How to Prepare your friends

[Totally_nothin]

A lot of people here is probably absolutely alone, they don't have anyone and that's the reason why they feel as they feel... but what if u have the friend(s) who knows about your mods and supports u to not do, to keep u here and so. what if u have started some projects and so... how would u prepare them? Because the sentence. "I am going to kill myself on the friday" - example
- sounds pretty harsh and brutal. I mean, they would for sure understand that u don't feel the same way about life as they do, that u are depressed and so, that u just simply wanna do that, but is there any other less cruel and less straight way? if anyone has ever done anything like thins, like prepared their friends and so, please leave the comment here, down.

I've thought about this topic obsessively over the years and what I finally concluded is that there's no right way. They will never understand. They will never be truly prepared.

It's unfortunate that most people can only identify with that which they've experienced personally (WTH is their imagination for), but I've tried to have so many of these conversations over the years and the result is always the same.

Most people are exactly alike no matter how individualistic and unique we like to think we are.

Same shocked response. Same lame comebacks. In my case, I get the sense that no one believes me. They can't possibly fathom knowing someone who despises life (like it's a reflection of THEIR character to know a suicidal person).

Ask them what or how they would finish a project or would be alright if something happened to you, like you got hurt badly or got sick. Then be prepared for the "what do you mean, do you plan to hurt yourself"

I've had people get angry at me for simply mentioning suicide. Someone even sent the authorities to my home for a "wellness check". Luckily, I wasn't institutionalized but it was still horrifying.

There is no possible way they could understand, let alone accept, that decision. Most people are like that, though. They are just blindly pro-life without considering life is too much for a lot of people. In such a society, "preparing" others doesn't exist.

Yeah once I mention the actual suicide part I have had stuff thrown at me by folks who I know do really love me and don't know how to live without me in my role and in their life. That's the sad part because my guilt I feel is still more than I can bare.

I am afraid I would make them suicidal if I carry through with things because it would drive them possibly to where I am at now.

Sometimes the overwhelming cloud for me becomes too much for me to take them into considerations, I get blinders on and only see one way to fix it (or drop it) or whatever you want to call it.
