[K3k0m@n]

are you suggesting not many people here have friends who are considering Self Delete?

[Juncoph]

well ive got like 3 of them and it really doesn't help to tell them to ask a professional when such professionals are thre ones that made them that way
at that point there's only one good thing you can safely do, be a good friend and let them vent out to a reasonable limit

are you seriously suggesting that suicidal people shouldn't get therapy?

[Drydess]

are you seriously suggesting that suicidal people shouldn't get therapy?

if it's harming them, absolutely
not to say that suicidal people shouldnt get therapy but more that they shouldnt keep going in that case

[thesquidyman2]

Encourage him.
That's what friend's are for, right?

[Unwritten Calender]

advise him to get help from a professional???

9/10 times this does not work
