Help I think I really fucked up by telling a friend

[Meimi18]

I told a friend about some of my plans and now he's freaking the fuck out

I don't know why I thought he'd be ok with this, I can't believe I was so stupid. I was hoping he'd finally stop worrying about me, maybe if he's angry enough he'll stop talking to me? I'm worried he might tell everyone else, and then I won't get the chance to tell them myself

I don't really know what to do know, help?

I would tell him that you've thought about things and are taking it day by day. That kind of language that will hopefully make him think you're doing better (even if you're not).

Unfortunately I think he'll be more hyper aware of your actions for the next little bit. I'm not sure how close you are with him, but you should try your best to not disappear in the event that he might call the police to report you missing and/or your plans.

Lastly I would also write a note, not necessarily a suicide note but somewhere to vent how you feel. It's hard to keep everything bottled up inside, and the need to tell someone in real life can be very tempting. You can also use this forum to vent, but I personally find that physically writing something out is a lot better in terms of scratching that itch.

You our not stupid you reach out to a friend I probably would turn it around and do the guilt trip or you could make it just like a normal conversation say that you feel better for saying it out loud and it now makes sense to live give him a positive answer not a negative answer

Never tell your friends about your plan

Never tell your friends about your plan

I'd say it's an unwritten rule unless you want to I guess.
