Please reply quickly. In about six hours I need to see a loved one who is trapped in a cycle and refusing to listen to anyone (they're not suicidal, I'm the suicidal one, and helping this person is the only thing I have left before I CTB. This is vital to me).
I'm going to do my best to try distract then. But they've been extremely stressed from work, relationships and their living situation so those topics are off limits. I can't ask how they are. I can't say anything at all about their mood without them closing off.
I could try talk about their hobbies but that topic is overdone.
I think the best I can do right now is fake being bright and excited and only talk about things relevant to today and the here and now. The past and future will make them close off I believe. I have an infectious personality so I'm hoping that by being bright, they'll feel lighter.
What I want to know though - what are your personal stories of someone making you feel better (even for a few minutes). Was it a hug? Was it a specific question no one else has asked? Was there an epiphany?
Any suggestions or anecdotes are appreciated, no matter how specific they are. Please.
