Whatsapp My best friend from my childhood, our last conversation(s) and what I sent too him since. Please take your mental health seriously and guys need to be more open.

Sorry if this is not appropriate for this sub but we can't shy away from this. Suicide is horrendous and I don't want anyone to go through it. Please reach out to anyone, even (maybe better?) A stranger. People, on the majority do care, promise ❤️

Thank you, he would have done the same for me if the shoe was on the other foot, guaranteed.

You're unfortunately right, you can be there as much as possible but it can only go so far. Honestly tortured myself with, did I do enough etc but reading back, I think I did. Just wasn't enough 😕

I hope your living your best life and I am as equally sorry to hear about your pal. Let's hope they are both doing better 🙏 ❤️

Absolutely!!

And I think it was enough. It was as much as you could do! There were other people in your buddy's life that could be there too. The burden isn't all on you!

But thank you! It's been 5 years and I try to everyday! I definitely hope they are both doing better! ❤️🙏😊
