If someone very dear to you continually expresses a desire to die, what do you say ? My closest friend feels the meds are making her feel worse, she has been on reduced hours at work so lack of money is a problem. She may loose her job due to her sick time she has taken. She is disappointed at the lack of support from MH services, although she is in touch with them. She is about to start some private CBT as don't seem to be able to access it on nhs. She does not want to die, she desperately wants to feel better, but at times she feels suicide is the only way forward. I feel completely helpless, and terrified about what she may do.
