[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry, OP. My friend of 30 years committed suicide last year. My sister attempted suicide not too long ago. I know how incredibly painful the loss is and have asked similar questions about how it could have been prevented. My sister, who is bipolar and was thankfully unsuccessful in her attempt, said she didn't want to be a burden to our family anymore due to her mental health issues. She said she felt trapped and was tired of fighting the pain. At the time, she was seeing a therapist who she later realized wasn't a good fit. Now she is doing well. I've learned that the responsibility to want and seek help rests with the person but at the same time, I've become less hesitant about asking my sister how she is doing, how therapy is going, etc. I regret not having a heart to heart conversation with my friend before she died. Maybe she wouldn't have been honest with me but I'd take back our last conversation about superficial things any day. I miss her.[/quote]
