I responded in the other thread. I think you do have to be careful who you tell about suicidal thoughts. If you are in real danger you have to tell someone hospital or no hospital. You do have experience with that other friend recently that was suicidal. He obviously told someone or you would not have known about it. Maybe you and your friends prevented a tragedy. I don't know the details. He is probably someone you could talk to who would for sure understand.

Anyway I think a teacher by law has to make a phone call if he perceives you are a serious threat to yourself or others. Thoughts don't count as that.

I think you need to quit worrying about being a burden and overwhelming people. That is not fair to them. I find the vast majority of people to be caring and want to help. They may not know how to help and say stupid things but they have good intentions. You do have to be careful who you choose but at some point you have to give them a chance to help, to be understanding, or at least try to understand. People may not understand but I find most are loving and caring in this world.
