My friend and I were hanging out/pregaming so: drinking, smoking, listening to pop hits from the 2010's aka having a good time; and of course I forget what I said exactly but something depressing, something that for the sake of communicating to yall: like "well if only I could fucking kill myself/sweet sweet release" okay.

Tell me why they responded in a way that !! healed a part of my hurt: "well if you ever need a last dinner, just ask, I'll cook." The notion that they would just see me and hold me in my suffering and let me make my own choices as a person always forced to cope. Something I didn't know I needed to hear from someone.

It was healing because it was validating. Your friend didn't invalidate your feelings which is what most people would automatically do. Sometimes just being met right where you are like that has such a healing effect. Sometimes I try that with others just to watch their reaction because they always give a sigh, like something's been released.

Sounds good but don't say your ctb plans to anyone, your loved ones will say share anything but if you say you gonna suicide especially your friends, I won't be surprised if they say your plans to your family members

I have heard this in this forum a lot, where friends snitch to their victim family who is trying to ctb
Because people don't wanna carry the guilt where they didn't do something to stop you from ctb

To everyone don't share your ctb plans to your family and friends if you are really sure you going to ctb!

I think it's surprising how that person reacted in such a way as so many people in this world are so anti-suicide and refuse to accept it as a logical option. I would generally always see opening up about wanting to die as being a terrible idea but at least that person was understanding.

Its a beautiful reaction. No judgement, no saying anything to invalidate your thoughts, just pure comfort and support. You are very lucky.
