What’s the most supportive way..

that I can react to a suicidal comment from a suicidal person? I tried ignoring it and light heartedly changing the subject. I don’t want it to come off like I don’t care but I also don’t want to feed into their melancholy. Also what is the reason behind the exhibition of such feelings? Genuinely trying to comprehend.

Sadly, you have to take these things with a grain of salt, i try to be more of an ear than feed into it. I would never want to come off as someone encouraging it, i pray that everyone seeks help so that's what i usually encourage them to do. I've noticed that there are alot of people on here with mental health issues.

@AngelUnforgiven yeah it’s a little sad how that happens. Are we devolving? Is it natural selection at play? I dare not ask but I do wonder it to myself why it’s so abundant. It’s a heavy topic I suppose.
