If I was suicidal, I would want to talk with someone who'd been there, definitely, and I've also talked with suicidal people when I've been suicidal, and it worked very well, it was mutual support. However, you have mentioned in the past that you have times when you are happy thinking about suicide, and that you sometimes think it's romantic, another time you mentioned that you had made a suicide pact with someone. These comments make me feel you are most definitely not ready yet to support someone in a suicidal crisis. I'm more than a little concerned
