This Sunday I was going back home from campus for another doctor's appointment on Monday and I called one of my best friends from high school to let him know I was in town and we should hang out. Long story short he told me he just got out of the hospital because he recently attempted suicide, he's feeling better but he was in the hospital for five days. He I was thinking I was going thru a tough time after finding out I have lupus and after seeing the doctor today possibly a kidney disease. He's my best friend from high school and I admit I could do better to keep in touch but its just......... I never thought someone I knew would ever consider doing that..... I didn't know how to take it or even what to say to him. We're going to hang out when I get in town but I'm worried that I'm not going to behave properly that I'll be too sympathetic or not sympathetic enough.
I bring this up only because I was wondering if any of you have had someone close attempt suicide. What did you do? I want to be there for him and I want to help, I admit I kind of blamed myself for a second. It's just weird.... He's a great friend and to think he was going thru such hardships that lead him to that and I had no idea. If he went thru with it I would have never known unless someone else informed me. What should I do? I want to help him, but how? Or is there any resources or websites I could help from.....
I'm not doing to have ya feel bad, but I just.... I wanna do this right and I figured someone might know something here...
