A friend committed suicide

[Pulp501]

Last week one of my best friends, who was like a sister to me killed herself. Right now I'm still in a mix of shock/denial and complete sorrow. Its taking me a while to comprehend what's happened, the same thing happened with my mom so I guess it's how I grieve. In a couple weeks I'm going to be very upset and I don't know what to do. My depression was already getting worse and now I'm not sure if I can handle it. A few weeks ago I was thinking about how I couldn't get any lower, that was supposed to be rock bottom but after this I feel like I might end up in a place I've never reached with my depression. I don't think I'll be suicidal but i don't want to go through this.

Also, I used to post on these boards a lot and I understand a lot of people posting here have trouble with depression too so if you read this and are also going through a hard time please message me, maybe we can help each other.

I'm not necessarily depressed but I've helped one of my best friends with depression before, and I'm willing to talk or help if you want

I'm very sorry for your loss, it is an extremely hard thing to deal with especially when a close person has committed suicide. You've got to stick together with the people that you are still close with, if you have anyone. Now, more than ever, is when you need people and you'll find that when extreme events like this happen there will be a lot of support available from all areas.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. A death of a friend is very difficult to deal with, suicide especially. Please know that it's perfectly okay to reach out to someone if you need help or even just someone to talk to.
I wish you the very best through this time of grieving.
