My friend has been texting me that she wants to kill herself because she can’t live without her boyfriend who has said he wants space. I have told her that she will feel differently in a few weeks but she doesn’t see a way forward. I’m not sure if she is serious about suicide or just crying for help but I’m not taking that chance. I’m not used to these situations and don’t know what to do to stop her!
