So I'm sure most of us on here are familiar with the feeling of not wanting to be alive. In the depths of depression it is easy to feel like there's no hope. I currently have a friend with mental illness who, based on Facebook posts and messages, is at the point where he feels his life is worthless. I've dealt with friends wanting to take their lives, this is the third person in a year's time, and i know how hard it is to change your mind and perspective when in that state.

I guess what I'm asking for is if anyone has advice on what, if anything, I can say to help change the way he is seeing his situation. I know I may be asking for the impossible, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
