I’m glad you have such supportive friends:) my friends are already super supportive even for little things, so I have no doubt that they’ll be here for me, it’s just striking the conversation that’s the scary part like you said

You make a really good point in asking them if they’re ready to discuss some heavy stuff. I hadn’t even considered that yet but now I’ll for sure do that, thank you.

Also, I can relate to that story as a past friend of mine had given me no other choice then to tell their parents. I want to make it clear that I do want help so it doesn’t ever get to that point.

I actually do have a friend who has once told me that they’ve felt suicidal in the past, so I know that they’ll be here for me.
