If anything it would make me feel even worse. Also these statements were told me by a so called friend when I was tempted to commit suicide at one point.

I see you are located in Isreal. what I post may be different because I am here in the USA...
some USA states have passed laws concerning this where it is now actually illegal in some states for anyone to tell someone who says they want to die, they are suicidal, self injuring and such to go ahead and other statements/ behaviors to that affect. the reason some states here have passed these self injury suicidal laws is because of suicide pacts, and coersion / domestic violence. they also passed this law because its now equivelent to assisted suicide and homicide.
since you are in a different location you may need to contact law enforcement or your own treatment providers to find out if what you posted someone said to your friend violates any laws or is ok or not ok to say where you are.
