My boyfriend is in college and he sends me this message about one of his coworkers that him and the rest of his coworkers thinks is suicidal. He wants some ways how to approach him with out attacking him kind of thing.
So basically he’s extremely antisocial. Like he’s a senior and we think we’re his first friends in college. Our group generally makes jokes about how we’re gonna kill ourselves (we’re a bunch of stressed college students) but recently he’s said some things that have come across as more serious, the main one being that if he doesn’t have a job when he graduates he’s gonna call it.
If your friend is struggling, make sure you’re there to support! Encourage your boyfriend to encourage all the friends around the person who’s struggling to keep encouraging him - make sure they’re staying positive, realistic, and keep checking in! Also, if this person is recognizing that he’s struggling with suicidal thoughts, have them contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (assuming he’s in the US - contact info is on their website: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/). He’s obviously struggling with a lot, but with everyone rallying around him, hopefully they can help get him through the dark times!
