WHAT TO DO WHEN SHE TELLS YOU SHE IS DEPRESSED, SUICIDAL OR HURTING HERSELF:
1. Show up at her house. When she tells you to leave, tell her you won’t go until you know she’s safe. When she stops crying out of numbness, know this is the worst time to leave her. Know this is the time she is most likely to hurt herself. Don’t leave her until she’s laughing, until it reaches her eyes, until you know she’s not faking it. When you finally do leave, remind her that just because you’re gone doesn’t mean you’re far. Tell her you don’t want anything to happen to her. Tell her to please stay safe.
