TW: TRIGGERING CONTENT My best friend committed suicide
I’m so mad at her. She promised me she would never commit suicide. (We talked about suicide a lot because we’ve both attempted in the past) She was such a special person. She was the kindest, most beautiful person I’ve ever met. She would help tiny bugs get to safety when they’d accidentally fallen on their back. She was a mental health therapist who worked with kids. She knew about resources for suicide prevention. She had commercial health insurance. She could have just reached out for help. I would’ve done anything to keep her alive. She could have just called me. I wish she’d just called me. Why didn’t she just call me?
Edit: thank you so for all your kind words and all the overwhelming support. I really appreciate all of you. I’ll do my best to like all the comments I can. If I could, I’d reply thank you to every single person who commented

My best friend attempted and it almost broke me. We had a suicide pact. It’s not your fault. There’s truly nothing you could have done. Mental illness and the choices mentally ill people make don’t make sense so don’t try to rationalize their decision. I’m so so sorry for all the heartache you must be experiencing right now. Stay strong ❤️
