Being available. I find that sometimes I am worried that I am being a nuisance if I seek out support — that I am bothering the person I reach out to. If an individual makes it known that they are there for me, that they care, it makes me feel as though I am supported and have a system ready to help me when I need it. It's the knowledge that someone else is there that makes me feel supported.

I had a friend who felt suicidal at a certain point in their life, so I did my best to support them by being there to listen and letting them know that I cared about them. I also made sure to let them know that they were in a safe space when speaking with me and tried establishing trust in relation to them being able to share their thoughts. Once my friend calmed down I recommended them to get some help and offered to escort them there. Thankfully they seem to be doing great now so I feel happy.
