How you ask about suicide is important and influences how people respond -
GOOD - normalizing, framing and expression of care
BAD - apologizing/routinizing/blunt and disconnected from persons situation

@me_bpd this made me cry, as a mother to a child with BPD i want to reach out and give you a hug, but also as a mother of a child with BPD i know you might not want one, which makes me even sadder xx
@TalkingAboutBPD shorter waiting times for treatment, my daughters wait is anywhere between 9-12 months. With her suicide attempts roughly every 6/8 weeks the odds of me keeping her alive arent the best....
