It’s difficult for me to help. I know I appear selfish, but what brought me into my worst depression ajd almost taking my life, was helping a suicidal friend. It felt like I constantly had their life in my hands. It felt like I was constantly walking on eggshells. I dealt with that feeling for almost a year and I’m still working over it.

Recently, someone else has come into my life. We started off great having an easy-flow conversation and it feels like because we became a little close, they’re trying to do the same thing. He told me, “just letting me know”, out of nowhere too, that he was going to kill himself. And about an hour ago, we were having an emotional conversation about my mental health and he was supportive &amp; understanding too. When I was justifying something, he said he wasn’t enough? (Didn’t relate at all) then left me on read for half an hour, came back and told me he was going to do it. I just don’t know how to help him, and the way he approaches the topic makes me nervous. It just feels like I have no idea where he’s coming from, and I’m healing from a friendship that went downhill for this exact reason, and because of that I just won’t ever say the right thing at all.
