A friend of mine has expressed determination about suicide recently. She's attempted many times before and this time she feels that it is the best decision for her. Her life is really difficult due to her health and people not willing to accommodate her disabilities (work, friends, etc.) and medications has not been able to help with her depression. I don't know on how I can best support her because saying things like, "it gets better," is just bullshit when you've been going through difficult times for 20+ years. I don't want to lie and say bs things that we both know are false, but I don't want to somehow encourage her either. I don't know what to do and I feel like I'm not the best person for her because I feel suicidal myself.
I notified her girlfriend who then told the mother, but the girlfriend got pretty upset toward my friend which I think supports my friend's opinion and decision to end it since "no one likes her" and that she's "a nuisance for everyone."
