One of my oldest friends just reached out to me and told me she was given a week off work to sort herself out because she is having suicidal thoughts.
Our relationship has always been close, we were in each other's weddings and we moved across the country together. We have drifted quite a bit when we got to Edmonton, growing as people and developing different interests and careers.
But when she messaged me just now asking me to go for drinks/coffee cause she needed to reach out to someone instead of isolating herself like she wants to, my heart dropped out of my chest. She is part of my family, no matter how much we have drifted, I know she will be there for me if I needed her.
So now here I am, looking for advice from the amazing people I have met on this site. I've already set plans with her and we are going to have drinks and get her through this. What I want to know is if you've felt this way, what helped you? Or if you've helped someone through something like this, how did you help?
I know everyone is different, but I would like some guidance and help on where to start.
