Yesterday I saved my friends life...can anyone chat to me? I need to unburden a bit.

I feel all sorts of mixed up today. A bit sick. Worried. The situation isn't fully resolved.

Here to hand hold

Feel free to chat away. What happens to your friend?

talking it through will help

Hi, I've just taken a call from someone in authority about the situation so I feel a bit better. It's quite a burden mentally when you're on your own, remembering what happened. & my friend isn't out of the woods yet. They want to go private not nhs but there aren't any beds free at the moment.

Glad you've managed to get some clarity on the situation. You did an amazing thing for your friend.

It would be better if I knew they were tucked up cosy in some hospital with doctors/nurses looking after them. At least I am reassured other people are involved now & plans are being put together.

What a time.... It blows your head.

Did you post about a friends suicidal ideation before? Is this related...? Good to talk these things through with others. I work in an industry where traumatic situations are discussed and debriefed with the team involved.

Well done you. But surely there's trauma post event. Usually individuals in such scenarios need debriefing in order to process and come to terms with the event and their reactions. I'm sure all will understand if you cannot post details, however it will help if you could if you see what I mean. But if you can't then it will help if you post detailing your reactions and then posters may help if possible.
Some common issues post event are reliving the event, reimagining the outcome, flashbacks, etc.

Thank you Dont. I've realised that not only was the event traumatic for the person in question but it was also traumatic for me. Sounds silly to say it. But you only look outwards in that moment, not in at yourself. You want to feel the sunshine again, to distance yourself from the blackness. I've already lost one friend to suicide this year.
