I had a boyfriend that used to tell me he was suicidal and me and another friend used to sit with him for hours. I left work a couple times. I have no idea if we stopped him or he never really had any intention. It is emotional blackmail like another person said. Even after the relationship was over I still felt bad about it. Eventually pretty angry because you start to feel responsible for them after a while. It was several years ago and right now I have a knot in my stomach thinking about it. If you are suicidal please call somebody who can actually help you. If a friend tells you they are suicidal please keep yourself safe and get them to a professional.

I think that's why it is a bad idea to post that here. It is upsetting in part because you can't really help and they aren't getting the help. It would be devastating to some people (me) if somebody did that and disappeared. Best thing PC can do is spell it out.
