I am changing the focus of this thread (I have been tring to post this thread for a number of weeks but it will never go through, tonight it did - )
Should I and how should I approach the topic of depression(/suicide) with someone I know? what would you do? I really don't know what to do - I don't even know whether the warning signs are true warning signs, they might not be. I can't put the whole story up here. I barely know the person, I just can't let it slip because if they are depressed, it's a serious situation and time is running away - I don't think they will do anything but I know they are capable of it and things you don't expect, do happen. I am not close to them, in their eyes I can not relate to them or their problems.
Please help

ALL I WANT is a site that will give me advice on whether to and how to approach the topic of depression(/suicide) with someone I know. Does anyone know of anywhere I can ask? I don't particularly want to ring a phone line, in fact, I won't end up doing it.
