Wwyd? When someone says they want to die

Heather K

This is a heavyish subject so here's a TW just incase there should be one.

So I really need advice. Just to set the scene for you, I'm currently 22 weeks pregnant (high risk) and don't have a great home situation. In short, my husband and I temporarily live with my mom and her husband since we all moved to a new area and needed to get on our feet. Mother and her husband have an awful relationship. Since mom's very unhappy, it's taken out on everyone in the house. She is a bit dramatic and sometimes says things like she's going to kill herself. She later says she doesn't mean it and she was just mad but it still worries me a lot.

My two best friends from home are also VERY unhappy with life. One has a serious mental disability that has ruined his life. He really truly does want to die but can't bring himself to do it because he knows it will really hurt his friends and family. The doctors have done just about all they can for him but finding the right medication has been 10+ years of failure. He's barely hanging on.

My other friend is generally depressed and also has a anger issue. She's highly stressed due to some life events. She never says she wants to die but will post memes/ or picture things on Facebook insinuating that she does and constantly posting that no one cares about her and things like that. Whenever I message her to try to let her know I do, she ignores me.

So needless to say, I'm under a huge amount of stress because I feel like everyone around me hates life and I feel the NEED to fix it, to make them happy, and if God forbid something happen...i would feel like I should of done more.

On the flip side, I know there's not a whole lot I can do and it's not my fault. I know I have to care for myself first because I'm pregnant. I'm starting to feel helpless and frustrated. Any advice on how to handle this?
