Friends, I need help.
My friend was suicidal again today despite me convincing them not to do it the other time, they're having a real bad time.
They told me "if I go missing for like a week, you know…" but I had them talk to me and I spent the day making them feel better.
I actually made a very stupid promise too…it will be hard to keep it but I hope it made them reconsider.

I'm concerned for their safety help.

They believe their life is going to only become worse in the future.
I'm not sure what's going to happen but I've been talking to them daily out of concern and they're appreciating it it seems.

no. my suicidal tendencies come from borderline personality disorder. i mostly stave it off, even though i have urges and thoughts on a pretty daily basis.
with what i've been doing, which is planning on moving with my roommate to washington state and helping people who have troubles with stuff, i think ill have fun (and some stress) being around more people. and also going to conventions in seattle and seeing airshows there too (love the blue angels)
the suicidal tendencies are a side effect of my disorder. and its not treatable with medication. i don't really know if the way i deal with it is the right way, but it seems to work, guess i just have lots of willpower.
>>37960
if there's one thing i've learned they don't know that, you can't tell the future, people don't seem to really "get" that, like they'll understand it, but not fully "understand" it.
my life was filled with a lot of abuse and suicide attempts, basically my life is like some drama film, later on, i ended up in the ghetto, and saw a lot of gang violence. not sure how im still alive but i am.
anyway, my life is much better now. so ive learned that important lesson you cannot tell the future.
your friend just may need more support so they dont off themselves until the day comes where things do get noticeably better and they stop thinking about death and dying. and eventually, they may get to the point where they actually realize how much better their life is because they havent thought about suicide or how shitty the world can be. but of course, its possible life will get worse, or remain the same. :\ i dont wanna be a downer but thats how reality works.

Thanks for the advice, but i found a way.

You're wrong.
The internet removes your persona so you feel free to shit on others because you don't ffear consequences that's why Chans are like this.
We're simply a group of unlucky people, of course we would have repressed anger to vent.
Go out, buy yourself a cake and leave the lady the change.
Invite some friends or parents or whoever and share the cake with them while watching some Netflix or whatever.

I hope it all winds up for the best between me and that person.
Worse case scenario my friend gets a nice life and forgets about me.
Best case scenario my friend always stays by my side no matter what.
But as long as they are happy, I'm alright with any of the two.

offered my battered mother to help her force my sociopath brother to go to his community service today. he's only 17 but he's already got multiple felons. she appreciated the offer for help but said "what's the point, he won't listen to you anymore than he does me." but i did make her smile.
joined a discord server.
exposed a bunch of incels to the wild and extremely alien idea that you can live happily without vagina. not sure how receptive they were to it, but they heard me loud and clear. hopefully they can find some tiny bit of happiness.
exposed a bunch of normals to the wild idea that maybe it's not such a good idea to use "think of all the people you'll be affecting" as their primary argument against suicide, because that argument is assuming that friends and family are a constant. i have no friends and only one family member who's suicidal herself and would simply join me happily if i died, so that is hurtful and YOU SHOULDNT JUST ASSUME EVERYONE IS FUCKING NORMAL AND HAS 1000 INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS LIKE YOU DO ALL THE TIME
if someone's fucking suicidal then it's extremely likely they either have no friends and family or the ones they do have are shit so shut the fuck up and stop constantly looking for opportunities to brag about how socially successful you are.
and i know for sure they learned their lesson cause they did indeed shut the fuck up and had no arguments at all. they were usually very argumentative with me but not on this one because i'm right as fuck. so hopefully next time they give their normie anti-suicide talk about how great living is FOR THEM they'll at least leave out this one that's cruel as fuck and a lie.
all in all a productive day

Hello nice friends! :D
I only now saw this board and I really like it. I was reading the posts and you've all done really good at being good. I wanted to share a little story if that is okay.
>Be me
>Out with friends to get limes from a store
>Waiting in car
>Guy comes out with some bags.
>He looks really sad, middle aged, glasses, overweight, half bald with a comb over, slouching
>Looks like the day had run him over
>Guy is loading bags into a Mini Cooper next to me
>Notice it's a sporty turbo charged one that had just been released at the time
>From my car I say "Hey!" to the man
>He turns to me still frowning and makes a big unhappy huff of air and flatly says "What?" like he expecting one last bad experience before getting home
>I smile at the man and point to the car while asking "Is your car half as fun as it looks?"
>He flatly says "No."
>Then he sets his glasses on his nose, he draws in a breath, he straightened his back, he puffs his chest out, and a sly smile shows up on his face
>In seconds he looks like a different person
>"It's twice as fun." he says in a cool tone
>While out another word he gets into the car and peels out of the parking lot with screaming tires

>Philosophizing with strangers on halfchan

>Unbeknownst to him, his presence alone had a really positive impact on me because he was this really open and sympathetic sort of person who was extremely socially-aware (to put it in my own words) and was always making sure his conversation partners felt heard and respected, however without overdoing the act and coming off as annoying
>We replied to eachother back and forth for a long time and I tried my best to help and motivate him. I'm not sure anymore if he was suicidal, but if he was, I was trying hard to talk him out of it
>He was really touched by the things I said, thanked me and made me a lot of compliments, and in a way that convinced me he really meant everything he said and wasn't just being polite
>At the end he wanted to give me money via PayPal, saying that I deserve it for what I have done for him
>I couldn't accept it and instead told him to just be kind to others after he's taken care of himself, as a way to return the favor
>After a while he thanked me again in a really emotional post and left the thread with newly gained hope
Even though I'm poor, I'm an extremely materialistic person for a very specific reason and therefore was really happy about his offer, however I have no regrets about not taking him up on it. I was glad both about him and my decision that day.

Last year I helped an old blind man to switch trains at a train station. I went with him to the right platform and waited with him til his train arrived and made sure he got in and everything. While we waited for his train we chatted a bit. He was 82 years old and his wife has passed away some years ago. I told him how impressed I was that he was taking a train to visit a friend all by himself. He said he is still upbeat and he can't let his condition ruin what little life his has left. Tho being nearly full blind - he was down to 2% vision seeing only light and dark patches - is very hard. He used to be a painter and being unable to paint or look at things hurts.
