this guy really likes me to put it simply.. hes really depressed. i dont wanna be the reason weather someone stays alive or dies. thats to much. he said im the only thing thats actually keeps him from doing stupid things im the only thing that means something good to him. He said theres only thing that keeps him moving and happy is me. i guess he isnt wantedat home. he wont answer my calls.. i left 2 messages saying call me.. he hasnt yet. he wont answer my calls.. at all he always does. Even if he is on the other line no matter what. He says the sound of my voice can bring a smile to his face.. so why isnt he picking up? Its really scary.. and i want to call for help. i have my yellow ribbon card if any of you know what that is. I could call the suicide line.. but do i have to give my identity away.. or say specifically who i am talking about?

Aunty_Zozie answered Monday April 11 2005, 11:40 am: If you call any kind of help line, it is ENTIRELY down to you to give information on your whereabouts, name or anything. Suicide lines are excellent for helping people, but getting the person whose feeling suicidal to call the line is another. If he seems to like you this much, maybe you could play on that emotion to get him to try and get help. Say it would make you really happy, or something along those lines. If he won't get help, then it doesn't have to be all pressurised on you. YOU can get help from these call lines about this guy, without having to give anything away. The operators are kind, friendly and give completely unbiased and often useful help. You don't have to go through this alone and its rather unfair that this guy has put you in that position, although he can't really be blamed for feeling depressed. Also, try and get it out of him what it is thats depressing him, because if you know what the cause is, then you know what the solution is. In the meantime, however, just taking him out to the cinema or having days out together can really cheer people up. Sometimes just letting the person forget their problems and have a good time can really help long term and short term, and you'll always be remembered for being a brilliant friend and helping so much. good luck and ask me for any more advice on this if you need it, as i'm going through pretty much the same thing with my friends.

If he was really going to kill himself he would probably done it. But I think what he really needs is time away from you and even when he is okay he may not wanna be around you that much. I hope thi helps. [ tweetysweetyangelLeLe's advice column | Ask tweetysweetyangelLeLe A Question ]
