I feel so absolutely helpless to help my friend

I am supporting her and being there for her as much as I can, which is difficult too because she's very in distress. I'm happy to do it but it's a lot sometimes, especially because I can't fix things for her

She is losing so much right now and it's awful 😔

She keeps talking about how insignificant she feels and that she is fantasizing about suicide

@caccoon does the BP know the husband?

caccoon · 36-40

@AllelujahHaptism yeah he does and they don't like each other

@caccoon maybe not collusion between them then....

Hugs, wine (if appropriate), and listening. Probably wouldn't hurt to give her the hotline as well.

There's only so much you can do and you do so much. I hope things get better for her soon

@Selah I really hope they will, it's a nightmare for her

Sometimes just listening is the most important thing you can do for your friend when they’re in that situation. Do you think you call someone about her suicidal fantasies?

caccoon · 36-40

@Jenny1234 she has a therapist, I made her promise to call me or someone else if she is in distress, or call 911.

She has the numbers for the hotlines

Luckily we live right next to one another
