Keep talking about it

The people around you do not know always how to react if you tell them that you have depressive thoughts. They are afraid to lose you and try to give you a solution. Most of the time these solutions are not the things you want to hear. What a lot of people forget is that talking about suicide is more important than the solution. In most of the cases, depressed persons will not do a suicide attempt. Depressed thoughts only become dangerous if you keep them to yourself.
