ang dami kong nakikitang "ayoko nang mabuhay" tweets lately— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
kaya here's a thread on how to deal with your suicidal friend :-)
1. Minsan may mga times na malungkot lang talaga sila at di nila alam dahilan. Tell them you understand. Tell them andiyan ka lang for them.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
2. Kapag ayaw mag-kwento, wag mong pilitin. Wag kang magalit kapag ayaw kumibo. Yakapin mo sila ng mahigpit. Be a shoulder to cry on.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
3. If your friend self-harms, tulungan mo sila maghanap ng ibang way para ilabas yung lungkot at galit nila. Minsan kasi, sa sarili nila +— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
nilalabas yung galit nila. Sobrang unhealthy non. Wag mong hintaying dumating sa point na maadik sila sa sakit na dulot ng self-harming.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
4. Please, don't ever let them go to sleep sad. Kung kaya mo, magpuyat ka with them. Para lang may nakakausap sila. Be a distraction.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
siguro suggest a movie for them to watch or a book to read? basta something to keep their mind off of things. :-)— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 28, 2017
5. Remind them that they're loved and worth it. That they're beautiful. That you're glad to have them. Make them feel glad they're alive.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
thoughts. Ang hirap maniwalang hindi ka useless when the demons in your head tell you otherwise. They'll come around soon enough.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
help. All you do is invalidate their problems. Yung problemang hindi mabigat para sayo, kinakain na sila ng buo. Don't be insensitive.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
8. Listen. All you really have to do is listen. Be someone they could vent out their anger to. Kahit hindi ka magsalita. Basta you listen.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
there's nothing wrong with them. Na hindi sila pabigat, abala, o kung ano man. Make them feel na importante at loved sila.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
10. You don't have to fix them. Kaya don't ever promise na you'll fix them. They'll fix themselves. Slowly. Be there every step of the way.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
11. Kapag galit sila, they can become so heartless. Please understand. Kapag sumobra na, pagsabihan niyo, pero wag niyong sabayan yun galit.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
12. Take them seriously. Hindi nakakatawa yung "laslas ka na/bigti ka na" They might actually consider doing it. Don't ever joke about that.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
All tweets are courtesy of @sighfionaPero wag niyo naman sanang idiin na sila may problema. Dadagdag lang yun sa sakit.— 🌊 (@sighfiona) July 27, 2017
