A friend I’ve had a complicated relationship with (which I recently ended because of a lot of drama and mistreatment) confided recently that she is suicidal. She has no family or close friends and will not go to the hospital. I’m very unwell myself but have gone over there the past two nights. I lost a sibling to suicide a couple of years ago and the idea of her dying because I failed to help destroys me. This person has been abused by police in the past and I can’t imagine calling 911 (con’t)

Oh wow. This is a really though situation. I’d call the suicide prevention hotline and ask for their support.. I honestly can’t think of any other alternative. I hope you and your friend make it through this difficult period.

There’s probably some mutual aid groups around you that can do wellness checks or such without involving the police or even institutional psychologists, since many people have concerns about forced hospital stays and avoid help.

..on her. I’m a wreck physically and emotionally and I don’t know what to do. My sibling’s suicide was extremely traumatic and this situation is making me sick. I’m not qualified or capable of staying with her and providing the level of care/support she needs but she really has no one else. She’s in therapy but I’m doubtful she will be honest with her therapist about being actively suicidal. I have no idea what to do.

I need some advice. I have some co workers that are really disgruntled and complain about their jobs a lot to me. It really bring me down and makes it hard for me to work because I get constant messages about how much they hate it here. I’m friends with them outside of work so I don’t want to explode on them. What do you recommend I do/say to them? I want our friendship to last but I can’t stand how they talk right now. And honestly some of their bitching is valid but some isn’t imo.

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?
