I am a regular poster but have changed my name incase anyone could identify my friend. I feel as if I am out of my depth and I was wondering if anyone could help. My friend has suffered from depression for years, including PN depression. It has recently come back and she seems in a really bad way. She has told me she is having suicidal thoughts every day, plans doing it and the only thing that has stopped her so far is her kids. I have expression of dealing with depression as one of my parents has suffered for years but I haven't dealt with someone who seems so close to suicide. I am scared I am going to do or say the wrong thing. So far I have convinced her to go to the docs and get ADs which she has just started and she has an appointment with a therapist this week. I have told her to keep picking up the phone to me when she feels like this. Any ideas? Thanks
