[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 86401, member: 1991"] Dore - you're right about raising the subject of suicide if you're concerned. Too often we think, "Oh dear, I don't dare mention suicide in case I put ideas into her head." But if you're already getting a sense that the person is feeling that desperate (or even close to it) then the person themselves has already gone there, mentally. Suicidal feelings are often much worse when the person also feels emotionally isolated - "can't talk to anyone, nobody would understand." But raising the topic actually opens the doors again to communicate, which can be so very valuable, especially if the person is shutting down communication and feeling that nobody wants to understand. Suddenly, there is someone who has asked a very important question and now is clearly interested in listening. Marg [/QUOTE]
