This a story from someone who wishes to be anoymous.

"My friend texted me asking if I was awake, and if I could talk to them.

I said I was.

Their mum wasn't responding to their messages, their family was all asleep.

They were trying to convince themself everything was ok.

They were thinking of killing themself.

I tried my best to make them feel better, to make them feel wanted.

Eventually, we were sending each over funny things to make them feel better. But the problem is, I don't think they trust me enough to tell me that somethings not ok until it's too late for me to help them"

Short story, but it shows how important it is to show someone you care. A lot of people hide their emotions until it bursts and causes irreversible damage. I'm glad you were there to help them. Thank you for sharing. I hope your friend's doing better now.
