There are people out there that are suicidal and “normal people” ( as in no depression or anxiety) don’t have a clue. It’s not hard to notice that someone is isolating themselves from the public eye. I myself am isolated, friends ask if I wanna do something and I make up an excuse. They know of my suicidal history but they don’t support. I’ve heard from many suicidal people that their friends do the same. Why do they do that? Friends say “I’m here for you no matter what” and “Don’t try to kill yourself I love you” but yet they don’t bother to ask or check up on you when they don’t hear from you in weeks. That makes suicidal people feel even worse. I just want everyone to just always check on a friend and ask how they are and if they wanna talk. It’s not hard. It’s just what I need now…but I just want everyone else to feel better. Like the headline says. PEOPLE SHOULD NOTICE.

I was going to say that they’re probably not good friends if they don’t bother to check up on you. I don’t just mean YOU, jarch, but in general, you know? But instead of just making it a simple black and white issue, I think that people avoid that subject because they don’t know how to approach it. It’s uncomfortable for them. It doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t care about you, they just might not know how to act or what to say. So they avoid it. Not saying that it’s right, but it’s definitely possible. It’s hard for people that haven’t dealt with those feelings to understand how you’re feeling. The only think I can suggest is sitting down with a friend and really trying your best to explain what it is you feel in terms they can understand. If you haven’t already. Hopefully that will open up their eyes or minds a little bit.
People don’t know how to deal with you.
Sure they are your friends but they are often afraid of negative emotions, they may worry that talking will make it worse.
