In my particular case, when I've felt unsafe,
nothing anyone says has any effect. Withdrawal, rest and meds have been my recourse in those situations.

It depends on the friend. Some friends can handle this kind of information; many cannot. If you find yourself moving from thinking about suicide in the abstract to
planning suicide, please treat that as an emergency and seek professional help. Any thoughts of self-harm need to be taken seriously.
Wishing you safety and a little peace (and better answers to your questions)!
