What are your thoughts on someone who says....

I'm suicidal but dont worry about me!!!

If possible, always best to guide them to professional help. Consequences of making them mad at you for not hearing the second part of the sentence, pale in comparison to the consequences of ignoring the first part. It’s hard when they refuse that help though.

@trackman11 she is getting help... but her experiences she's told me about dont add up...

@BondGirl84 often a cry for help is part truth and part fiction, and it’s possible for someone to use a suicide threat to manipulate or draw attention. The hard part is that it’s difficult to know and very few of us are qualified to help, while we are all capable of feeling guilty if we are wrong.

Either they're feeling down and use a morbid sense of humor to cope with it, or more likely, it's a clear cry for help

@TinyViolins the person in question is already going through mental health issues & is seeking help... it seems quite extreme... but yes she's getting help... but I think she is making some shit up... I told her that I am a light sleeper & the smallest thing wakes me up but she thinks I need a therapist & go on medication but she thinks it's ok to call me at 2am because of a panic attack but wants to ring me instead of talking to her girlfriend who is asleep... she doesn't want to disturb her girlfriend but wants to wake me up & disturb my light sleep... yet I need a therapist for not sleeping lol yes I need a fucking therapist lol no... I just don't need to be woken up at 2am!

@SW-User I have a dry sense of humor but I wont joke about death... esp when her own dad died via suicide...

I would freak out and sit her down to talk

Attention seeking.

@Shaun I agree... her dad died via suicide & she's very angry about it... he died 6 years ago & she said she only feeling grief now... she had other problems but a lot of it seems far fetched... attention whore!!!
Means, really worry about them .....

@iamonfire696 she's already getting help & seeking a doctor's advice she might be bi polar.... but some of her stories doesn't add up...
