Dear Charlie, I have this friend who I love to death. She is one of the poeple I am closest with and one of the best people out there. I have known that she struggles with depression but tonight she told me that she wants to kill herself. I am so scared because I dont know what to do or how to talk her out of this. If she actually did end her life and I knew about it but didnt tell anyone it would be my fault. I'm so worried and I just need help.
Dear friend,
I had a friend like this too. And I know how hard it is. I’m sorry you’re having to go through this. It’s hard loving someone who is depressed and hurting especially if you love them. I want you to know that you are not alone and you have me. I also think you should tell someone that she is suicidal because that is very risky. I would know. I would tell her parents or someone with authority and let them know that she is and or was thinking about committing suicide. I know it’s hard to speak up, but I know you can do it because you are beautiful and so is she. I hope for the best for you two. Please know that I think you are both strong. You really are.
Love always,
Charlie.
