Deadly (Literally) serious. Long, but please help.

Talking to her right now.

I asked her a couple of things, like why she feels the need to keep things bottled up. She said that she doesn't want to think about them, that she doesn't feel comfortable trying to explain, and that it doesn't help her feel better.

But then we did talk about a couple things on her mind. She opened up, and we talked. I didn't pry. And after that, I started talking about the suicide stuff. I told her that she is a wonderful and special person, and nothing should ever make her feel like life isn't worth living. I told her that she is strong enough to handle anything that comes her way.

I asked her if she felt better, getting some stuff out like that. She said she did. I told her I'm going to try and not pry as much, but she needs to remember that even if she doesn't feel a lot better, it's better than she felt before we talked. And she can come to me with anything.

I'm still going to worry, but I think things will be OK.
