Now I Feel Bad About My Rant

I posted a discussion ranting about my "friend". Today I received an email from him saying that last night he almost committed suicide. WOW! Now, I feel like a jerk! I emailed him back and told me that if he needed me then all he had to do was call. I just don't know what to do or say, or should I just leave him alone period. I just hate to hear of anyone who wants to give up on life like that. I know I have felt like it a few times and have even felt that way recently, but I always keep in mind that I have two children to think about and how would life be for them if I wasn't here. Have you ever known anyone who said they wanted to commit suicide?

Well I have acutally known a few people that tried it. One was aserious attempt but the other two were just calls for attention. I think that if your friend is say that he wants to end his life, it's time to talk to someone about it. It could be that he really needs help and that he is telling you in hopes that you will know what to do. I hope that things get resolved and that everything goes okay. Good luck.

Well, he actually acts as if he doesn't want to talk to me, so that part really has me worried. I don't know, I hope he does get help.

O dear. I hope he does not mean it. My Mother in-law always said people who talk about it are the ones that never do it and are just looking attention, but I dont know, I could not turn my back as I am far to soft when it comes to things like this.
I really do not know what do say or how to advice you on this one. You go with your own gut feelings as they usually are the correct ones.
I really hope though that this man is not playing with your mind, but there is only so much a person can do to help some people sometimes.

Very true. I really don't think I know everything that is going on in his head. I think there are a lot of things that might be going on that he hasn't told me about. I just wish I knew what the whole story was, but I only have the bits and pieces that he wants to give to me. It hard too because he is married and I can't just go knock on his door and say, "How you doing?". I'm just kind of in a really sticky situation.

What if he find out this thread ? Maybe you need to talk to him personally or if he has some problems he might need some professional help for that matter. I don't have those kind of friends ever, hence, I am not sure myself how to deal the situation. Best of luck to you then.
