When someone is feeling depressed or suicidal, our first response is to try to help by offering advice or telling our own stories, when the best thing to do for someone who is suicidal, is to listen. People who feel suicidal don't want answers or solutions. They want a place to express their fears and anxieties and a place where they will feel comfortable. Really listening to someone is not an easy thing to do.
