I knew Amy (the lesbian friend) had some issues but sheesh. Earlier today she messaged me about not feeling well and that she has been having suicidal thoughts lately. 
Unsure how to handle that, I was just winging it with my responses but did manage to cheer her back up and convinced her to take those suicidal thoughts more seriously instead of accepting it as just something that comes with her depression issues. So I guess I must've done something right. For now I'm the only person she has told about it but I did push her to tell her psychiatrist, which she said she would do on the next appointment.
Sidenote: She's been doing alright as my wingman actually.

Anyone here work in mental health and/or has experience dealing with someone suffering from suicidal thoughts? I'd ask my coworkers for advice but I feel like it'd be too obvious that it's about Amy. Clearly she's not ready yet to tell anyone besides me.

That would be funny!
I’ve never been to the snow (Asthmatic) but imagine it’s pretty soft once it gets that deep. Just got to be mindful of what under it so you don’t hurt yourself. Looks like a ton of fun though.

I was chatting with a girl few months ago, high potential, so, very basically, she suffered for being too intelligent, she had a lot of suffering because of bad interactions with regular people, what sensitive people could understand, I was talking with her, but she did lie a lot since the beginning on a lot of things, so, I've been patient, but with time I couldn't handle anymore, and there was one evening when she was highly depressed, she was smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol, and I was asking myself, as I didn't choice a liar, I didn't choice either someone who dislikes himself, because you can't trust them. She rang off while I was speaking to her, complaining about people wanting to help her.
So, with all her behaviour since the very beginning, plus the fact she felt misunderstood, and as I wasn't high potential, not mentionning my family background, I was like : " that's it ".
I blocked her on the phone. Few days later she sent me a mail, I didn't respond, it's been months and I don't give a ####
I come from a family with a lot of suffering, a schizophrenic and violent father, a manipulative mother, I've been the most protected of all by luck and as I was the cadet and the only boy of the family. I already know what it is to feel guilty. I even felt guilty later when I failed to build something with some women, chose others, and then regret it in some way, not really regretting what I've experimented, but to not having known what it could have been.
But it's been a while I have no time for regrets or feeling guilty.
I'm just trying to have a good karma. So all negative persons stay out of my life.
I couldn't handle with Amy, I know you like/love/anything her, but from my point of view as I am not involved emotionnaly, that's typically the kind of person that make you sink
Stay away from suffering, it might sounds selfish, nut you'ld live a better life. You already have known it, you can hang out with people which are happy in their lives.
There no fatalism. And some people suffer and will suffer anyway. But when you have the luck to be able to leave all of this, just do it.

People in my family, teachers, and my psychologist have always said I am generally very warm, friendly and caring (how most people describe me) but nonetheless have barely any empathy. Not that in the sense that I can’t identify emotions but I have a very very limited emotional response. Basically a flatline. It’s literally impossible to make me mad. I don’t know what being angry feels like, I only vagualy recall it from my very early childhood before I developed the stunted empathy as a defense mechanism to certain home situation incidents from my youth. To briefly summarize, starting from the 1st grade, my dad did things like putting shotgun shells next to me and aiming at our cat with the shotgun, threatening to shoot her if I didn’t immediately start my homework. He also raped my mom multiple times, which I both heard and on one occasion secretly witnessed. And he beat my mom on various occasions.
When I got a call that my dad was in a coma due to lethal alcohol alcohol poisoning, I went to the hospital and I asked the docs to not try to wake him and immediately requested and signed a ‘do not reanimate’ document. Felt practically nothing. After signing I left and he died the next morning.
So I can handle Amy just fine. I mentally care about her but don’t really feel any emotional response when she’s talking to me about feeling suicidal. She knows that about me so I was able to pretty easily reassure her that she never has to worry about ‘making me sink’ as well.
My stunted empathy is a bit of a gift and a curse. On the one hand it helps me stay positive and allows me to deal with my illness and bad medical news much easier. On the other hand, I always feel weird and a bit uncomfortable when mentally I know something tragic should trigger an emotional response but simply nothing happens.
