I've considered reaching out to you when you talk about suicide but I probably don't have anything to say you haven't heard before. Probably just annoy you and get a hostile reaction.

Ditto to that. As someone who understands suicidal thoughts, how could I possibly talk someone out of it without lying to them or repeating a platitude from the suicide bingo? Best I could do is just try to comfort them and be there for them.
